Wireless remote does not work

I bought this product for my playroom. I wanted to be able to turn off the entire game room with the remote control. Game consoles are notorious energy vampires. This product was rated for outdoor use and had a nice chunky cord that handled 15 amps easily, although my playroom maxes out at 3-5 amps. So this product should be superfluous. The problem is that it is sold as a remote control device but when I tried to use the remote control it didn't respond. I've tried reconnecting the remote…

  • Quality construction

  • Does not fit all

Poorly made flammable

The zero wire was not fully soldered to the board and the print was overloaded and burned out. Fortunately, this did not start a fire. This happened after only a few months of use, but most of the time it was sporadic so it gradually got worse until today it stopped completely. Update: Due to my poor rating, the seller offered to exchange the device for free. Arrived today and I opened the case to inspect the wiring and found the same incomplete soldering defect on the neutral wire on the…

Died after a few months but has great support

Bought in May to switch 2 external LED strings from home and it's already dead. Only used a few times over the summer. The remote control was fine (40ft away) except it wouldn't turn on 1 or 2 times for no apparent reason and I had to get out and press a button. In any case, he barely survived the summer. Not sure when he died but when I tried in December he was already dead. Checked internally to see if anything was loose but appears to be a swollen capacitor (see pic). UPDATE: After realizing

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Frequency

Easy install, works great, not expensive

Bought for $11.55 from Revain. Wanted to be able to turn the headlights on and off in the backyard without going into the shed where the switch is. Connected in seconds. Went in to sit in my favorite chair to see if the remote would work through a brick wall and about 60 feet or so away. Worked great. What's really nice is that the remote control has separate buttons to turn it on and off. Doesn't help me with this app because I can see if the headlights are on or not, but if I put one of these

  • cool product

Exactly what I needed

This may be overkill for what I need but works perfectly. I have a tube amp with a switch on the back on a shelf in my office. Turning the unit on is easy as you can reach it and turn on the switch, but turning it off means sticking your hand in a tight space with a very hot amp that can touch your skin. One click on the mini remote control and it turns on or off. I use it indoors and get pretty close to the device when using the remote, but I tested it from the other end of a large house and…

Best OUTDOOR remote control!

This is the third or fourth Revain outdoor remote I've tried and this one has lasted the longest and worked the best! I think a lot has to do with plugging everything you need to control into the bottom of the device. Moisture does not enter the outlet on the device because it points downwards. I've even gone so far as to apply silicone sealant on previous units to keep it from getting wet inside. I didn't do it with this one, and here in Wisconsin it was heavy rain and sub-zero temperatures. I

Range 100 feet? Not really - If I could give 0 stars I would

As there is no clear way to contact the seller to ask for help I will describe the problem here. The remote control should work up to 100 feet. The remote turns the outlet on remotely, but you have to be about 20 feet away to turn it off. So if that's all you need, okay, I need the full, PROMISED distance. inferior quality. Update: I finally contacted the seller: they sent another device, EXACTLY the same problem, they sent another, "better" updated version. It worked! But they say the first…

Pros
  • Tools & Housewares
Cons
  • could have chosen a newer model
