> 24 hourLike many others, I needed this to control a lamp in a far section of a large room. When I first attempted to plug the receiver into the wall, its diameter was too large to exist with another devices power adapter on that same outlet. Not a big deal for me, but could be frustrating for someone else who isnt expecting to have to reroute/reposition adapters for multiple things to accommodate this receiver. Theres a pairing process, and it involves pressing the button on the side of the receiver for a few seconds until the button flashes. The problem is that my fingers are a bit thick, so my finger was larger than the button surface, and prevented me from seeing the flashing light. No big deal, I just counted to 3, and took my finger off to check it. Other than that, the pairing process was very easy. That was it. The remote worked on the first attempt, and it solves one of lifes many tiny headaches. The remote does have a separate magnetic base, but I dont plan to use it. Despite the small issues I mentioned, I highly recommend this device.

> 24 hourThis thing does the trick. Bought it for the fan in my gym since it’s mounted too high. Plugged it in to this and it just worked. That’s everything you need to know.

> 24 hourI have a storage closet that had the old fashioned pull-chain ceiling light in it, which I did not like at all. It would be a lot of work and expense to have an electrician wire it to a wall switch. I had purchased not one but eventually two of the pricey GE brand remote switches. The first one failed in about a years time, and the second one eventually failed as well. (After replacing the battery in both thinking that was the problem) They were junk. I bought this and it has worked beautifully and has a much better design. The screw-in light socket is shorter (the GE socket was quite long and after adding a light bulb it hung down lower in the closet and the bulb would get bumped.) The on/off buttons on this are a simple light press with your finger instead of the rocker type on the GE product. They are more electronic than mechanical and seem to work much more efficiently. It gets a lot of use as I am in and out of this area a lot. The round disc type of switch on this product is a bit different. So, I bought a metal switch plate at Home Depot and the switch, which has magnets on the back, sticks to that. It also comes with some adhesive mounting squares, which I could have just stuck on the wall, but Im not a fan of those. This works perfectly and looks nice on the wall, like an upscale, designer wall switch. It is also very easy to change out the disc battery when the time comes. The back just rotates off. I have since purchased two of the remote plug version, for some other areas around my home where I just wanted a convenient on/off wall switch to control some lighting. I like that each one has a unique code so they dont interfere with each other at all. The remotes also have great range. All in all, this is an excellent product that I would highly recommend.

> 24 hourVery easy to install and remote does not have to be in direct line of outlet. Attached remote to metal end table and dont have to remove it to control power to a lamp where the outlet is blocked. So convenient and easy to use.

> 24 hourThis switch solved my problem of how to turn my outside garden pond pump on/off without having to go outside the house. The switch receiver plugs into the outside power socket that powers the pump. The on/off buttons are now inside , no wires required.

> 24 hourI bought this product so I did not have to keep crawling under my desk at work to turn my space heater on and off. It fit the bill perfect. So much easier having the on and off button magnetically attached above the desk top. My co-workers were jealous. I would not be surprised if they are purchasing them for themselves.

> 24 hourI love it! Its compact size and bi-stable operation are perfect for my needs. To achieve its small size, the device uses a bi-stable (a.k.a. latching) relay. A bi-stable relay has two stable states. It uses power only during the instant it is being switched on or off. A conventional relay uses power the whole time it is in the on state. A bi-stable relay allows the capacitors in the power supply circuit to be much smaller, making the devices smaller size possible. All tiny smart switches will have a bi-stable relay for this reason, but some will probably reset the relay to the off state when powered up. Fortunately for me, this unit does not do that. I solved the issue of the device being a little bit too big by moving it to the other socket on the outlet. That allowed me to plug a normal-sized 15 amp grounded plug into the other socket. Someone complained that the magnet that holds the transmitter to its base is too weak. Thats true, but I solved that by using a piece of Velcro-like 3M Command Strip to hold the unit to the wall, not using the base at all. The Command Strip can be easily removed from the wall without damage if you follow the removal instructions.

> 24 hourThis product works and is handling my garbage disposal everytime unlike the other model we tried. Im using the switch for my RO system under the sink (plug) and had no way to use garbage disposal. Thanks for not having to run a separate line to disposal. Good job!

> 24 hourLoraTap Mini Remote Control Outlet Plug Adapter with Remote works AMAZINGLY well. Super easy to install and no configuration needed. Worked right out of the box.The remote truly does work anywhere in my house. We have it setup about 5 feet from the plug but tested it from all over the house and outside. I do wish they had a face plate so it was smooth against the wall and looked like it belonged next to a traditional light switch. It came with foam adhesive attached to it but we added a command strip for easy removal so in the photo it does stick off the wall more than what comes with it. We will be removing the command strip once we decide where we want it compared to the current light switch.
