I only purchase products endorsed by Billy Mays.

Or George Foreman. "It's a lean, mean, remote controlled switching machine!"

I used to have many X10 remote controlled switches.
They were controlled over the power circuit.
I also had an X10 wireless interface and an X10 timed interface.

It was all very unreliable.
Most of the problems were caused by the "signal over the power circuit" interface in the remote controlled switches themselves. The remote controlled switch would often fail. I suspect they were vulnerable to power surges etc,.

This system by contrast only supports wireless direct to the remote controlled switches themselves. While significantly less versatile, if implemented well, it does have the capability of being much more reliable.
It would be very useful if someone who has already purchased this product were to comment on how well it performs.

Does this work with the Harmony? ;P

I have these. They work fine with the included remote. I have 3 halogen lamps connected through these. I can turn off the lamps in my living room from my bed room. The remote frequency is 433.92 MHz.

Install on your kids gaming console or PC so you have better control of usage and reward system

I wonder how much the 12 volt model 23A battery (not included) for the remote costs?

#3 i've read of a few people buying these from Geeks and all were happy.

#7, Checking Google products it seems the batteries go for between $5-$10 for a 6-pack.

this is great to play pranks on your co-workers... monitor swith on... monitor switch off... =D

cool!

nah

I'm in for a set! do they also offer surge protection? Or should i plug it into a surge protector first?

#9 - that would be AWESOME- do it however many times until they figure it out ... ha!

I want it.

I've always had good luck with all of my x10 components. I'm not sure about the issues #3 is talking about. You can expand and control much more with x10, but for simple jobs, this may be a good solution.
