What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
The Enabler Socket+ is a radio-frequency smart plug that lets users turn standard electrical devices on and off — things like lamps, fans, or radios — without physically reaching the outlet or pressing a button directly on the device. It's designed for people who have limited hand or arm movement and can activate a switch or USB control device instead. You connect it to the Control USB hub or plug in a standard 3.5mm switch, then choose one of three control modes: a simple on/off toggle, a latched mode (press once to turn on, press again to turn off), or a timed mode that runs the device for a set duration. This is a piece of a larger environmental control system — you'll need either Inclusive Technology's Control USB or a separate switch and compatible controller to operate it, and the plug itself only comes in UK format, so check your outlet type before ordering.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Plug the Enabler Socket+ into a UK mains outlet and plug your target device (lamp, fan, etc.) into the Socket+. - With a guide
- Connect a 3.5mm switch or the Control USB to the Socket+ and select your preferred mode (on/off, latched, or timed) using the mode button.
- If chaining multiple units, pair up to 16 Socket+ units to a single Control USB following the pairing sequence in the manual — allow 15–30 minutes for a multi-unit setup.
- See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
- An occupational therapist (OT) or assistive technology professional (ATP) can assess the best switch type, placement, and control mode for the user's physical abilities and daily routines.
- Integration into a broader environmental control or AAC system (e.g., linking to a switch interface or communication device) typically requires 1–2 sessions with an AT specialist.
