Question: Any of you heard of "automatic receptacle control". What type of receptacle(or wiring) would this be?Thinking controlled by occ sensor or the like. Just a random question I was curious about.
Automatic receptacle control refers to a type of electrical receptacle that automatically turns on or off based on certain conditions.These receptacles are typically controlled by occupancy sensors, which detect the presence or absence of people in a room. When the occupancy sensor detects someone in the room, it sends a signal to the receptacle, which then turns on the power to any devices plugged into it.When the occupancy sensor no longer detects anyone in the room, it sends a signal to the receptacle, which then turns off the power to the devices. Automatic receptacle control is often used in commercial buildings to save energy by turning off lights and other devices when they are not needed. Flag for review
