Tools and Hardware Reviews of Leviton 6696-W Anywhere Switch, RF Remote Decora Rocker 3-Way Switch, White
Customer Review: Perfect solution!
Summary: 5 Stars
The only light switch in the walk-thru laundry room in our new house was where you entered in from the garage. You had to walk across the room, in the dark, to turn the light on and off, if you were entering from the kitchen hallway. We tried a motion-sensor switch that drove us crazy! Everytime you walked past the laundry room doorway, the light would turn on and stay on for five minutes before turning itself off, day and night! Grrrrrr!!! Then we discovered the LEVITON 6696-W ANYWHERE SWITCH! Yaaaaay!!! It was the perfect solution! Easy to install, looks great, works great! Problem SOLVED! Every time I use it, I smile! Great product, great price! (I checked around!) =O)Customer Review: Product was defective
Summary: 2 Stars
The switch & remote were within 10 feet of each other (maximum range said to be 50'). They were even in line of sight. It worked marginally the day I installed it (requiring me to hold the remote switch for 2 seconds to get it to work). Went on vacation & came back a week later, and it failed to work entirely. I changed the batteries, re-adjusted the antennae, and went through trouble shooting with the company, but the unit was deemed defective. I returned it for a refund. Other reviews said it did not work reliably, so I never purchased a new one.Customer Review: Works For My Stairwell
Summary: 4 Stars
This product comes in two pieces: a wired switch and a battery powered remote switch. I installed the wired portion at the top of a stairwell and the remote about 15' away at the bottom.
At first it didn't work, but after I made sure the antenna was dangling in the wall, it worked fine.
My only complaints:
- the wired switch doesn't fit flush into my small (~50 yrs) old metal electrical box; it sticks out about 1 cm
- compact fluorescent bulbs flicker when the switch is off; I had to change to a tungsten bulb
Customer Review: Switch works great with "dimmable" CFL bulb
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this switch for the kitchen ceiling light because the refrigerator completely blocked the wall light switch. The switch works great. We attached the battery switch to the wall on the other side of the kitchen. As mentioned in other reviews a CFL light in the ceiling fixture flickered when the switch was turned off. We bought a GE "dimmable" CFL bulb and that solved the flickering problem.
Would recommend this switch, it is great for relocating a switch without re-wiring or adding a second light switch in a more convenient location.
Customer Review: Please Don't Buy this Product
Summary: 1 Stars
Got one of these; didn't work. Got another; didn't work. Searched several non-Amazon sites and found a Heath-Zenith unit that, after I re-researched the Amazon site, found it buried in its bowls. Obtained this product (from Amazon), installed it and it works GREAT! The unit is Heath-Zenith SL-6133; why Amazon doesn't have this on its primary search venue is beyond me and disingenious. Yo! Amazon...save your clients the trouble and yourself the return shipping fees; put Heath-Zenith SL-6133 on your primary site and delete Levitron.
