I know my problems have just begun. That is an awesome idea! I wish these were a little cheaper. Bart’sDad Says:

That way if there are multiple switched outlets in a room you still can use the other ones. If the neutral is split too you might have to repeat this for the neutral leg Sometimes spending $10 is less of a pain in the butt, plus this way it's easily reversible.
