wall outlet with USB charge Discussion Threadwall outlet with USB charge Electrical Advice
Hi,
Purchased a wall outlet that has charging ports for usb. Issue now is the place where I want to put this new outlet also had an off/on control with a wall switch so three wires going now in the outlet box. New outlet only has two wires and a ground. I really do not need this location for a off/on plug to turn on a lamp or anything so can I still use the new outlet I bought (pictured) and just block off or not connect the line to the wall turn on switch? Or do you know of an outlet I can buy that has usb charging capability as well as a wiring scheme that allows me to connect all three lines to also use the off/on wall switch for a lamp I might plug in for future use.
Thanks for any help.
