SNations Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Does anybody know anything about this type of electrical receptacle? It was in a bathroom so I'm assuming it's supposed to be GFCI, but I don't see any "test" or "reset" markings (I don't know if that's required but I always see it). Plus it was dead. I've never seen one like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 That's a new one to me. I couldn't have resisted pulling the faceplate and exploring that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Kibbel Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 I'm sceptical that it's a respectable receptacle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kogel Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 Anyone that's ever pushed that button was instantly vaporized. Meanwhile, life goes on and it still isn't installed properly.🤕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kogel Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 It is not a 'Deficiency', and I wouldn't even mention it. Straight up and down is correct, box attached solidly to a stud. Maybe the pic is rotated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Katen Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 After some research, it looks like a Z wave receptacle. Either one or both sides can be controlled by a Z wave hub. As I understand it, this is a wireless version of the old X10 system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
