I started with the sutdown plugin which does work for a single socket.
But there is a total of eight sockets. So a single menueitem would not
be sufficient.
Also I would like to assign some special remote control keys (Lets say
SAT 1..8) to toggle switch the sockets. 

Can this be done with the "shutdown plugin"?

I'll have a look at kaa.display and come back on this.
