Can I "pass through" the power to a device, or do i have to use this as a switch for another circuit?

You cannot pass power directly to your device from the trigger side of the relay by way of the board itself, BUT what I did was solder a wire between the Positive (top most) pin on the trigger side to the Input (top most) pin on the relay side. Then I applied a piece of non-static film tape over the back of the board.

I am not sure I understand your question, but will try an answer to what it sounds like you are asking. Say you have a 12VDC power supply, you can power this circuit and also connect the 12VDC to the relay, once the time is up the relay will engage and send the 12VDC to whatever you want to power. You can also hook the 12V power supply to this circuit and to anything else that needs to be powered and use the relay to switch something else. I wish I could post a drawing it would probably help. Short of that if this does not answer your question you can tell me what you are trying to do and tell me about what all you want hooked together and what you want it to do.

You should be all set then and that was what I described in the first option. Two things to remember, your 12V power supply must handle enough current for both the circuit and whatever it is you are powering and the other tip is if you are using LED's make sure to use a current limiting resistor on it unless it has it built in.

No! One side is POWER ONLY. This is not a switch. This is for your pocket hard drive. Don't try anything else.

You can. Hook one wire up to the strobe relay and the other directly to the light. This device only switches power though it has a ground the ground is straight through. The device supply's the 12v+ from a 12v in wire it connects to and the wires are only about 16 gauge so they can't supply a whole lot of amperage . You may need a relay between it and the direct connection to the light so that it does not over heat and burn the wires.

While I don't own this particular device, I can tell you that my (similar) switch is simply a pass-thru... it doesn't contain the needed circuitry to up/down convert any signals. (I need both optical and RCA cables for my audio).

It should be fine. This switch is just a passthru, no internal electronics.
2039369
Definitely. It's just a pass through for an outlet. I'm not sure it is the best way to turn off those devices, but that is for you to decide!

The switch is equivalent of you unplugging the device from one computer and then plugging it into another computer.From other comments I see it even works if you extend the output with a USB hub.I see no reason why this wouldn't work.
355517
You could, but it will not work. Different transfer protocols and different wattage(might cause damage).
711002
Yes, providing you leave the switch in the "on" position (allowing power to the outlet). Note: depending how many wires, and what they are, in the box, breaking the tab may not have the usual effect (i.e. switching only one plug). For this to work, there must be at least at least four wires, hot, neutral, and a pair that goes to the sw.

You can use it with a downsizing to 110 watt converter. You need to adapt your voltage to your device, not vise versa
1611378
Short answer is no. You could disconnect the power to it. I keep it hidden, but if the need arises, I can reach and hit the reconnect button.

You will need to use a relay in order to do something like that. The switch alone cannot handle that much current, it is meant for very low voltage situations, or use with a relay switch.

I would not recommend doing that because of the current load. The switch has a 10 amp (PEAK) rating. I would not recommend using it for more than 5 amperes of continuous current, more than that for any lengthy duration would likely increase risk for breakdown and potential fire. If you are using it for very low power devices, you could do that, but I would check the current rating of everything you daisy-chain from it very carefully before doing that.

No you do not - simply connect it to the GPIO headers on a raspberry pi. The connector on the bottom is where the unit draws power from.

if the switch controlling the light fixture is on then the outlets on this adapter will be on. there is nothing special in this adapter to control the power.
2006073
Yes, you can use it just as an on and off switch. It's how I use this particular device.

I am pretty certain you don't have to connect two loads. If required, you could wirenut both loads together and have both switches control the same load, then when you are programming it you can change the function of the switch.
