ofcourse electricity gives you shock.

V funny, but not helpful I'm afraid!
I've found a company called "Airconomy", does anyone know them or had them round?

Can you be more specific about these 'switch off device gadget things'. What does it actually do?

[Olivia Ann]

Sorry, being a bit girly with my technical descriptions! It's either a key fob or card key that when your guests leave your apartment they can't leave the air-con going.
Got a website
www.air-con-omy.com
Opinions would be very welcome, not very good with techy stuff!
Thanks

Ok now I get it. If they want the air con on while away, they can still remove the key from the holder and stick it in the slot. I would think the best way would be a coin operated pay meter for the air con. For the ones you are talking about, try and ask any electrical engineers supply store and they will be able to help.

but just make sure the engineers dont have a spare key!

it's worthless.
if they are not idiots, they can still cost you a fortune and you will lose money for the device too.
it's just a 2 minutes time to make the aircondition work 24h per day even with the keyfob device installed.
all they need is a screwdriver to remove the device's face and connect the 2 cables together.
it works exactly the same way as a light on/off switch but instead of a button there is a fob.
Look at the diagram below. (ok I know. I am a horrible painter) The green cable is cut and when we press the switch button it's connected so the electricity can pass through the cables and switch on the lamp.
if we open it and connect the two ends of the green cable the electricity will be switched on for ever.
In other words your guests can unscrew your device, connect one cable in just a few seconds. I would have never given 229 euros for such a cheap useless piece of crap. it doesn't even worth more than 15 euros + a few euros for installation
