Answer:
Manuel,
A smart switch can be installed to control the exterior outlet addressed in the question (for a holiday lighting outlet in the soffit). Required switch-controlled lighting outlets are addressed in Section 210.70. Often an electronic control device (smart switch) is equipped with a manual over ride capability.
