Switcheroo - Sync Lights with No App, WiFi, Bluetooth, or Remote Control | Change Which Outlets Turn On/Off with Your Existing Light Switch | Smart Outlet Solution for Multiple Plug Switches (2)

I have a bad habit of leaving the basement light on when I come back upstairs. I use this with an annoying light behind my TV that lets me know that the basement light is on. I love it. BTW, I intentionally made the light annoying, it's bright red! This Switcheroo was simple to set up and works great.

easy to set up. Does what it is supposed to. What more could you want?

I don’t typically review. Why? No product is ever worth my time, but whoa. I thought it was pricey, but for the value of what I got out of it. Sooo worth it. I don’t have to rely on internet to make light switches work. So happy with this purchase.

This is expensive. But I wanted to control a light and this is the only product I could find on the market. Plug it in, and it works. It's actually pretty great from that perspective. Just plug it in and it works. This would have been a 5-start review. Well, maybe 4 for the high price, but it was delivering what it promised. However, I've been using this for less than 3 months -- and I was away for 3 weeks over the last 2 months -- and it is failing. The light turns off after 5-15 minutes. Turning the wall switch off and on will turn the light back on, but then it turns off. So this has broken after 2 months. Save your money.

I'm not particularly generous with 5 stars, but can sift incidental issues from functional shortcomings. This is not a perfect product. But it did what nothing else did, so that is first and foremost of importance in my score. Installation was literally less than a minute. It is truly a wireless extension cord. It is not super elegant. As mentioned in other reviews, it's size and appearance is industrial, but much cleaner than extension cords along the baseboard. It also misses occasionally on a wall switch "shut off", and the only remedy is to turn the wall switch back to on and back off. Sometimes, it misses several times in a row. Mildly annoying, mostly for those guests in my home who don't have the backstory. Finally, others mentioned the clicking sound from the transmitter when activated. This does not bother me in the least, but is present. If I were providing input to the manufacturer, it would be this: 1. Consider a next gen design that eliminates the front dial, and allows setup of the channel through bluetooth using an app. This in itself would probably reduce package size. 2. Consider making it IOT compatible (i.e. smart device). While this seems at odds with wanting wall switch compatibility, it really wouldn't be too confusing. If wall switch is on, gives you remote "on" and "off" through wi-fi. If wall switch is off, then those options are greyed out in the app. 3. While this suggestion may be redundant, here me out. If you had a device that eliminated the channel dial from the package, you could further tailor the transmitter and receiver devices, such that the transmitter is a smaller form factor, since it wouldn't need 110v support, it would simply act as a bridge to the receivers. This would make the transmitter size and look more aesthetic.

So after my review the company contacted me and shipped out 2 new pairs of switcheroos. They work great. I hope they continue to work well, because they are a lifesaver in an old house that seems to have every switched receptacle in the wrong place. I should have contacted the company directly instead of reviewing the faulty units first. Customer support was excellent, I encourage anyone to order from them. I'm holding off on a 5 star review though for a while to see how these hold up. ORIGINAL REVIEW:I bought two pairs of these. Initially they worked perfectly. They make a loud "click" sound when you flip the switch, but otherwise, they did what I expected. One pair died after a year. The other two lasted 2 years. They were in a guest bedroom, so they did not get a ton of use.

I was looking for a device which would turn on my swag lamp and table lamp simultaneously with my wall-switched floor lamp. I found plenty of "smart" devices that are controlled by a wi-fi based smart phone app or by speaking to google or alexa or siri or cortana or some other privacy invasive big brother crappola. Switcheroo is the only device I could find that simply and elegantly gets the job done. I ordered the two pack. I set the receiving Switcheroo to use channel A. The transmitting Switcheroo was already set for channel A. I plugged the transmitting Switcheroo into the switched outlet and plugged in the floor lamp. I plugged the receiving Switcheroo into an outlet on the opposite wall, plugged in the table lamp and ran an extension cord behind the sofa to the swag lamp. Now when I flip the wall switch, all three lamps come on (or go off) simultaneously. It was very smart of the Switcheroo designer to include two sockets on each Switcheroo. This allowed me to plug the table lamp and the extension cord to the swag lamp into each socket of the receiving Switcheroo. I was also able to plug in our tiny lit Christmas tree (during the season) into the transmitting Switcheroo which has the floor lamp plugged into its other socket. FYI: this device uses a radio frequency in the 900 MHz spectrum between the transmitter and receiver. It does not interfere with my Panasonic cordless phones, my wi-fi, my home theater, or anything, It just simply (and elegantly) turns on and off my three living room lamps simultaneously. I'm always getting requests by sellers to give them reviews but I rarely do amazon reviews because I don't want to be bothered. But without any request from Switcheroo for a review, I decided to do a review because this device is unique and deserves an atta-boy.

This is an edit of an original review that wasn't so great. I initially LOVED the product, but then it stopped working. I posted my review and emailed the company directly. I was contacted within the hour regarding my issue. A new set was shipped to me within a day or two of this problem. The new set was installed (ok, plugged in), and BOOM!!! Everything is working and I am, once again, beyond excited that at the flip of a switch, I have lights turn on across a very dark room. I don't have any noises or clicks that I heard other people mention. I cannot recommend this product more! No apps, no bluetooth, no remote control! I've been wishing for something like this for 15 years!!! Kudos to this company!!!

This product worked initially but failed after a couple days of use. It would either flash the light on and off or just not work. I follow the troubleshooting guide on the Switcheroo website but that did not resolve the issue. Do not buy the switcheroo, it is a waste of money. Similar but reliable results can be achieved with 2 Lutron Caseta wall plug kits.
