How do you reset the RCD without the stressful walking?
I have that exact Kewtech model. As @telectrix says, great for a quick check and tripping RCDs remotely.
I've found issues with it when identifying which sockets are connected to which circuit, turn one off, run round plug it in.... oooh... this is not the socket you're looking for but there is no earth on it... lets investigate that as a matter of urgency.
My Mrs Jones can't reach the CU so that's that buggered right away SCEnsure the customer has asked you if you want a cuppa before you turn the power off, but refuse at the first instance. They normally tell you to give 'em a shout when you want one.
"Mrs. Jones... I'd love that cuppa now please... you might have to turn the power back on though"
that's why we have RCDs. plug in a hoover N-E swap detector. RCD trips, then as long as said hoover does not have an inherent fault, you have a N-E reversal. ( henrys will perfom just as well, but i used hoover as an example as almost everbody refers to any make of vacuum cleaner as a hoover. .).Problem with these plug in devices is they can't detect a neutral / earth swap which is very dangerous
Good point, I usually say if you were wanting to boil your kettle now would be good cause I'll need to turn off the power soon. "Oh, would you like a cuppa ?" Thanks very much!Ensure the customer has asked you if you want a cuppa before you turn the power off, but refuse at the first instance. They normally tell you to give 'em a shout when you want one.

Mmmmm you're assuming that every installation has RCD protectionthat's why we have RCDs. plug in a hoover N-E swap detector.
