Have any of you used all these 3 outlets in one room? I wish there were 3 outlets and 3 remotes. If I have to walk around carrying the remote wherever the outlet is installed, what is the purpose of the remote?I bought a similar product at Menards for $9.99 to use in the bedroom to switch off the lamp.

I purchased two units because I wanted two remotes to control the same outlets. The second one I ordered the remote didn't control the outlets of the first one. Is there anyway that I could get another remote that will control the outlets from the first order that I placed?

Excellent question, H. McCalla. I was just logging in to purchase my second set and had not considered this. Thanks for thinking of it and asking. Will be interesting to see if anyone knows.

All you have to do is plug in power switch to wall outlet, plug in desired item to power switch, make sure that ON button is pressed on power switch, make sure that item itself turned on and then use remote by pressing the corresponding button (1, 2 or 3). I will check to see if I still have the actual instructions to check if I missed anything. ***8/5/13: Sorry --- did not find instructions. I hope you were able to get your devices going. :)

I tried to use the ones I have ( 3 splitters ) not one of them worked. I have an older splitter has three selectable outlets different make will continue with that one .Did not try them until recently. I had no success I they NOT WORK! would not recommend the splitter. I have had them for a while before I tried them cannot ask amazon for help. My mistake for not using them when they were received.

Hi Gary, I returned this switch since I could not get it to operate with my same branded garage door opener. I then bought a better model that came with a keychain remote and it does not work with my openers either. I just settled on having a keychain remote doing my lights. I hope this helps. On a side note. Ever peel an orange and get that gunk under your nails? I put a product on amazon that solves this among other things. search the word "fewlah" if you like to see it. Thanks Rob

most likely it will NOT work - our electrician (the one we had to hire when we could not get either of the 2 remotes offered on Amazon to work) asked me, "Where is the 'brains' that came with these two remotes?" Yes, you can set the small switches inside the remote to match the programming of the fan, but you need the small computerized inside works for these remotes to make them "talk" to or operate the fan or the lights. He told me to go to Home Depot to get the "universal" fan remote control - apparently it has everything it needs so you can set it to match the programming of your fan - meaning, it WILL work.

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.

In my experience they do not work well together. I tried using two of them, but it didn't matter which remote I was using at the time, it turned the light/appliance on and off that was connected to the other remote. Perhaps I had two matched sets, but others may have different circuitry. Give it a try and return one set if it doesn't work the way you want.

This is switch cannot replace an existing three way one. I haven't looked into remote switches since I bought this one, but if you're looking for a remote switch who's receiver can replace one switch in a three way pair to add a third (remote transmitter) switch, their may be other options. Also, this switch will not work with CFLs since a small amount of power flows through the bulb, so you'd have to use incandescent types.

It works, but only as a single device- not four different individually switchable outlets. Looks like the SmartThings team is working to implement full functionality, but ? date for availability. Looks like some of the power users in the SmartThings community may have a workaround if you have time and inclination to pursue that. Good Luck.

When you buy the 3 light puck kit, it comes with a power hub that you plug each of the puck lights into (it accepts up to 6 lights in total). The hub then plugs into a power converter that also has a dimmer on it, & the converter then plugs into any standard outlet. There is not a wireless remote--only a small rocker switch on the converter. The light output is good for an under cabinet installation, but the wires on all the pucks may be too short for some applications. You may want to read some of the other comments to determine whether this system will work for you.

Each set will need a master and a companion (if using a multi-location, 3way). You can use the same remote for each set but they will both pick up the signal if you're putting the switches near each other. So, if that isn't y our intention, you might want to rethink. I have my LR and Kitchen on different walls to avoid this, but use one remote to control each separately.

Yes. Once you plug the numbered, remote receptacle into the wall, the POWER LED will light indicating power is available. If you wish to press the ON button on this numbered, remote receptacle, then power will flow through the receptacle and into your device. Also, once you manually press the ON button, the REMOTE LED will light up further indicating power to your device. The remote will continue to work even if you turned the receptacle on manually. You can manual ON then remote OFF or vice versa. Phil.

The new style has an different design. It is not merely a new look, the design is less bulky to provide more room for the bottom plug of an outlet. Also, there are 2 models of the new style. One is just like the old style, and one has a self-learning function. This self learning function allows you to create any kind of combination with the remotes and outlets. You can program any button on the remote to any outlet or multiple outlets. You can also buy additional remotes and outlets to add to and customize the set.

The remote light switch is designed for use with specific remote units. I bought the wrong one initially and had to go to the manufacturer to find out which unit(s) would work. Give them a call with details about the remote unit you already have - they were very helpful. This switch and remote have performed without trouble for the past year. The only "problem" is that the switch is quite deep and may not fit flush in all boxes.

I have never had that situation.. But, the units work off regular 110V. outlets that are "hot". If the units are energized, the remote will work, weather from your car or inside your house.

If I understand you correctly, you have a switch that turns off both outlets, and you want to have one always on... You would need to rewire the outlet so one side is constant power, and the other is operated by the switch (otherwise when the switch is turned off both legs of the outlet will have no power). Now what you could do once you have constant power to the switch is have the switch operate the non controlled side of the outlet, and have the other outlet be controlled via a Insteon hub.
