 Good unit. October 4, 2007
Ordered two of these from Amazon. Figured I may find a couple of uses for them. However, they are all on the same frequency. No way to change.
So, if you have two applications within 100-150' of each other, one will turn the other on and vice-versa.
No big deal as now I have one unit driving my alarm with two transmitters.
Another quirk I want to share with you is that the receiver (big box), must be mounted vertically on a wall with the mains jack (what you'll plug your device into) pointed down! So, I guess that means you cannot leave it laying on the floor (?).
My only guess for this requirement is that there is a mercury-whetted relay inside that needs the mercury at a certain point. Cannot hazard a guess of what may happen if mounted other than their requirements (?)
This would be a good thing for the mfg. to touch upon in their blog above.
Otherwise, good unit and a good value.
 Works perfectly September 13, 2007
I got this for Christmas last year and haven't had to replace the battery yet. I use it to switch my bedroom lamp on a high shelf since my apartment was improperly wired - none of the wall switches actually do anything. It works from the parking lot probably because it's on a frequency that doesn't have much other use (according to the FCC's website). The receiver box doesn't require line of sight or even height, like most wireless devices. I have it wedged inbetween a dresser and the wall and it is touching the floor.
If you can find one still in stock somewhere and need it for a single device, buy it. You won't be disappointed.

This thing works great. No problems connecting, worked out of the box and has good range. The price is right, too.

I am very happy with my purchase of the wireless remote it makes turning on my fountain much more convenient, before I had to climb up on the planter and crawl behind and plug it in. I am 66 year old female and I was concerned about me falling and lying there for hours before anyone found me.

Outstanding product. I bought several after trying the one. I wish they would sell units which worked on different frequencies.
