Wireless Remote Control Receiver Fob with Plug-In Receiver by Westek - Control Indoor Devices Wirelessly - Ideal For Lamps, Stereos and Household Appliances - Signal Works Up To 100 Feet Away

Works well with our electric heater

Bought 2. One for a Samsung TV because whenever we get an update it lose connection to our surveillance cameras PC. Now instead of getting up and reaching the TV plug to disconnect and reconnect it so it will search for the PC we just hit the buttons on the remote. The other is for the outside light on my shop so I may turn it on from the house 120 feet away. Unfortunately the wonderful motion detector on the led fixture at times won't shut the darn thing off.

Because I have a history of falls having proper light is very important. I use this system to turn on a bedside light when I enter my dark bedroom at night. I keep the remote attached to my walker, so it is as convenient as a wall switch. Possibly it is more convenient because once I am in bed, I can simply turn out the light using the remote. Otherwise, I would need to use the wall switch, adding steps and increasing risk of falls. It was such an easy setup I was able to do it myself.

This relay responds to the remote control from a considerable distance if there are no obstructions between the two. Does pickup through walls too. I have the relay plugged into an exterior receptacle for lighting and I turn the lights on and off from inside the house all the time. As far as distance outside, it seems to respond well up to about 75'

The remote control can work with three matching indoor power outlets, but you need to manually configure the switch at the back of the remote control to switch from one outlet to another. Since I mainly use this remote control for one light control most of the times, this does not present a big issue. If you buy this kit and expect to switch multiple outlets all the times, look for one that is easier to use.

We needed a light in a closet and the maintenance repair man said he would have to rip open the wall and run electrical lines out to the outer wall to put a switch to flip the light on and off. There was an outlet in the closet, so I bought an electrical light and this device. I plugged the device into the outlet, the light into the device, and hung a hook to place the remote in since it has a keychain attached to it. So, when anyone goes into the closet, we reach for the remote and flip the light on and when done, flip it off. It is the best!

The remote control was not functioning on the previous one several years ago. So I bought the second one as a replacement for my 93-year old mom. It is still simple and easy to use with the remote On and Off buttons. Maybe even simpler, it can be just one button toggling on and off.

I just bought 2 units and plugged one receiver into outlet, light into receiver and pushed transmitter button on...nothing happened. Checked manual operation via switch on receiver, worked fine and light turned on. So i had to read manual. It mentioned pairing, pairing was done at the factory before shipping. Ok, i thought, somehow it unpaired during shipping. Following instructions i attempted pairing 3-4 times. It never paired. Same happened on both units. Conclusion...whole batch of defective devices made by Westek and obviously no quality control. Have similar devices by Woods company still working after 3 years, no pairing ever needed
