Editorial Review:
This technologically advanced wireless electronic remote switch can control virtually everything in your house with just the push of a button. Control lamps, radios, or other electrical devices from up to 100 feet away, even through walls and floors, with this radio frequency wireless remote control. The receiver plugs directly into any three-prong outlet, and provides a remote switched three-prong outlet to allow radio frequency on & off control for a wide variety of electrical devices. The control unit, with keychain, is more than small enough to fit into your pocket, but its signal will work up to 100 feet away from the receiver even from inside your car. The possibilities for the wireless power switch are endless. Use it to power on kitchen appliances. Start your morning coffee brewing before you even head downstairs and have it waiting for you as soon as you reach the breakfast table. It's ideal for those hard-to-reach plug-ins like holiday lights and computer outlets. The kids left the television on and you don't feel like getting out of a comfortable chair to turn it off? Just one handy button and you're in charge. Common Uses: turn lights on and off remotely, never walk into a dark room again, easily investigate a noise in the middle of the night, have the lights in your house on before you even step through the front door, no need to get off the couch, great for holiday lighting, warm up kitchen appliances first thing in the morning! Ideal For: garages, kitchens, basements, businesses, entryways, front doors, backyards, offices, warehouses. Easy Plug & Play Installation: Plug receiver into wall outlet. Plug device to be controlled into receiver. That's it you're done! No wiring necessary!
Very good for those with mobility issues.
We also used it to play a (harmless) prank on a co-worker. She thought her fan was possessed. Hilarity ensued.
I bought two, one indoor and one outdoor. Indoor one works with my living room lamp. i use the outdoor outlet upstairs to control my internet equipment. From down stairs, I am able to turn on/off outlet just fine, even with door closed and through wall. So, i am assuming that the indoor will do the same.
NOTE: sometimes the remote came with the cover screw twisted too tight, causing the remote not to work. just loosen the screw a little and it will work just fine. I want to say that because someone complains about remote didn't work.
I bought two of these switches to use to turn off my Airport Extreme gigabit modem and the original Airport Extreme. It allows me to turn the modems on and off in the motels I stay in frequently without actually going into the motels and bothering the owners. I turn the modems off during the day so they won't burn out in the extremely hot room I had to put them in and it also allows me to turn them off when I'm not there.
However, I never would have known they worked all four batteries were dead. Fortunately the last one had a little life left in it but I don't expect it to last long. Unfortunately the batteries are very expensive. So be aware.

Does JUST what it says it will
This remote control power outlet is PERFECT for those areas in your home where it's inconvenient to manually turn off the appliance, such as lamps, etc.
Very good for those with mobility issues.
We also used it to play a (harmless) prank on a co-worker. She thought her fan was possessed. Hilarity ensued.

works great!
I was skeptical at first because i didn't see any reviews concerning obstructions such as walls and doors.
I bought two, one indoor and one outdoor. Indoor one works with my living room lamp. i use the outdoor outlet upstairs to control my internet equipment. From down stairs, I am able to turn on/off outlet just fine, even with door closed and through wall. So, i am assuming that the indoor will do the same.

Just What I Needed
This remote device works perfectly. I'm disabled and have great difficulty moving around the house. This device is a godsend. 2008-08-02

Partially works
While this product works well with lamps and fans that have knobs that you turn, it only half works with fans or other products that turn on with buttons. For example, I have a fan that you press the button three times to go from low to high to off. The remote will turn it off, but won't turn it back on. Same thing with a button-only air conditioner. However, it does turn my twist-dial fan both on and off. 2008-07-18
