Title: Reliable performance at a great price
Review: I have ordered these switches for 3 different installations and have been completely satisfied with their performance. Simple install for those with basic electrical knowledge. Range of the remote switch seems good, though I’ve not installed it any further than 10 feet away from the switching module. Though the remote control is somewhat thicker than a standard wall switch plate, the overall appearance when mounted to the wall is not too intrusive and blends in decently with other electrical switches and outlets.

Title: Experienced electrician or handy man required
Review: I bought this because my flood light is hardwired to the house and there is no switch. After installing this i can turn my flood lights on and off anytime!

Title: Easy installation
Review: I was able to fix the light in my room, as I had a fan, but I had no switch. To turn it off.

Title: Works well so far, mounting could be better
Review: It is so great that technology allows the placement of a light switch that does not require running wires to the switch, and for a very low price. This is my second install of one of these remote switches to this same light, the first having failed after a week (different brand, who was going to get a negative review until I realized while installing this one that I had made a wiring error the first go round).What I appreciate about the Dewenwils wireless switch kit is the size of the receiver. I needed it to fit within a Wiremold junction box (4th picture), which is quite shallow. The first kit I used had a little bit larger receiver and it was a bear getting it to fit. The other thing I appreciate is that the wiring is super straight forward. Two input wires, labeled on the device as such, and two output wires, also labeled. Very easy to hook up. The switch works well. (Or, worked well. See below.)The switch gets mounted to the wall and at quick glance looks like a standard light switch. On closer inspection, you can see that the switch is a bit fatter than a normal wall-mounted light switch, because it holds the electronics (see photo 3). The kit also comes with a mounting plate that gets fastened to the wall. The switch box has little pegs that slide into receiving cradles on the mounting plate. The Dewenwils kit has three pegs and cradles and the first kit I used has four. See photos 1 (Dewenwils) and 2 (from the old kit). Each mounting plate has screw holes for attaching to the wall.Notice in photo 2 that, in addition to the 4 pegs, there are a total of 5 holes, including the large ones at the top and bottom center. These are placed deliberately so the mounting plate can be screwed to an existing junction box. In photo 1 (Dewenwils), the mounting plate only has two little holes, on in the upper corner and another in the opposite lower corner. I was so pleased the first time I installed the remote switch (the one I fried) when I discovered that it attached so smoothly to my existing junction box. It just happened that I had a junction box in the perfect spot to mount the switch. It was so perfect! No longer would I have a blank cover plate on my wall, instead I’d have a switch that controlled the ceiling light, and oh so conveniently, the new switch attached just like screwing on a new cover plate.Well, and here’s my complaint, the Dewenwils does not have the same aligned holes and therefore it became very complicated to mount. What a silly oversight. For me, the only location that really worked to place the light switch was over the existing junction box, but without the properly aligned holes, there was no way to get it to attach. It would have looked stupid to have this switch right next to a covered junction box, or right above it or below it, or awkwardly on some other wall. I thought to maybe attach the switch to the junction box cover with command strips, but that was going to look ridiculous. Such a simple thing as a couple of mounting holes was missing and I would have returned the item if I hadn’t already gotten it all wired and functioning. This oversight on the manufacturer’s part cost them a star.Fortunately for me, I was able to disassemble both switch boxes and swap the electronics from one box to the other. The innards are exactly the same and this was easy to do once I liberated a couple of screws. So now I have the new receiver in my light fixture that is communicating with the old switch and it is nicely mounted right where I want it to be, over the unused junction box on the wall. It is unfortunate that I had to do this, because the switch design isn’t as good as that of Dewenwils, but I’m happy enough with the work around. If I knew about the mounting plate issue before I ordered it, I would have kept looking.

Title: Did not work.
Review: I bought this item because I could not get a wire from the lights to where I wanted a switch in my basement. I decided to wire it up and test it before I installed the lights. The lights turned on just fine, but would not turn off unless I got the switch within a few inches of the receiver. I tried every variation of holding the switch different ways to changing the angle of the receiver and it just didn’t work unless it was close to the receiver. I couldn’t figure out why it would turn the lights on from any location but would not turn them off.I returned everything and bought a Linptech R10 receiver with a switch and it worked great, and the pushbutton did not even require a battery! I also bought a separate receiver and linked the two in the app and now it switches off two separate lights with the push of a button. It looks like Linptech just came out with this new model because the one I first saw had a gaudy button, but the R10 is a more traditional flat button. It is more pricey, but it actually works!And the Linptech one can be connected to an Alexa device too, if that floats your boat. I can’t do that, because we named our daughter Alexa (she’s 16) before Amazon came out with their equipment that listens to everyone’s conversations.But I digress, the bottom line is don’t buy the Dewenwils equipment unless you want to be frustrated and have to go through the process of sending it back and buying a different one.

Title: So much easier than running electricity
Review: Perfect for when you can’t run electricity to a switch. So glad I found this item. You wouldn’t even know it’s not run on electricity

Title: Nice set when they work
Review: The good: Nice remote switches for my application: I have a kitchen with a very badly positioned light switch. This set let me have a switch at every entry point in the kitchen. The bad: The switches for “on” position have a free will as in sometimes come on on the first click but most of the time you have to click them several time. The “off” position get’s it on the first click all the time.

Review: Does what it claims to do, range is a bit tricky and it needs to be positioned just right if you are using all three switches.The switches, feel very cheap, and have a cheap clicky feel to them that does not feel good.

Review: Son prácticos, funcionan bien, solo antes de colocar el apagador, deben verificar que enciendan y prenda bien por qué la señal se ve interrumpida fácilmente.

Title:
Review: I ordered the single switch with two receivers. Installation was a breeze. Turned off the power, connected the existing white wire to their blue and existing black wire to their red. I hooked up a test light to their black and white wires and turned the power back on and the receivers worked immediately when I clicked the remote switch.The only negative is the screws provided to mount the remote to the wall really have to be tightened down so they don’t sit too high and block the remote latching in to the frame.
