BN-LINK Wireless Remote Control Electrical Outlet Switch for Lights, Fans, Christmas Lights, Small Appliance, Long Range White (Learning Code, 5Rx-2Tx) 1200W/10A

UPDATE: many people experience the remote suddenly failing to work. My remote finally started showing this behavior a year after my purchase. But I do know what is happening: This happens in the winter or perhaps in a well air conditioned home. The battery gets cold, the juice solidifies and the remote fails to catch a signal. There are three remedies: 1). Hold the remote on a warm part of your body (I tuck it under the back of my knee and tuck in my leg), 2) Take a blow dryer to the remote or 3) Remove the battery and roll it swiftly between your palms to heat it up. This takes about 30 seconds, as does the blow dryer. The first suggestion takes longer. This occurs with many models and it is not the remote that is broke, it is the battery that is too cold. Interesting point: look at the reviews that complain about the remote stopping suddenly, and check out the date of their review. 🙂 They are all in cold months. Other than frigid batteries, this is a very reliable device. Enjoy!OLDER REVIEW:I had a trio of remote outlets I bought back about five years ago for the Christmas tree. They finally gave out on me, but it might be battery related. Either way, I bought new batteries and also bought new remote plugs; this one has five.The buttons on the remote controls are labeled and the plugs (1-3, anyway) work well. The only issue I have is the older plugs I had allowed me to plug my lamps in the side. These only offer a receptacle on the front, making the plug jet out, making it difficult to tuck the cords away.It has a good range. I went clear over to the front of my house to turn on the lamp in the back room, and it easily turned on the lamp through the walls and any other crud I have, taking up space and blocking the plug.This means when I do get my tree up, I can turn the tree lights on and off from my seat.It comes with two remotes. The plugs come with a button on the side to activate the plug. You plug one plug in each device, and both remotes immediately work. No need to sync or pair the remote with the outlet the way you would with Bluetooth.Of course, with two remotes, someone else can have control of your devices. If you’re a control freak, good luck with that! But I like to think of it as having an extra remote to replace one that will no doubt get lost some day.The only way I could handle the previously lost remote issue with the set that only came with one remote, was to turn the lights on and off manually. When I had the lights on, I shifted in my seat and the light suddenly turned off. I found the remote beside my recliner cushion. Then I added a key ring to it and hung it on my metal desk lamp that’s holding all sorts of magnetic gizmos. And in mentioning that, I should add that I glued a small powerful magnet to one of the remotes of these outlets and it easily sticks to the metal lamp, replacing the previous remote.I do like these remote controlled outlets, even with the front-facing receptacles, which is nothing more than a mild nuisance.I am considering buying another set, but I do want to try to get my older set working first.No sense in wasting something that could be repaired.I do recommend these. If I have any issues with this set, I will be certain to update my review. But I will also update to mention any feature I discover that suddenly impresses me.

This is a great gadget with only one small draw back but otherwise a solid purchase. I set up a small little man cave in the garage so that my son and I could hang out and watch tv while we worked in the garage. (Usually less work and more tv). This was in the summer so we needed a fan to cool us down. My son being a teenager and me being in my50s neither one of us wanted to get up and down out of our chairs to turn The fan on and off. Definitely first world problems. I installed this wireless receiver into the outlet and put my fan to it and we use the remote to turn it on and off. It works really well and is very responsive. No lag time between the on and off buttons being pushed. They give you five Receivers and two remotes. Each of the remotes can actually control all five of the receivers but if you are going to install the receivers upstairs and downstairs you May want a remote in both locations. The remotes are not optical either which means that they do not have to have a direct line of sight between the remote and the receiver and the reception between the two is very good. I was able to turn the fan on and off from about 30 feet away..The one drawback is the size of the receivers. I attached a photo and you can see that the receiver is a little larger than the distance between two plugs on either an outlet or an extension strip. What that means is that when you install one of these you have the potential to cover up another outlet plug unless you put it at the very bottom. The problem I had is that at the very bottom of my power strip there is an on/off button. Sometimes when I unplug the fan to use elsewhere and plug it back into the receiver it toggles that power button causing everything plugged into it to reset. I took off one star for that. Otherwise a Very useful, very affordable, and a great purchase

WORKS , ITS SO EASY TO INSTALL, JUST PLUG IT IN, USE THE REMOTES AND TURN LIGHTS ON ANYWHERE IN THE HOUSE. THIS IS A LIFE SAVER. EVERYONE SHOULD OWN THESE. I CAN BE IN BED AND TURN LAMPS ON ALL OVER THE HOUSE WITH THE PUSH OF A BUTTON. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSATIFIED. GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR SOMEONE YOU LOVE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE WITH THIS ITEM. WORKS PERFECTLY EVERY TIME, I HAVE THEM IN EVERY ROOM . NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE. COLD OR HEAT HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM.

Easy to set up. Love that there are 5 switches on one controller and two remotes (controllers) to turn lights etc on/off in different locations of the house

The media could not be loaded. The set arrived quickly in a small, neatly packed green box with everything tightly fitted inside. Even though the instructions say the outlets need programming, they all worked right away as soon as I plugged them in. Both remotes came with their batteries included in the box (no need to buy them separately), which was a nice. Each remote has five buttons and can control any of the five outlets, so you can use either one for all of them. I upgraded from an older set that had started giving out and not always responding, and this one has been a huge improvement, everything works instantly at the press of a click. So far day one, everything is running perfectly right out of the box, so I definitely recommend this set.

Easy to install and it sure makes it convenient and much easier to turn on/off multiple lights around the house with the touch of a remote control. Great value with the number of outlets and extra remote.

So simple it's genius. Everything about these is perfect. You've got separate switches for on/off, so you don't have to wonder if you switched on a lamp that was already off (because you're in the bedroom & it's in the living room). Two remotes, you can have one upstairs, one down. A myriad of uses, fans to cool you off during the night, and then switch off. Also computer printers, lava lamps, white noise machines. And lamps, of course. It's better than the Clapper.
