Good idea.  I've been considering the same potential problem in my home.  We
have a number of lamp outlets for lamps which I'd like to control with Z-Wave
dimmers.  The problem is the maid might use them for the vacuum.  I have a
solution that will work for me at least.  I will bring back a few plugs and
outlets this winter when I come back from Brazil.  They use the same spacing
but instead of spades they use round posts.  I'll swap out the outlets and the
plugs on the lamps so they and they only will fit in the dimmed outlets.
Unfortunately, there's no way to split a duplex outlet and leave one side
(non-dimmed) Edison style and the other (dimmed) Brazilian.
