DaasYochid,
I agree that it’s wrong because it involves melachah; I was still addressing your chilluk between the KosherSwitch and the Kosher Lamp.
So essentially your point (in contrast to mine) is that the only problems with the Shabbos switch are:
1. The act (flipping the switch and the resulting chain of events) itself is forbidden.
2. It could lead to other melachos being performed on Shabbos (e.g., flipping a Shabbos switch to turn on a teapot), whereas a Shabbos lamp has no such issues.
The issues of how it was marketed, or what intentions were behind its development, are irrelevant. Do I understand your position correctly?
