I've gone around with an outlet tester checking both of the sockets on all of the outlets nearby and some not so near by, and they're all always powered up, regardless of the position of the switch.

Would one of my fellow Iris/Lily owners please let me know what this mystery switch controls in your home?
It’s very confusing. In my house the switch controls one of the outlets in the floor, as previously said. But be aware that there is a switch below the thermostat near the bedroom that also controls that outlet. Both switches have control, so you have to be sure they’re both on, or at least check to be sure one is not off. I think you know what I mean. Good luck!

I think my under counter kitchen lights (installed after the build) were connected to this switch.

I live in lily and the floor plan is little different. The switch might be for the floor outlet in living room.

Outlets can be 'split' meaning one is switched and the one attached to it is not. While not common elsewhere it is common for floor mounted outlets in TV.

It controls the plug over the kitchen cabinets.

The Iris and the Lilac are paired floor plans, not the Lily.
I think he meant basically the same layout.

Yes, the Iris and the Lilac have basically the same layout, the Lily is different.

Look for the outlet cover with the RED screw that's the switched outlet!
