Great wireless switch

I don't always bother writing reviews for most of the things I buy here, but this little switch is really neat. The design of the push button switch itself is modern and sleek looking. You can stick it anywhere. Comes with double sided tape and has accommodation for screw mount too, if you prefer but no screws. Installation took 10 minutes. You need to be somewhat knowledgeable about home electrical wiring since you need to go into your existing switch outlet and wire the receiver and squeeze it in there. For me I wanted an extra control for a swimming pool light as my existing wall switch is in a bedroom and I wanted a switch out on the deck near the pool. It can be set up so that you can still use your existing wall switch as a master which will still turn your light on and off. The wireless switch however only works when the master switch is on. The receiver is powered by your house AC (so it needs both a hot wire and neutral to work, which most switch outlet boxes should have. The transmitter, has a disk battery, which to replace you need a small screwdriver to gently pry off the bezel and then again to gently pry the rocker switch cover off the internals. I tried this before mounting just to see how easy it was. It was a bit tricky as I was afraid I would break the plastic if I pried to hard. However the battery is supposed to last for years. Instructions are mostly understandable, and detailed but the English grammar is awkward in places. For my install, the range between the receiver and the switch is about 50 feet, but it's advertised to work at a much greater range than that. Great switch, great price.
