DEWENWILS Wireless Remote Light Switch, Expandable Wireless Wall Switch Kit

This remote light switch is a very practical solution when you need to add a wall switch in a location where running new electrical wiring would be difficult or inconvenient. The installation is straightforward, and the wireless switch provides convenient control without having to open walls or run additional switch wiring. The response is quick and reliable, and the wall-mounted design gives it the appearance and convenience of a traditional light switch. This is especially useful for remodeling projects, older homes, or locations where adding a conventional wired switch would require extra work. Overall, a well-designed and convenient product that can save considerable installation time.

This is the easiest upgrade you can make to that old hall light with the pull chain and glass globe that catches bugs. I got a low profile light and wired this bad boy in myself when I swapped it out. Hardest part was fitting the wire caps into the space since my light choice had a short wire on it. Just had to stand on a high step to see it for peace of mind everything was connected. Mounted the switch to the frame of the closet the light is most used for. Looks fabulous and works perfectly. Best price for the huge update and ease of use. Easily connected to the fixture and the perfect fit. Sure would work as a mobile remote control but I love it mounted where it's needed most.

REVIEW UPDATED TO 5 STARS Turns on no problem. Turns off intermittently. Holding off button for 1 second oppose to a fast click helps, but most times I must click off 3-5 times before it happens. Switch and box are about 9 ft away (panty overhead light) Install was super easy, box is small enough to fit inside ceiling wire box. Switch feels cheap but price was cheap, no problems there ** Shortly after I left my review the company reached out and offered assistance- they sent me a new switch and instructions to program it. it now works flawlessly. super impressed with the level of customer service for such a cheap product.

It is so great that technology allows the placement of a light switch that does not require running wires to the switch, and for a very low price. This is my second install of one of these remote switches to this same light, the first having failed after a week (different brand, who was going to get a negative review until I realized while installing this one that I had made a wiring error the first go round). What I appreciate about the Dewenwils wireless switch kit is the size of the receiver. I needed it to fit within a Wiremold junction box (4th picture), which is quite shallow. The first kit I used had a little bit larger receiver and it was a bear getting it to fit. The other thing I appreciate is that the wiring is super straight forward. Two input wires, labeled on the device as such, and two output wires, also labeled. Very easy to hook up. The switch works well. (Or, worked well. See below.) The switch gets mounted to the wall and at quick glance looks like a standard light switch. On closer inspection, you can see that the switch is a bit fatter than a normal wall-mounted light switch, because it holds the electronics (see photo 3). The kit also comes with a mounting plate that gets fastened to the wall. The switch box has little pegs that slide into receiving cradles on the mounting plate. The Dewenwils kit has three pegs and cradles and the first kit I used has four. See photos 1 (Dewenwils) and 2 (from the old kit). Each mounting plate has screw holes for attaching to the wall. Notice in photo 2 that, in addition to the 4 pegs, there are a total of 5 holes, including the large ones at the top and bottom center. These are placed deliberately so the mounting plate can be screwed to an existing junction box. In photo 1 (Dewenwils), the mounting plate only has two little holes, on in the upper corner and another in the opposite lower corner. I was so pleased the first time I installed the remote switch (the one I fried) when I discovered that it attached so smoothly to my existing junction box. It just happened that I had a junction box in the perfect spot to mount the switch. It was so perfect! No longer would I have a blank cover plate on my wall, instead I'd have a switch that controlled the ceiling light, and oh so conveniently, the new switch attached just like screwing on a new cover plate. Well, and here's my complaint, the Dewenwils does not have the same aligned holes and therefore it became very complicated to mount. What a silly oversight. For me, the only location that really worked to place the light switch was over the existing junction box, but without the properly aligned holes, there was no way to get it to attach. It would have looked stupid to have this switch right next to a covered junction box, or right above it or below it, or awkwardly on some other wall. I thought to maybe attach the switch to the junction box cover with command strips, but that was going to look ridiculous. Such a simple thing as a couple of mounting holes was missing and I would have returned the item if I hadn't already gotten it all wired and functioning. This oversight on the manufacturer's part cost them a star. Fortunately for me, I was able to disassemble both switch boxes and swap the electronics from one box to the other. The innards are exactly the same and this was easy to do once I liberated a couple of screws. So now I have the new receiver in my light fixture that is communicating with the old switch and it is nicely mounted right where I want it to be, over the unused junction box on the wall. It is unfortunate that I had to do this, because the switch design isn't as good as that of Dewenwils, but I'm happy enough with the work around. If I knew about the mounting plate issue before I ordered it, I would have kept looking.

Worked perfectly to add a switch to my bathroom fan light. No problem fitting the module inside the fan’s built in j-box, without the need to crawl into the attic. Works great.

Doesn't work. I wired it in correctly (black to hot and white to neutral on the light side, red to hot and blue to natural on the power input side, ground to the light), the tab is out of the remote. I figured, maybe it's not pre-programmed (because some units may not be according to the instructions), so I followed the steps to program the transmitter, however no matter how long I hold down the program button (3 or 6 seconds) the light will not flash on the transmitter. I got my test light to ensure that the transmitter is receiving power, it is. My input voltage is 120AC, 60Hz and my light is less than 200W led. This product simply doesn't work and I'm returning it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Works great! Extremely easy to install. It's an amazing unit!

Works well once you get it installed, no issues with the remote or box after installed. I might be naive about electrical issues, but when I read "no wiring" in the description I thought that meant you wouldn't have to do anything with wires which was not the case at all. You have to connect the box with wires to the wires connected to your light\fan ( i connected mine to a ceiling fan). This involved taking off the cover over the ceiling fan and light, unscrewing the caps on the wire connections, stripping down the wires a little, connecting the box wires to the fan wires, and screwing the caps back on. Then, I couldn't fit the fan wire cover back on bc the box for this remote switch was so big the cover doesn't fit over it. The wires were too short for me to be able to push it up into the ceiling hole, which is not the products fault, but something I was trying to avoid dealing with by buying something that was "no wiring", and this is definitely not that. ( you can see in the pics how it looks now until I figure out how to get the cover on somehow) Also, it will only turn off the fan, not the light, so I still have to sort use the wall switch and the pull cord for the light. ( it will turn the light on) I got it for the fan specifically, so this is not the end of the world for me, but just something to keep in mind if you're considering buying one. Emits a feelable amount of heat from the box once wired up, not anything I'm concerned about, its not much, but if that is something you don't want, be aware. Would not buy again, but its already installed so I'm just going to deal with it.

Excelente producto

Son prácticos, funcionan bien, solo antes de colocar el apagador, deben verificar que enciendan y prenda bien por qué la señal se ve interrumpida fácilmente.

Este interruptor cumplió todas mis expectativas. Entrega a tiempo, el primero llegó descompuesto, pero lo repusieron de inmediato y el reemplazo funcionó perfecto. Creo que no cumple con la distancia que marca el control remoto, pero coloque el interruptor más cerca y no fue nada que no pudiera solucionarse.

Muy fácil de instalar.

Muy buen sistema de luz inteligente. Tarda un poco en prender y apagar pero bien
