Turn even more Devices off and Save More Money and Energy with the 2011 Bye Bye Standby® Range
- More cost-effective than ever before!
- All sockets now capable of controlling larger devices that use up to 3,000W (13A)*
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Bye Bye Standby® 2011 range.
What is Bye Bye Standby®?
Bye Bye Standby® is a popular energy-saving brand that helps owners to save up to £38 a year. We have shipped over one million units since its release.
Simply plug your electrical devices in to the Bye Bye Standby® Smart Sockets, enabling you to take devices off standby when they are not in use, and stop wasting money and energy. The Bye Bye Standby® system makes it easy to turn off all your appliances at the touch of a button, using either a remote control or wall switch. You can choose whether to control individual appliances or groups - allowing you to turn everything off, for example, as you leave the house or go to bed.
It is also possible to switch devices on and off remotely, using our Online Controller, or set times when certain appliances automatically turn on and off - great for simulating occupancy when you are away.
What is different about the new range?
The Bye Bye Standby® redesign gives users a number of new benefits:
- All Smart Sockets can now be used with devices up to 3000W/13A*. Previously, you would have needed a heavy-duty socket to control larger appliances, such as large plasma TVs or audio-visual systems. As well as being more robust, the new sockets are even better value for money.
- The new Smart Socket casing makes it easier to use the device in electrical sockets that are mounted low to the ground or recessed into the floor (as can be the case in older buildings or purpose-built office blocks).
- The improved design of the remote control makes it much easier to change the battery.
As the popularity of our products has spread worldwide, we are now producing Smart Sockets and Powerdown Strips suitable for use not only in the UK, but also in the rest of Europe, North America, and Australia/New Zealand.
Are the new Bye Bye Standby® Energy Saving Sockets compatible with existing products in the range?
Yes, the new Bye Bye Standby® sockets can be programmed to work with all the existing controllers, such as the Bye Bye Standby® wall-mounted switch, motion sensor or remote controls, and are fully compatible with the Online Controller. Unfortunately, the new remote control can not be used to operate previous editions of Bye Bye Standby® sockets or the lamp dimmer.
