If you're thinking about remote control, unless you only need to control one or two devices and don't foresee ever needing expandability, I'd go with an x10 system (x10.com). Relatively cheap and many more options down the road.

These things are S
Gave mine away to charity...and let them throw it away.

i agree with #2. total waste of money but ben keeps posting these. should change the name of the site to ben's ripoffs

They are worth every penny. I have set at home and works without any problem for more than 2 years now.

turn off ure whole house w/ 1 switch!

#1 True.. I spend about $500 dollars on x10 products. Got my whole house control on my computer works great.. I also own 5 of this remote switch socket works great also, I paid about 7.50 each. Notice some of the remote works on difference frequency, and 1 on same. basicly use it for night lamp only.

These are fine for in the room, I have two sets. I don't try to use the remote from 100 feet away so it is possible that could be a problem but for in room/next room these work fine and they are cheap.

They are not intended to compete with a whole house system, both have their place. Four Seasons hotels and Motel 6 can be across the street from each other and not compete, they have different customers with different needs.

I plugged my Clapper into to this, and according to my Kill-A-Watt, I've reduced my carbon footprint.

X10 is generally not the way to go. It has been replaced by Insteon that is a big improvement since each module acts as a repeater forming a mesh and greatly improving signal reliability. It also includes RF transmission as well as over the power lines, more addresses, gives feedback to verify that the module did what it was supposed to do, and is backward compatible with X10 so you can use the cheaper X10 modules on things that aren't mission critical. Better than the X10, Zigbee, and Z-wave systems IMHO..

wtf can i use these to spy on naked ladies, how about if i install them somewhere across the st and then hit the button from my room and that is when the lgiths turn off and on haha
