Will this sign turn on and off using a switched outlet or does it require the remote to operate?

You can do it with switched outlet or remote. If you are using switched outlet then leave the sign "on" using the on- off button behind it, then switch on and off with your outlet switch.

It is switched but is on when the unit is on standby: it only goes off when the 790 is totally turned off. So, if you use the remote, a device plugged into it will not be turned off when you turn the amp off remotely.

We installed it in a laundry room with no switch. The light turns on and off automatically. You can use a standard switch with it, but you would leave it "on" at all times, but this could lead to confusion, if someone accidentally turned it off.

Switching is done manually - it's the blue "switch" button. It cannot be controlled by a remote.

To best answer your question, this is not a auto switch..if you have your STB (set top box) output cable plug into the switch number (1) input, you don't need the remote, the number (1) input is active when you turn on your switch, hope this help.

There is no option to turn it on and off via remote. I just unplug it from the back when not in use

No. It has to have power, and then be turned on with the remote or button on the unit.

It will turn on automatically - I used an outlet-based remote to turn it on and off and it worked great.

No. The only way to simplify the on/off function would be to install an outlet attached to a light switch.

It has an outlet that a remote switch can be plugged into. You will have to acquire separately and install.

If the outlet is controlled by that switch, it would definitely turn it off. I would bet against it being able to be turned on. On is a touch function, not a switch.

The unit does not have an on/off switch. I used two of these connected in parallelto replace my RV porch light.

It does not internally turn the outlet on or off. However, you should be able to wire the switch and the outlet either way you want the outlet to work.

No because since it controls 3 outlets it works even in other rooms. I have it set to control 2 lamps in the living room and 1 in my bedroom. That way I can carry the remote with me and turn the BR light on and when I get in there I can turn the living room lights off. You will never have to enter or leave a room without light on or turning one off.

No, no switch. Plug in and if need be turn on anything plugged into outlet.

No this is just the lock - need power supply and switch (which could be operated with a remote).

No, it doesn't have an on/off switch but it won't annoy you because it goes into standby mode after one minute of inactivity and will go to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity. To reactivate the remote you simply hold the button down for 4 seconds and it awakens and is ready to go.
