I had a light regular light switch installed with lighting inside my barn. That worked fine until I decided to change my barns around and move the animals into it. The problem now was I could not get to the light switch when the animals were inside and the door was shut. And the only way I could get the animals in the barn was with the light on. That said I thought I would try this remote and actuator. It was simple to install and surprisingly came with two remotes that looked like a regular light switch so I put one by the door and the other in my side by side. Remarkably I can even switch the light on or off from the side by side from well over 100 yards away. Beyond happy with this.

This such a great use of technology and easy to install. Well worth the money 1/2 price of Home Depot or Lowe’s.

Excellent option, easy install, working well with Hampton bay light fixture.

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.

I purchased the switch with 2 wiring harnesses and 2 switch with screw in receiver. I’m a licensed master electrician and have used a lot of different electrical products over the years but this by far is one of the best. Typically the part you dread is the programming but don’t worry about it with this product. Number one as I told you I purchased 3 different kits 2 screw in receiver with switch and 1 kit with 2 wired receivers and a switch. Each kit comes preprogrammed so the screw in self explained with switch there is no wiring at all with this kit it’s plug and play. The other 2 kits I have one screw in and one with 2 wired harnesses. This required reprogramming the screw in receiver which is the easiest programming ever. On the screw in there’s a button on it with power on press the button and the indicator light flashes continue holding button in for approximately 6 seconds and when blinking speeds up release button the old code is now erased. To program push the button and as soon as light begins flashing approximately 3 seconds release button and press the light switch on and then off the lights should light right away I programmed mine with 0 problems. Finally a product that I’m not swearing at the entire programming phase. I would say any DYI people out there no problem with installation other folks the screw in any one should be able to handle the wired ones are also very easy but some people aren’t comfortable with electrical work in this case consult an electrician. Take a minute read instructions and install you’ll be amazed at how easy it is. One lad note to the engineers and designers of this product my hats off to you I normally don’t have nice things to say about the design and build team because they tend to complicate and over engineer products this WAS PERFECT in my opinion I would shake everyone of your hands you truly deserve recognition for this project.

Fácil instalación, muy práctico

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.

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.

I found the instructions a little confusing, not north american terminology, but it works great, thank you

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.
