DEWENWILS Wireless Light Switch and Receiver Kit, No in-Wall Wiring Required,Remote Control Wall Switch Lighting Fixture for Ceiling Lights, Fans, Lamps,100 Ft RF Range, Programmable

I ordered this last evening and it arrived early this afternoon. I used it to replace a light switch that became inaccessible. It was an easy install and once paired it works great. Will buy again if the need arises.

Good Value Remote Switch. Installed 2 ceiling LED recessed can-less lights. Too difficult to run a wall switch so went with a wireless remote. Easy install with a simple battery wall mount switch. No real guidance on the remote which I buried under ceiling insulation with the fixtures (IC rated) but no real load. Yes, would recommend

I purchased the switch with 2 wiring harnesses and 2 switch with screw in receiver. I’m a licensed master electrician and have used a lot of different electrical products over the years but this by far is one of the best. Typically the part you dread is the programming but don’t worry about it with this product. Number one as I told you I purchased 3 different kits 2 screw in receiver with switch and 1 kit with 2 wired receivers and a switch. Each kit comes preprogrammed so the screw in self explained with switch there is no wiring at all with this kit it’s plug and play. The other 2 kits I have one screw in and one with 2 wired harnesses. This required reprogramming the screw in receiver which is the easiest programming ever. On the screw in there’s a button on it with power on press the button and the indicator light flashes continue holding button in for approximately 6 seconds and when blinking speeds up release button the old code is now erased. To program push the button and as soon as light begins flashing approximately 3 seconds release button and press the light switch on and then off the lights should light right away I programmed mine with 0 problems. Finally a product that I’m not swearing at the entire programming phase. I would say any DYI people out there no problem with installation other folks the screw in any one should be able to handle the wired ones are also very easy but some people aren’t comfortable with electrical work in this case consult an electrician. Take a minute read instructions and install you’ll be amazed at how easy it is. One lad note to the engineers and designers of this product my hats off to you I normally don’t have nice things to say about the design and build team because they tend to complicate and over engineer products this WAS PERFECT in my opinion I would shake everyone of your hands you truly deserve recognition for this project.

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 item obviates the need to hardwire lighting fixtures to switches. It includes small RF receivers that need to be tucked into each lighting fixture itself (ie its in-wall electrical box underneath). The RF controller switch looks like any other wall switch and can be mounted anywhere within RF “hearing” distance of the receiver/s. BTW one can easily by-pass the switches by using a WIFI/RF controller (eg: Broadlink Hub+APP) that first “learns” the on/off RF codes to its memory.

The media could not be loaded. Es una lástima que no pueda terminar mi trabajo por un switch que ya he comprado dos veces y me hace lo mismo., enciende y luego no apaga. El primero nunca apagó la lámpara led de pared, y el segundo la apaga a veces; mayormente no la apaga. He perdido mucho tiempo en montar y desmontar la lámpara más el viaje de devolución. La atención al cliente fue buena a pesar de que me “alertaron” de que si no la devolvía me la cobrarían a mi tarjeta de Amazon. Espero que esta vez entonces me digan que me la regalan por tantas molestias, porque la calidad del producto no parece buena, a pesar de los cientos de buenos review.Debería aclararse en la descripción si necesita un consumo MÍNIMO para que funcione correctamente. Ya me ocurrió con la fuente de alimentación de una lámpara.

Worked well for my project. It looks like it is wired in. Turns the light on every time. I am satisfied with the reliability.
