I never checked to see if it opened the neighbors garage door.

Bathroom? Looks like a fan switch to me.

It's just a combo GFCI/on-off switch for a light/fan or whatever. I can't help with the "it did nothing," part. It's probably supposed to do something because it costs more than a standard GFCI duplex but who knows without more investigation. Maybe that's all they had in the box.

Thanks Mike,

I hope it's not an obvious sign of a grow opp I might have missed.

I install crap like that all the time just to mess w/ people's minds.

I pity the poor fool who gets to inspect Chad's house when he sells it. Actually...mine would be no picnic either. [:-paperba

Gary, was there a jetted tub? I've seen some strange locations for those GFCIs. The switch might be not be connected to anything.

Hi Richard, I think Mike may have nailed it.

This was in a basement half bath / Mechanical room. Nothing fancy.

Yes it looks like something that should have been smashed with a hammer. []
