Product Description
Bye Bye Standby is a brand new energy saving solution designed to reduce the daily energy consumption of electrical devices. Bye Bye Standby works by completely cutting power to the devices plugged into it when they're not in use, thus saving the power that these devices would otherwise have consumed in Standby Mode. Bye Bye Standby is a new way to save energy, carbon emissions and money.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Bye Bye Standby Energy Saving Kit is a completely new way to reduce the energy consumed by electric devices in your home or office. Plug your computer, printer, or stereo into a Bye Bye Standby adapter and instantly save money on your electric bill. These smart devices will completely cut power to your gadgets when they are not in use, and you don't have to unplug anything! There's even a handy remote with a coding system that allows you to control multiple Bye Bye Standby modules. This kit includes two wall adapter sockets and a remote control.

Bye Bye Standby offers:
  • Elimination of phantom power to help save money.
  • Included remote control that controls up to three zones.
  • A one-year warranty.


A handy coding system allows one remote to control multiple outlets. View larger.

Get Control of Your Gadgets
Bye Bye Standby is the perfect accessory for all of your appliances that have standby modes, such as your TV, printer, or wireless router. When you're out on the town or asleep in bed, your appliances are sucking energy--even though they are not turned on. With Bye Bye Standby, you can put an end to this needless energy waste. Just press a single button on the included remote control to disconnect your stereo or other device from anywhere in the room--no more crawling around under desks and behind entertainment centers to unplug your electronics. Press the button again and reconnect your appliances in a snap.

Bye Bye Standby adapters connect between a wall socket and an electrical device. You can use a Bye Bye Standby three-plug socket adapter to control an entire power strip's worth of devices, or you can control devices individually using separate adapters.

Easy Installation
Installing a Bye Bye Standby wall adapter is a cinch, just plug and play! First, set the dial on the back of the module to the code of your choice; this code will correspond to a four-position switch on the included remote control. Next, insert the socket adapter into your home or office outlet and plug in your devices. It's that easy!

Bye Bye Standby socket adapters should only be used indoors, away from rain or humidity. Do not connect electrical devices with heating elements, such as microwaves or space heaters, to the adapters.

Save Money on Your Energy Bills
Computers, routers, and other electronic devices draw power even when in standby mode, so the meter on your electric bill is almost always running. Recent studies show that in the average household, leakage from standby power accounts for 15 percent of energy consumption. By plugging your gear into a Bye Bye Standby socket, you have the ability to completely shut off power to these devices, thereby eliminating wasted electricity and wasted money.

Reduce Carbon Emissions
By using the Bye Bye Standby, you'll be doing your part to reduce the large amount of CO2-equivalent emissions that are attributed to electrical devices left in standby mode. It is estimated that the power used by Americans releases roughly the same amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as 3.7 million cars! Use Bye Bye Standby and do your part to protect the environment.

The Bye Bye Standby Energy Saving Kit is covered by a one-year limited warranty.

What's in the Box
Two Bye Bye Standby socket adapters, one remote control.



A single press of a button on the remote puts an end to needless energy waste.

4 out of 5 stars Works like a charm   November 19, 2009
Roger Kitzmiller (Charlotte, NC USA)
I like the product a lot. The remote is very small, which is nice. The receiver gives off a slick clicking sounds when it switches. Delivery was prompt, price was what I was willing to pay.


3 out of 5 stars how far can this remote control?   November 17, 2009

I am going to buy one set as remote control, not to save power. One important question for current users - how far away can this remote work? Thanks in advance!

One user mentioned she used this to save $5-6/mo for a printer, that's 50-60 KwH per month for a printer on standby. Is it possible?



4 out of 5 stars Room for improvement   November 12, 2009

1. Reviewer Ken clarified that these BBSB remotes use the 2032 Lithium battery.
Could someone please post when you've had to change it (i.e. how long it lasted)? If these could use regular AA (perhaps eneloops) that would have been perfect!

Another BBSB-like model, at a similar price point for 3 outlets, the "BH9936-3" (try google) uses a 12-volt battery Model 23A, and that turned me off, since I have no other devices using 23A batteries.

2. What is the maximal Amperage and wattage rating on these units?

David Higgins' review (Oct 1009) mentions that the BBSB outlet uses 3 watts by itself, even when "off". I like the concept and the pricing but, clearly, there is room for improvement in the product.

Works exactly as described. I found myself using this item at first, less and less as time passed. Now i just stopped using it after all.

Maybe you should look at the energy conservation power strips that cut power to outlets if the main device is not being used.
