The switch worked ok, but something in our area kept tripping it. We ended up having to get a custom switch wired in instead. We were trying to use it to help staff in our office to reset our internet router when things werent working. The router is locked in a phone room, so we figured we could get this wireless remote.However, once installed, it just kept turning itself on and off.
I bought a few of these remotes for Christmas. It ended in the garbage.This shows "lack of quality control". ( 3 or 4)All of them, but one, worked. Since it was a very busy season, I didn't have the time to send it back.
Now when I know its going to be very cold I shut it down from the kitchen window rather than go out in the cold and pull the plug. I use it to turn off a small pump that pumps water out of rain barrel to a series of bamboo pipes that are split with water running from pump and back to barrel for a constant water feature for the local birds. Works every time with one push of button and inside home aiming out the window to the switch which is 45 feet and around side of the wood shed. I did leave it run 24 hours but decided the birds sleep so why run it. I have ordered two more of them, another A channel and a B channel,I have a bird bath that has a pump in it too on the way to the fore mentioned pump so will not use the 24 hr timer I bought for that and put the A channel so both will be turned on with one remote. Also when it freezes I lose all the water in the 55 gal barrel which ends up as beautiful ice sculpture but then when thaws the birds have no water.
You dont' have to hire contrator to do wiring anymore because of this clever design. There is not enough lighting in my garage. This device enable you to control the lights in wireless remote control. Need to consider the circuit overload problem and make sure the electric device you want to control is within specified limit. I use it to control fluorescence light, and it works out beautifully.
I purchased this so I could turn off Christmas inflatable decorations on windy days and still leave the other decorations lit. We did often need to hit the remote repeatedly to get it to turn on, but I'll attribute that to being under the decoration instead of mounted. I could not mount it so it was placed on the ground under the inflatable in a ziplock baggie. We had no moisture problems.
