Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The only reason I'm not giving this product 5 stars is because of the cheapish styling. It has a one-piece rocker switch/plate cover that looks like it could break easily. However, I've had mine for about 2 years so far and it's still intact.
This unit has three channels, so you can have up to three different sets of these in your home. In my living room, I have two sets, both on the same channel, controlling two lamps across the room from each other. Since they're both on the same channel, either transmitter can turn on or off both lights (kind of like three-way switching for multiple lamps).
The rocker switch makes it seem like you'd press up for on and down for off. However, it's just a toggle switch -- there's no difference between up or down.
Leviton makes a more-attractive switch (although they only sell the almond color here on Amazon). It resembles a regular hard-wired rocker switch commonly found in homes. However, it only has two channels (so you could only have two sets of these in your home), and it's VERY tempermental. It will randomly switch off and sometimes constantly switch off -- very annoying.
I would like to see X10 come out with one of these devices, but their controllers resemble remote controls too much. They need one that looks like a regular wall switch. So why X10? First it can handle 256 channels -- not just two or three. Second, it can integrate with your PC for home automation. Third, it costs about the same as one of these other more-basic models.
