This product, which worked as good as can be for me, is a very ingenuitive way to save energy. With it; nothing stays on in my house when it doesn't need to be and that includes a lot of things that otherwise would be too far out of reach to consider, like a light in another room etc.

It's puzzling why so many other people had trouble with these units but as I said mine is just fine.

Update: 9/22/08 I've found some reasons why this product may not work so well for some people: it's easy to press the button incompletely where the light flashes but the switch isn't activated. When the button is pressed and activated there is an audible click both in the controller and the unit. Also as you use it the buttons can build up a little residue from thumbs and it becomes necessary to press the buttons harder.

When the overhead light/fan combo burnt out in my bedroom and I didn't have time to replace if for a couple months, I bought these and hooked them up to a few lamps. It works. It's very nice to be able to turn the lights on and off from my bed.

I'm not using this product over great distances or through walls, which is why its getting 4 stars: I'm not pushing it. But for my purposes, remote power switch in a workshop, the product works great.
