Regarding Using the Switch on Shabbos
Regarding the Shabbos Switch, it is obviously clear that an action in a device which results in melochos, in whatever fashion it operates, is performing meleches machsheves.
The manufacturers and distributors of such devices for Shabbos and Yom Tov usage, and those who aid and abet them in any form even for use in hospitals, are leading the public to transgressions punishable by skillah and koreis and uprooting of religion, and they should be concerned for their own souls.
