Tools and Hardware Reviews of GE 51151 Home Lighting Control Kit

Customer Review: Badly flawed product.
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought this because I already had several of the receiving modules. I managed to get the system to work. Four of the individual channel switches worked when i pressed them with the pads of my fingers. The other four channels required that i press with the fingernail. Channel four would only shut off using the master control switch which sequentially will turn off (or on) all of the channels.

The display must be viewed from above, otherwise everything shows up. All channels appear to be on, the battery is low, the time is 88:88:88, etc.

The package came with two receivers. One of the receivers only received on channel 1 even when it was set to 2-8 . Naturally I used this for my first channel. The other receiver worked on channels 1-7. When set to channel 8 it could only be activated through channel 7.

I had one of these master units about 8 years ago and it went through batteries quickly. The unit comes with an AC adaptor. My older unit also had trouble activating the receivers so I tossed it years ago. The new unit works much better. I am currently using it with 5 channels and plan to add two more. One of the receivers is 35 feet away and the signal has to pass through 2 walls. It works.

If I had not had five receiving modules, this kit would have been returned. I don't recommend purchasing it.

I also bought the "GE 51137 Switch Kit, 3 Piece Wall Ceiling Light with Socket Adaptor-Wall Mount" from Amazon. This worked well but I don't know what they consider to be the third piece. I ordered three of the wall mount transmitters directly from Smarthome.
