Tools and Hardware Reviews of Skylink WS-100/WS-100N Wireless Remote Control, Channel A
Customer Review: Good range for remote
Summary: 5 Stars
Works every time with one push of button and inside home aiming out the window to the switch which is 45 feet and around side of the wood shed. I use it to turn off a small pump that pumps water out of rain barrel to a series of bamboo pipes that are split with water running from pump and back to barrel for a constant water feature for the local birds. I did leave it run 24 hours but decided the birds sleep so why run it. Also when it freezes I lose all the water in the 55 gal barrel which ends up as beautiful ice sculpture but then when thaws the birds have no water. Now when I know its going to be very cold I shut it down from the kitchen window rather than go out in the cold and pull the plug. I have ordered two more of them, another A channel and a B channel,I have a bird bath that has a pump in it too on the way to the fore mentioned pump so will not use the 24 hr timer I bought for that and put the A channel so both will be turned on with one remote.Customer Review: Exactly the right item
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a method to control the lights in my backyard that were mounted on my shed. I couldn't find anything to do this until I stumbled across the Skylink. The plug on the lights are inside the shed about 50' away from the patio door. I bought the skylink on the hope it would work without my having to rewire the lights. I plugged the Skylink into the recepticle closest to the lights plug. I said a little prayer and plugged the lights into the Skylink. I walked back into the house pressed the remote control button and the lights came on. Since then, every time the button is pressed and the lights either come on or go off as needed. This ranks right up there with sliced bread for me. If you need a remote control for a power source, Skylink is the way to go. Just remember that there is a limit on the wattage it supports. Check your need and if its in limits, go for the Skylink. You won't be disappointed. I won't hesitate if I need another one.Customer Review: Quick Remote Solution for my Fountain
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great, quick and inexpensive way to put the on/off switch right in your hand. I recently installed a small fountain in my landscape near my front door. I ran a new GFI'd electric outlet previously in expectation of a fountain there, but wanted something besides the usual timer for controlling it. After hooking up the fountain... Christmas time and the usual exterior seasonal lights and reindeer were setup. I decided to use this remote solution for those too. Love it! .... no more running outside in the cold to unplug the Christmas lights late at night.
I do have this under my eaves. I definitely feel more comfortable keeping this in a relatively dry location for an exterior solution. So if you have that type of indoor/outdoor situation this is the ticket for you.
Customer Review: Best inexpensive remote I've used - great range
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best remote of it's type and cost range that I've used. While I bought it for Christmas lights, the remote for my central vacuum just failed and rather than spend over $125 for a replacement I decided to try this and it works great. My central vacuum is in one corner of my basement and even at the farthest corner of the 2nd floor the remote works every time. I am exceeding the rated load somewhat for short periods of time (the vacuum isn't on for more than 10 minutes at a time) with no problems but I'm keeping a close eye on it.
It is true that it comes preset as either channel A or B so make sure you know which channel you are buying if you buy a 2nd, and of course you can't have more than two.
Customer Review: Perfect for holiday lights
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought two of the wireless remote controllers and they are great. The remote control works just like a garage door opener. You point it at the devise and push the button. It's as simple as that. I use one controller for the outdoor lights so I don't have to run outside on a dark, cold night to unplug them. I use the other for the Christmas tree to avoid tripping over the presents to unplug it. I realize some people may use timers for their holiday lights, but my schedule varies and I only like leaving lights on when I am at home and I always turn them off when I go to sleep.
This remote controller would also make a great exchange gift because it has universal appeal.
