Controlling plug sockets room by room

[Neil2021]

Hi

Would really appreciate some advice on this as I have pretty limited electrical knowledge

I live in a fairly new build home with 3 floors and the fuse box can either turn off all the plug sockets on the ground floor or turn off all the plug sockets on the 2nd and 3rd floor in every room

I basically want to be able to switch off sockets or power room by room, basically so I can turn the kids electric off at night to stop them staying up half the night ? without it affecting the other rooms

I've used WiFi plugs (not sockets) but these can be easily overridden or just unplugged, so not much use

What would be the easiest and cheapest way to do this, would it require any kind of rewiring or a new fuse box or circuit breaker?, I have looked at WiFi sockets but most of these can still be switched on and off manually, I did find a lightwave socket that can be controlled by RF and has a child lock but this would need installation and don't know how reliable these would be

Thanks in advance

I don’t need to do this now, cos my daughter is now a lot older.
But we used to be able to restrict WIFI access through admin access on the router. You could set a time schedule by device MAC address.
Note: if your kids are tech savvy they could get software to change/spoof their MAC address…

Perhaps your router has this feature? There are other parent control devices out there too. Like the Circle zHome Plus (note: beware of the monthly subscription!)

Yeah I already set that up so the WiFi goes off but he can use his phone data and tether the connection to get back online and his dad has the phone contract for him, so not a lot I can do about that one neither

I never had a thought anywhere near thinking of punching my fathers lights out, nothing to do with hormones more to do with a mental attitude and respect for your parents.

It was a rhetorical remark. I don’t think of myself as being perfect though; like some here.
