I recently moved into an older house. There is a light switch by the
front door that doesn't seem to do anything. All the light fixtures
inside and outside have good bulbs in them and switch on and off.
Why would there be a switch by the door with no light?
TIA
Anna

It may switch one half of a duplex outlet so that when you come in you can
turn on a lamp plugged into that outlet.

Might switch a wall outlet on the other side of the room. I've seen that.

It may work an outlet into which it is intended that a lamp be
plugged.

Is there a ceiling fixture in that room? I have one rental that has a false
ceiling in it and when they re-did it, they didn't bother to put the ceiling
fixture back in the room. HA HA, they just left the dam thing laying on
top the new sheetrock... Found it when i rewired.
