 Nice concept, but now I wish I would have just pulled new wires June 7, 2008
The instructions for the base switch said to put the antenna down through the wall box and into the wall. I couldn't get it down into the wall, so I tried leaving it on the outside, under the faceplate. The remote switch was 14ft away and it didn't work. I took the remote switch off the wall and it didn't start working until it was within a few feet of the base switch. Then I was trying to adjust the antenna and heard a small sizzle sound (I think something shorted out in the switch) and then the remote switch no longer worked no matter how close it was. Maybe it will work better for you, but it didn't do the trick for me.
 Just didn't solve my 'normal' problem June 2, 2008
I bought this product to solve the exact problem it was designed for: Remote switching of a ceiling light fixture. The light fixture is upstairs and I am in need of an additional switch for it at the bottom of the stairs. Why? Because when I turn out all the lights downstairs I can't see. This switch would enable me to turn on the upstairs hallway light before ascending the staircase.
Installation of the remote switch was easy. Installation of the switch with the antenna was not so easy. To do it right you really need to pull the single gang box and drill a hole through the bottom for the antenna wire to feed through. I have a metal gang box so I pulled it and removed a hole tab in the bottom for the wire. Still, it is a pain to feed a thin antenna wire through the hole such that as you reinstall the box the wire continues to feed through the box and hang below the box on the inside of the wall. This step is the most important because if your antenna is not positioned to properly receive transmissions from the remote switch it will not work.
I think I did a good job of this, but who knows? I can't see the wire without tearing out some wall. I have lathe and plaster walls so I am not eager to do this.
My switch doesn't work very well. I do not have line-of-sight from switch to switch. There is some stairway framing obstructing the line-of-sight. The switches are approximately 20 feet apart. The remote switch will reliably turn OFF the upstairs light but only very occasionally will it turn it ON.
In all I was disappointed with this product.
 Perfect March 10, 2008
It works perfect. It is possible to install without any practice. But be sure that you read the manual before.
Works as advertised. March 10, 2008
The remote plate sticks out a bit more than I would like, but being able to turn off the overhead light from my bed is worth it.
