Thanks for all the information on the switched outlets. Just wanted to note that the Quantum tech will not do anything with your electric so if you want to modify the outlet above the kitchen cabinets you will need an electician or DIY as everyone has mentioned.

One person I know had the Quantum tech install the WiFi pod above the kitchen cabinets using the switched outlet then after the install had an electrician come and modify the outlet. Of course, you could do the reverse procedure as well.
