Twist lock receptacles for generators
A twist lock receptacle is an outlet that requires a plug to be twisted into it in order for it to stay in place. Unlike a regular wall receptacle that requires you to push the plug into the socket holes to make a connection, twist lock receptacles utilize a twisting method with a plug to establish a connection.
Some items that uses this type of receptacles are: Medical equipment, Power poles, Pool pumps, Generators, Computer equipment and Heavy industrial/commercial equipment.

Switched receptacles
A switched receptacle allows you to control one outlet with a switch while the other remains hot. Example: a lamp plugged into the switched outlet can be turned on as you enter a room while another plugged item is in use. Another use for a switched receptacle would be christmas or soffit receptacles, where you wish to have control without having to unplug and replug strings of lights constantly.

Smart receptacles
A smart outlet is a power receptacle that plugs into a traditional electrical outlet and integrates it into your smart home network. It allows you to control whatever is plugged into it using an app installed on your smartphone or with your voice through a virtual assistant. This is a great technology still in its infancy and can help you accomplish simple tasks like turning on and off lighting remotely, or other devices.
