How Outlet Pal Works

Smart Control Without the Apps

Outlet Pal lets you control multiple outlets in your home from a single wall switch without rewiring, Wi-Fi, or smartphone setup. It’s a plug-and-play system designed to make switched outlets work the way you actually want them to.

At its core, Outlet Pal uses a simple Leader and Follower system that wirelessly synchronizes power between plugs. Here’s how it all fits together

The Two Roles: Leader and Follower

Each Outlet Pal device can act as either a Leader or a Follower, and you can change its role anytime using the single button on the front.

  • Leader – The device that connects to your switched outlet. When the wall switch is flipped, the Leader is powered on and tells the Followers to turn on as well.

  • Follower – Any other Outlet Pal plugged into a regular outlet. Followers listen for the Leader’s signal to turn themselves on.

The Leader connects to its Followers using a simple wireless link. When the switch toggles power to the Leader, all Followers respond instantly, turning lamps or other devices on and off in perfect sync.

LED Signals and Button Controls

Outlet Pal communicates everything through one button and one light. There’s no need for a display or app.

Button functions:

  • Double-click: Start pairing mode

  • Triple-click: Switch between Leader and Follower roles

  • Long press: Unpair or reset connections

LED feedback:

  • Leader: Steady light means it’s active and ready

  • Follower (not paired): Light off

  • Follower (pairing): Light blinking

  • Follower (paired): Light pulsing gently

This simple interface ensures setup can be done in seconds without technical know-how.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

  1. Plug in your devices.
    Choose which Outlet Pal will be your Leader and plug it into the outlet controlled by your wall switch. Plug your Follower devices into other outlets around the room where you want synchronized control.

  2. Switch the Leader role.
    By default, every unit starts as a Follower. Triple-click the button on your chosen Leader to change its role. The LED will confirm the switch by staying steadily on.

  3. Pair your Followers.
    On each Follower, double-click the button to enter pairing mode. The light will blink. Then double-click the button on your Leader to link them. Once successful, the Follower’s LED will change to a pulsing glow.

  4. Test your setup.
    Flip your wall switch on and off. All Followers should turn on and off along with your Leader.

Once paired, the system stays connected automatically. You can unplug or move devices anytime, and they’ll remember their roles and pairings when powered back on.
