Misleading Name
It maybe just me, but when I saw the title of the product saying "3 Piece Shelf Rack", I thought I would get 3 of these things in mail, I was shocked to just get only one. The shock comes form the fact that at the price at which this thing is selling, you can get both the receiver and remote!

I bought it at this high price only because I thought it was a 3 pack. If you want just one, the Receiver + Remote package deal comes cheaper. Just go for that.

The unit by itself works very well though.

The Perfect Solution!
I had a non-working switch in my newly purchased condo. It was terribly annoying to walk into the room, hit the switch and have nothing happen. And before you think of telling me to check the outlets - I did. No outlets worked with the switch either. It simply was there for show only - no wires were connected. After asking some home repair people, I learned that adding wiring after the fact was a large project. This switch solved the problem very inexpensively and with no workmen - only a screwdriver, a wire cutter and about 10 minutes of my time. I did get a friend with a voltage-tester to make sure there was nothing live in the wires. Then I removed the old switch by unscrewing the switch plate and cutting the dead wires. This little switch fit right where the bad one was.

A note to GE: 5 minutes of the 10 was spent opening the very hard plastic these products were packaged in. Whoever invented that stronger-than-steel, environmentally unfriendly plastic should be taken out to the woodshed and SHOT!

The second part of this was even easier. I plugged the receptor into an open outlet, plugged a lamp into that and made sure the numbers agreed on the two devices (so they could talk). And Voila! It worked the very first time! I also found the directions easy to follow, which is rare these days.

This was so much fun, I started getting ideas. I now have a switch upstairs that turns on a light in the kitchen, so I can turn it on at night if I decide to go down for a snack and don't want to turn on the hall light. I have a list of other things I want to switch from unusual places. It works even if there is a chair in the way - totally cool!!!

I'm always showing it off, because I feel so smart for solving the problem myself for practically no money. I can't think of anything (other than the package) I didn't absolutely love! It was the perfect solution!

Good but pricey
Worked well for what I wanted it for once I got the right transmitters. There is SmarHome and SmartHome Plus, don't mix and match. Buy all of one kind, SmartHome Plus is the newer version. Usually sold in pairs 1 each (transmitter and receiver). I wanted one Receiver and 3 Transmitters making it much more difficult to find. I got a mix of SmarHome and SmartHome Plus from 2 different venders, they weren't compatible. So buy all you get from the same vendor and make sure they are compatible before you buy. Stanley makes a similar product for less but is harder to find, around $15. for a pair.
