Mystery switch
I have a switch that is a mystery. I have confirmed that it is live, checked each plug outlet with the switch in both positions, and nothing.
The switch has red and black wires.

Thanks for the replies guys, the switches in the living room to the side of the fireplace in the middle of the room. Please see the attached pictures


I have opened up the fireplace mantel to confirm that there are no Outlets hidden in there and there are none. There is no track lighting nor exhaust fan for fireplace that the switch might be associated to, the switch in discussion is the upper switch left of the fireplace

The ignitor is the switch on the left hand side of the fireplace, I should have mentioned that! It is a gas fireplace, I thought maybe a circulating fan switch, but there is no fan. Super odd.

Your picture of the switch box wasn't clear enough to see clearly. Was there a 3-conductor cable and a two conductor cable in the box? Are there more cables then that? Are there white wires connected together? If so how may?
