Does the remote work out of sight of the outlets? Does it work through walls?

I haven't tried it through walls but it does work behind cabinets, behind a couch and in a media center.

The remote works whether you can see the outlet or not. I have mine behind my sectional sofa. I was unable to get to easily reach the light in the corner behind the sofa. I used this to plug my lamp into. It works perfectly. I can turn the light on and off using the remote. As far as working through walls, it does in my house. I went as far as the guest room about 25-30 ft away, closed the door and was able to turn the light on and off. I use the other outlet plug ins for my Christmas tree and lights. They make life so easy. You won't regret them. Hope this helps.

Yes. There is 5 numbers on the hand held. I LOVE THIS product..and would get another one..I can turn on lights or off in a bedroom without leaving my chair.. and very easy to use.. so if you have a lamp plug in on # 3..just hit 3 on your handheld remote and it goes off or hit it again and turn it off. I give this product a 12.. it's that's good... can even put one in your bathroom..so when have to go to the bathroom..you can hit that # and not wake up others..or put it in your child's room... and get them 10 mins...then you just click it off.. awesome.... you will not go wrong with this..

No it does not, you need the USB module or the more expensive houselinc system. This is not a remote controllable type outlet.

Yes it will go through a wall depending on how dense the wall is. I tested transmitting it from my office to the living room on the TV actually mounted in the other side of the wall and it worked fine. The only issue I ran into is my wireless keyboard wouldn't transmit through the wall.

Hello, The remotes will work work through floors, doors, and walls. If you have two sets they will work independently of one another as they are on different frequencies. However, with one set you can have 5 outlets in 5 separate rooms. Each button on the remote will correspond to only one outlet. We hope this answers your question. If not, feel free to elaborate a little so we can help you understand everything about the item. Thanks! -Etekcity

it will works through a thin wall if the remote is very close to the sensor

I am not sure about a wall, but we had it in the carport and kept the remote in the livingroom. There was a wall between them, but also two large windows with blinds and it worked well.

I mounted mine to the wall, but it can be used like a remote, so long as you are in range.FYI It looks just like a regular toggle switch, though the contact is not great and doesn't switch on/off everytime.

It's not ir and does go through the wall in our office. We have had no problems with it and are quite happy. You can see (in the picture) the receiver has an antenna.

it doesn't work through walls, the range depends on how good the batteries are works good between 8 to 10ft

Yes it does. I installed mine last month and it works great. I chose the wall control instead of the remoteso I cannot say how well the remote works.

My receivers work from behind a half-wall, so I'm guessing they would probably work from behind a couch. Of course, it's difficult to know for sure unless you try it. In my situation, I have a half-wall separating the kitchen and living room. The receiver is plugged into an outlet on the north side of the wall, facing away from the remote. I use the remote from the south side (i.e. the opposite side) of the wall, pointing it through the half-wall and toward the back side of the receiver. It works for me. I have another receiver (set to the same "channel") across the room and behind an end table. I use the remote from the same location and both outlets turn on simultaneously. Hopefully you will have similar results.

My remote us not wired into the wall. I have it so I can use like a TV remote. Hope this answer your question. The fan is beautiful.

You can wire the remote to any circuit, and it will work as long as it is in range of the reciever. Wiring the control to a wall circuit simply eliminates the need for batteries. it truely is wireless, but keep in mind that you have to be within range.

I believe it does work thru walls and ceilings. We are very happy with the results....

Should keep working from both places provided it uses the two wires. I think the remote will keep the sequence of start/stop/go-again with each button press, but the wall should keep it's three phase action. Try it -- no danger seeing what will happen.

I have mine behind the couch lighting up the wall behind it. The receiver is hidden and I have never had a problem turning it on from across the room.
