Have you ever wanted to have a switch for an electrical device in a new location, or be somewhat mobile, or just simply more convenient to access? Well, DEWENEILS may just have the solution.
The DEWENWILS Outdoor Wireless Remote-Control Outlet is a device that features what looks like a 2-foot extension cord having a standard three-prong male AC ground plug on one end and a three-prong female outlet built into a waterproof housing on the other. Since this electrical device is entirely waterproof it can be used both outdoors and indoors. The remote control on/off switch can turn electrical devices on or off up to 100’ away. It can accommodate up to 15 amps/1875 Resistance/1000-watt tungsten and up to ½ horse power motors at 115 volts. It therefore is perfect for remotely turning on/off string lights, holiday decorations, landscape lighting fixtures, security devices, room lights and appliances with just a push of the button on the supplied remote control.
The DEWENWILS remote control device comes complete with the popular CR2032 button battery. It’s easy to install too. Simply plug it into a standard ground plug outlet that is near the device you wish to control, then plug in your device and the installation is now complete. To operate, just press the appropriate on or off button on the remote control to now control the device’s mode of operation. Incidentally, there is also an on/off manual switch located atop the outlet housing should you wish to control it from its actual location.
These types of remotes use a control signal to transmit the commands from the remote to the outlet’s receiver. This inaudible signal utilizes a specific assigned frequency. If you plan to use multiple control devices that you wish to individually control It’s important to know what frequency(s) you are already using on one or more remote controls and order one with a different frequency from any devices already in use. Check the packaging for the frequency already being used and then alert the vendor with this information so you will have a completely independent operational device.
I found the DEWENWILS remote control device very handy for several applications. I have a light in the master bedroom that I can now turn on by the entrance door. I have another light on a living room bar and on the wall that’s now controllable from the couch. (Note: A multi-outlet adapter is used for this particular application.) My wife has a lamp several feet from a bed which she can now control while in bed. Since each switch is on a different frequency the operation of any and all remote do not interfere with each other. Without question the DEWENILS REMOTE CONTROL is convenient, requires no electrician or special wiring!
