• I've already seen that video but I didn't see any of those yellow labels on the ones Dave had.
  
  In the dumpster the white plugs and sockets seem to have the matching cables.

  If they opened up all those boxes to take something out then they left an awful lot of cable behind.

  Likely its just some customers label they put on so staff don't unplug these power monitor/saving switches: https://www.plugwise.com/documents/plugwise/product_documents/EN-sting-ts.pdf (from jon on youtube)

• Dave, the word you were looking for...
