    leviton combination switch/outlet

    I want to change a single pole switch to a combination switch (switch and outlet). There are 2 wires coming into the box (from the light fixture). I'm not picky if the switch controls the outlet or not.

    Steve,
    You need a hot, neutral, and a ground to make the receptacle work, all you have is a switch leg breaking the hot. You can't do what you want to do with the 2 wires you have.
