Cheap Wireless Appliance Remote Control Lamp Light Switch

Customer Ratings:

The package I ordered from Amazon looks like the illustration except that the main unit has DSI shown on the face. I have had several frustrations with this item. It was necessary to click the remote unit several times before the receiver would turn on the light. Thinking that was caused by the surge suppresser it was plugged into, I plugged it directly into the wall AC-DC. Same behavior. Thinking it was delivered with a weak battery, I replaced that too. No improvement.

The remote and the sensor are in the same room but divided by a wall. The signal does not require flowing thru a wall or door. I have another unit that I bought several years ago which, by the way is much smaller, and that works beautifully with just one press of the remote.

No more DSI products for me.

I bought this product so that I would be able to turn off my sound amplifier from the opposite side of my 2-story house. I play music using a Sonos system controlled wirelessly by an iPod Touch. At the end of the day, when I'm upstairs and it's time to retire, I can turn the Sonos system off wirelessly, but the amplifier that the Sonos is connected to will stay on all night, drawing a lot of electricity. I now keep the remote control for this gizmo at my bedside. When I want to turn off the amplifier, I simply push the button on the remote. It works instantly and perfectly every time through all the walls and floors that separate my second-story bedroom from the amplifier on the first floor.

I wish I could say that I can also turn the amplifier back on using this gizmo, but unfortunately my Harmon Karmon amplifier doesn't work that way. Pushing the button on the remote control for this controller just puts the amplifier back into standby mode, and I then need to either use the Harmon Karmon remote or press a button on the amplifier to turn the amplifier back on. Also, in order to avoid having to carry the remote for this controller back downstairs again the next morning, I had to plug the mother unit for this device into a plug where it's easily accessible (not hidden behind the entertainment cabinet), so that I can press a button on the mother unit itself to turn the power back on the next day.

The base unit is in a cabinet over the stove. I went outside onto the patio at the other end of the house clicked it and the lights came on.

I wanted this to reboot (turn off, then turn back on) my cable modem from the first floor. The modem is in the basement. It won't do it. It does it if I go down into the basement and come within a few feet of the switch.
