Summary: Works For My Stairwell
Comment: This product comes in two pieces: a wired switch and a battery powered remote switch. I installed the wired portion at the top of a stairwell and the remote about 15' away at the bottom.
At first it didn't work, but after I made sure the antenna was dangling in
The Wallb, it worked fine.
My only complaints:
- the wired switch doesn't fit flush into my small (~50 yrs) old metal electrical box; it sticks out about 1 cm
- compact fluorescent bulbs flicker when the switch is off; I had to change to a bulb
Customer Rating: Summary: Just didn't solve my 'normal' problem
Comment: I bought this product to solve the exact problem it was designed for: Remote switching of a ceiling light fixture. The light fixture is upstairs and I am in need of an additional switch for it at the bottom of the stairs. Why? Because when I turn out all the lights downstairs I can't see. This switch would enable me to turn on the upstairs hallway light before ascending the staircase.
Installation of the remote switch was easy. Installation of the switch with the antenna was not so easy. To do it right you really need to pull the single gang box and drill a hole through the bottom for the antenna wire to feed through. I have a metal gang box so I pulled it and removed a hole tab in the bottom for the wire. Still, it is a pain to feed a thin antenna wire through the hole such that as you reinstall the box the wire continues to feed through the box and hang below the box on the inside of
The Wallb. This step is the most important because if your antenna is not positioned to properly receive transmissions from the remote switch it will not work.
I think I did a good job of this, but who knows? I can't see the wire without tearing out some wall. I have lathe and plaster walls so I am not eager to do this.
My switch doesn't work very well. I do not have line-of-sight from switch to switch. There is some stairway framing obstructing the line-of-sight. The switches are approximately 20 feet apart. The remote switch will reliably turn OFF the upstairs light but only very occasionally will it turn it ON.
In all I was disappointed with this product.
