The Clapper is a device that is activated by sound sensory. The Clapper itself is plugged into an outlet in your wall. When activated by the sound of your clapping, it will control up to two appliances and then turn them on or off, depending on the number of times you clap. The Clapper is a sound-activated on and off switch for appliances. When in the Home mode, the Clapper can operate either one or two appliances by clapping two times to activate the first appliance and three times to activate the second. When in the Away mode, the Clapper can be used as a limited function security device that will turn on appliances at the first noise it picks up, to discourage potential intruders.
