My router and modem are up in the attic so I purchased this device to save me from getting the ladder out of the garage and up 2 flights of stairs for the occasional times I need to do a reboot. My attic is basically the 3rd floor and I keep the remote mounted in a closet in the 1st floor. Range is great going through walls and floors and this device is sufficient to handle the load of all my equipment in the attic. I have a power strip plugged into this switch which powers my modem, a router, a switch, and 3 power inverter. If I ever have an issue I just click the remote and everything is reset. I recommend this switch! 45 people found this helpful Helpful

See more I picked this remote controlled cord after reading extensive reviews on many different models. I was a tiny bit worried about the idea that it had to be "line of sight" since the fountain I''m controlling is cast iron and the plug is on the far side of the fountain about 50 feet from the house. But it works perfectly with no problems.

Other pluses: 1) I appreciate that there was literally no set-up. It comes already paired, although there are instructions for unpairing it and re-establishing pairing. 2) I found the instruction booklet exceptionally clear and will keep it in case questions crop up later. 3) And I''m delighted there is a button on the actual cord to turn it on and off without the remote -- that''s an option most other cords did not seem to have.

I recognize we haven''t had a rainy season yet, so I guess people''s concerns with whether something is water-tight could still pop up. But the instructions were clear about having it be up where water can''t enter. I''m going to bet it will work fine.

All in all, I feel like I made a very good choice at a very good price point. 31 people found this helpful Helpful

See more I bought this remotely activated switch to turn off, from another room, a string of LED lights over the counter in our kitchen, because both the lights and their power brick generate noise on the ham radio bands.

The product arrived today. The installation instructions worked fine.

I especially like two things.
1) The remote has an on button and an off button so you do not have to be looking at the controlled appliance to know that you have achieved ON or OFF.
2) The receiver/switch box has a push button, so you are not limited to controlling the appliance with the remote. These put the HBN head and shoulders above other similar units on Amazon, which cost no less.

I was going to take points off on the remote because, the remote''s battery is an odd size: A23. However Amazon has a good selection of A23''s at reasonable prices. So full marks to HBN.

I was confused by the reference in the downloadable copy of the user manual to a "12V 23A" battery for the remote. It is actually a 12 V battery, but 23A is the style, also called A23, not the current rating. There would be less or no confusion if there were a picture of the battery in the description (or the manual).

I am writing this immediately after receiving the device, so I cannot include reliability data. I promise to update the review if anything untoward happens with it. So as time goes on take the lack of an update as evidence for reliability. Final note: I am using it indoors, so no data on how weatherproof it is. 16 people found this helpful Helpful

Amazon CustomerVerified Purchase Best product for my porch lights!!! Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2020 This has got to be the coolest product I''ve purchased on Amazon!

See more This has got to be the coolest product I''ve purchased on Amazon! I needed something to be able to flip the outdoor lights I hung on and off without plugging and unplugging from the wall and found this product, and needed weather resistant for outdoor use and took a chance! Installation was as easy as plugging it in and connecting to remote which is easier than connecting a Bluetooth device (which would have probably been the best thing ever to make this thing Bluetooth...maybe future renditions). I did not screw to the wall because I didn''t want to drill into my bricks and because I have an all weather receptacle for my plug that clips/holds plugs and protects the heads from weather. This receptacle holds the assembly at the required height and sustains its weight from the cable vs the head. I velcroed the remote next to my outdoor lights inside the home and switch the lights on and off with ease...all without having to rewire anything on the house!!! 18 people found this helpful Helpful

See more Edit on 4/13/20: As noted below, hooked this up to my dust collector and it worked great. Then the trouble began. After a day in my basement wood shop, my wife complained that our Maytag dryer upstairs, opposite side of the house, stopped heating. I cycled the circuit breaker, and dryer worked fine. A week later, spent another day in my shop, and once again dryer stopped heating. Same fix, cycled the breaker. Then, same day, my wife noticed our Bosch dishwasher, no matter what cycle it was set on, the timer was locked on 2:25. Cycled the breaker, ran the dishwasher, and now it works fine. Yesterday, spent another day in my shop, but disconnected they remote control. Both dryer and dishwasher work fine. Coincidence? It makes no sense, but two appliances, three instances, all immediately after using the remote control. Meanwhile, both appliances are only one year old and have had no issues before, days in between, and days after using them remote control. I do know both appliances have sophisticated electronic controls. I’m wondering if the remote switch is somehow emitting a signal that interferes with electronics. I’m not going to try a third time as I am afraid of damaging expensive appliances. I can’t explain it.

Original Review: Plugged my woodworking shop dust collector into this unit and velcro’d the little remote to the furnace duct above my table saw. Works great! Now I don’t have to walk all the way across my shop to turn on and off my rather loud dust collector.

Unit came nicely packaged. The battery was separate in a small plastic zip lock bag. Took longer to unbox than to install the battery and plug it in. Very nice for the price. Case and cord are very stiff and heavy duty. This would probably survive quite well outdoors, and I don’t expect dust in my wood shop well be able to get inside. No programming required, but it came with well written instructions in case I ever do. I would definitely buy again. 15 people found this helpful Helpful

Gary JosephVerified Purchase Did not work as advertised Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2021 Very easy to install.

On several occasions I pushed the on button with no response but maybe 10 minutes later when I looked it was on. This happens several times. As I got this new remote control yesterday this situation has happened often. But the good news is that when or if I can get it to turn on it’s very easy to turn off! Not dependable...

Updated 6/4/21:
I want to provide another review of this fountain remote control. For the first couple of days it was difficult to turn on. BUT, since then it has worked great. We turn our fountain on and off daily and this remote control has worked perfectly since then. At this point I would recommend this item to anyone looking for a good remote control and if I need to replace it I will do so with same item.
I also want to thank Darren, from BN-Link Support Team for reaching out to me via email. 9 people found this helpful Helpful

See more Update: bought one for my new house and I never have to go outside to turn on Christmas lights ever again! The one I purchased for my mom is still working and we found a different brand that had a 2 ft cord, so she now has one of each to use to turn on her Christmas lights at the front door and basement door.
Pros: my mom doesn''t need to go outside to turn on her Christmas lights. Easy to set up and use.
Cons: has a really short cord, maybe 6" long. If the cord had been 2''-0" then it would have been perfect.
So far my mom is happy with this. Next is to find a 2''-0" extension cord. We must not have read the product description/specs close enough but this wasn''t a deal breaker because having the remote control was more important. 17 people found this helpful Helpful

See more Love it.my swivel Power lifter from Bissell broke on the third time I used it. The start pedal broke off. I called the company & they didn’t have an authorized dealer menear our area. I wasn’t not able to return it to the company. In other words it was my loss. It was hardly used. Then my hubby got the bright idea of using the wireless start gadget. He stuck with a a Velcro strap the start button on the side of the vaccum. It worked! My hubby is a wizz & I am glad I didn’t have to search for a dealership out of my area with whatever outcome they would come out. The vaccum works great with that idea & glad I didn’t have to spend extra money on another vaccum. We are retired & was not happy with the help I got from Bissell. Will not buy another Bissell again. 13 people found this helpful Helpful
