FAQ
-
How does a card switch work?
Inserting the room key card into the slot completes the circuit and turns on power to the room's non-essential sockets and lighting; removing it cuts power after a short delay.
-
Can I install this myself?
A like-for-like replacement is straightforward once power is off. New installations need an electrician, since the card switch controls a dedicated circuit.
-
Does it work with any key card?
It works with any standard plastic card of the right size (room key, hotel card, or similar) — no special chip or RFID needed.
-
Will it fit a standard wall box?
Yes, it fits a standard 1-gang wall box.
