Outstanding Product - But NOT A TIMER

This product is amazing. The distance from the remote to the outlet control could likely be 100' if used outdoors. I used only indoors and from about 60 feet away. It works perfectly even though it transmits through several walls between the remote and the outlet control. This product is NOT a timer. The title and the description both say that it is, but it is not a timer. I did not want a timer anyway, so I am perfectly happy with my purchase. I have called the manufacturer to look into the Amazon posting. I will buy two more now that I know how well my first two worked! I don't know how many "channels" there are. When I bought my first pair, one was channel F and one was channel P so they do not interfere with one another even though they are in close proximity to each another. Highly recommended.

The remote works great, love it

I purchased the #32555 single outlet. I have a Lutron manual dimmer plugged into it and a set of Fulton 24 bulb string lights plugged into the dimmer. The whole thing is in a Sock-it watertight box on my patio. I don't care what the manufacturer says, I'm not brave enough to leave anything electric plugged in outside in the rain. Not even Christmas lights, but that's just me. The remote works great, love it. I have never tried it from more than 15ft away. Even when the remote is off it is warm to the touch, that seems a little odd but I guess that is just the way it is. It's on a GFI circuit so I won't worry about it.

Great little gadget for lazy dudes...

I got this to control my bedroom nightlight that is mounted on the wall. I mounted it high for reading, but it became a pain to reach at night to turn off. This little gadget is a life saver. It works very well. There is a confirming click on both the remote control and the outlet box - slight delay. There is also a LED that lights up on the remote when a button is pressed. I imagine if the LED does not light - it will be time to change the battery. I do want to mention that you must hold the button down for about a second for the it work. A quick click like you would do with a mouse or with the TV remove control does not always work; however, the range is good. I can turn the light on or off from any of the 3 bed rooms and even as far as my dinning room. Not that I need that, but ya never know. I also have the 2 outlet for my Christmas decorations - going 2 years strong. It has not yet failed me, not even in single digit weather. I keep my 12' snowman outside through the winter and use a Woods remote outlet to turn it on and off. I've come to trust in the Woods brand and plan on getting another one of these for my living room. Note: For outside use, after you plug in your device cord - use electrical tape and wrap up the end to create an air tight seal. Don't take any chances with electricity and water. I have always done this with and without weatherproof devices and have never had any problems.

Works great for linked shop lights in my workshop.

Before I bought this, I ordered some linked LED shop lights to put in my workshop because they were an Amazon deal of the day. The lights link together, but they turn on individually with a pull cord. Not even one main cord would turn them all on and off at once. That was not acceptable to me, because I didn't feel like having hanging strings in my shop, or having to turn them all on and off every time. I wanted a solution to switch them all on and off at the same time. The plug I am using for the lights is in the rafters of the shop because I use the other plug in the outlet for the garage door opener. Because of that, I could not wire a switch on the circuit. I couldn't reach it, and I didn't want to turn the garage door opener off with the lights. I considered getting a wifi-enabled outlet because home automation is cool, but wifi is spotty in my shop at best, and it just felt like more than I needed just to turn lights on and off. That's when I discovered this wireless remote control kit. So far, this remote control kit has worked flawlessly. I have had no issues. I have not tried it outdoors, so I cannot comment on how weatherproof it is, nor will I ever be able to comment on that. It is going to stay inside. My only real gripe is that the remote controller uses an odd battery -- A23. Turns out it's not hard to find on Amazon though. I just had never seen one before. It looks like half a AAA battery. Besides the strange battery, I have no complaints with this unit so far (it's been a month or so). I am very happy with my purchase.

So awesome!

I love this thing! I didn't realize I bought a 2 pack and ended up with 4 but they are all on different channels so I kept them all and now I can light up anything! I wish the remote had one button instead of an on and off as I never remember which is which, or if they were different colors or something. It has a great range and I'm surprised how far it reaches! I use it to power my deck lights that I used to have to plug in to turn on in the dark. Now it's like having a light switch. I've got the chicken coop outfitted and Christmas lights too! It would be spectacular if they also had a timer but for the price, this is perfect.

Reliable, I have multiple of this unit

I actively use about 4-5 of these in my home. It helps to operate 2 sets of heavy wire gauge string lights that support A19 standard bulbs, a display cabinet in a room, and a set of string lights outdoors. This is all happening within close proximity. I've never had an instance where interference caused one remote to toggle another set of lights without intention. Remote is subtle, small, light, and simple. The price on this item seems to ebb and flow based on some market dependency somehow. I recently put this item on a list and when I looked again, the price had gone down 20% and I pulled the trigger on buying it then. These supposedly can handle up to 1,100 watts. The heaviest load mine are bearing are string lights which host about a dozen 13-watt equivalent CFLs and they perform without issue. Durability (or at least the appearance of) is definitely a plus. For the narrow scope I use them for, I'd say it's definitely worth the price and the buy.

Just wow!

Wow! Was amazed how strong remote control signal is. I used it behind the brick wall for my garden fountain. It works from ANY point of the garden! Apart from this, it looks quite sturdy and well made, not sure yet if it would work fore decades, we will see. The only disadvantage (in my case) was the shape of electrical plug, it did not fit my garden socket (90-degree connection with earth inside), so I had to modify both of them - removing plastic ribs from the plug, and making an extra hole in the socket protective box. This is not a point do downgrade 5-star rate, rather to pay attention if it fits your socket.

Highly recommended Wireless Remote Control Outlet with easy long range remote on - off control of your electronics.

The Woods 3255WD Outdoor Wireless Remote Control Outlet has to be one of the best with one of the best long range remote controlling for turning a device or product on & off when you need to or want to. I am using this product of Woods for use of turning my Flowtron Diplomat Bug zapping light on exactly & only when I want it on & then off exactly when I want it to be off such as during a rainstorm at night to protect it from moisture damage or when I wake up say anywhere from 2am to 5am & don't want it on anymore. I can do all of this from the comfort of my home with the simple press of a on or off button on the Woods Remote that belongs to this remote control outlet. It definitely works for long range control of the outlet even through double or triple walls as for my Flowtron Diplomat Bug Zapping Light is plugged into this wonderful remote control outlet inside my garage where there are many walls before that electrical outlet. I highly recommend this Woods Outdoor Wireless Remote Control Outlet over many other brands such as Etekcity, BESTTEN & Fosman. I have tried all of them for other wireless outlet controls & did not like any of them like I love & enjoy the use of my Woods 3255WD. I am now attempted to purchase & try the Woods 13569 Indoor Wireless Remote Control Kit 3 - Pack to see if they are or work as good as this one from Woods.

Channel can be changed

A lot of the issues that I see in these reviews refer to the channel that the outlet is on. I received 2 outlets that we're on channel D. One remote could control both outlets. But that's not what I wanted. So I changed the channel on one to A instead. Took about 2 minutes. Open the remote and outlet and youll see a chip with 16 pins. On the back side of the board, you'll see that one of the pins has a scratch on the board on the trace that this pin is connected to. This determines the address. In the outlet, the trace is labeled A, B, C or D. In the remote it is not. But the locations are the same in the remote and outlet. To change the address: I was on D, so I shorted the C and D pins, which eliminated the scratched trace since they're now both connected to ground. This should be done on both the outlet and remote. Now scratch the trace if the address that you want, therefore disconnecting it from ground. Just make sure that you choose a different trace than the one you just shorted. The scratched trace is now the new channel. Repeat on the remote. It's very simple, but just do this at your own risk. When I get a chance I'll upload some photos. Now that the channel is changed, I love this outlet. Works great in multiple locations.
