Product Idea: Outlet

This topic has come up before (Dual in-wall outlet with BOTH outlets controllable), and to a degree this is possible.

Dual independent outlet control isn’t possible under NEC regulations. The best we can hope for would be a single controllable outlet, and monitoring of both plugs.

Surge protection didn’t come up, which would make sense. If you have a 1600 joule unit, and it take 2x 800 joule surges you would need to replace it. Installing a whole house surge protector is likely a better option. Please let me know if I am understanding this incorrectly.
