Wireless Light Switch and Receiver Kit

I needed to move a wall-mounted light switch to the other side of the room. I was dreading crawling through the attic to run the new wires. If I had to pay an electrician to do this, it would be several hundred dollars. This switch is very easy to install and works like a champ. Total installation time was less than thirty minutes. Worth every penny.

REVIEW UPDATED TO 5 STARS Turns on no problem. Turns off intermittently. Holding off button for 1 second oppose to a fast click helps, but most times I must click off 3-5 times before it happens. Switch and box are about 9 ft away (panty overhead light) Install was super easy, box is small enough to fit inside ceiling wire box. Switch feels cheap but price was cheap, no problems there ** Shortly after I left my review the company reached out and offered assistance- they sent me a new switch and instructions to program it. it now works flawlessly. super impressed with the level of customer service for such a cheap product.

As afew others have noticed, turning it off can troublesome at times, however if you give it 5 or 10 seconds it will usually shut off. It never seems to have issues with turning on. The range is plenty for me and seems to me it would be good for most people. I don't love the look of the switch. But it's doable. The part that goes in the light can be alittle large to get in, once you find the right spot it will fit right in.

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.

This worked perfectly in our hone. We used it for our dining room light.

Installation was easy. Switch turns on great, off is very intermittent. Tried clicking multiple times, it only works when it wants to. Removed the light and reprogrammed, didn't have any effect. The switch is only 7 ft away from the light fixture.

With no decent options to run a wire for a light switch these are the perfect soluton when you have power but no easy access for a light switch. Just make sure you hook them up with the input and output the right way. Some wireless switches it doesn't matter but with these it does. Other than that they set up easy.

Works well once you get it installed, no issues with the remote or box after installed. I might be naive about electrical issues, but when I read "no wiring" in the description I thought that meant you wouldn't have to do anything with wires which was not the case at all. You have to connect the box with wires to the wires connected to your light\fan ( i connected mine to a ceiling fan). This involved taking off the cover over the ceiling fan and light, unscrewing the caps on the wire connections, stripping down the wires a little, connecting the box wires to the fan wires, and screwing the caps back on. Then, I couldn't fit the fan wire cover back on bc the box for this remote switch was so big the cover doesn't fit over it. The wires were too short for me to be able to push it up into the ceiling hole, which is not the products fault, but something I was trying to avoid dealing with by buying something that was "no wiring", and this is definitely not that. ( you can see in the pics how it looks now until I figure out how to get the cover on somehow) Also, it will only turn off the fan, not the light, so I still have to sort use the wall switch and the pull cord for the light. ( it will turn the light on) I got it for the fan specifically, so this is not the end of the world for me, but just something to keep in mind if you're considering buying one. Emits a feelable amount of heat from the box once wired up, not anything I'm concerned about, its not much, but if that is something you don't want, be aware. Would not buy again, but its already installed so I'm just going to deal with it.

Excelente producto

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.

Este interruptor cumplió todas mis expectativas. Entrega a tiempo, el primero llegó descompuesto, pero lo repusieron de inmediato y el reemplazo funcionó perfecto. Creo que no cumple con la distancia que marca el control remoto, pero coloque el interruptor más cerca y no fue nada que no pudiera solucionarse.

Muy fácil de instalar.

Muy buen sistema de luz inteligente. Tarda un poco en prender y apagar pero bien
