Tools and Hardware Reviews of Leviton 6696-W Anywhere Switch, RF Remote Decora Rocker 3-Way Switch, White
Customer Review: Good company
Summary: 3 Stars
Received in less time than expected...was just what I ordered and at a fair price...the only complant I have is the range is not what I epected...I have the remote switch loacated 15 feet away from the tranmitter and it says in the insturctions you can leave the black wire (Ant.) hang down inside the wall but if I do this the remote does not work...I ran it out and layed across the top of the switch plate and it work fine...other than that it is a great product...would buy from them again...Customer Review: Incandescent only
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this on the recommendation of another who seemed really happy with it. I have not used it. I returned it as the package made it clear it was for incandescent lights only and our application was fluorescent. The 3 stars are not for the product as much as they are for the description at Amazon which did not, IMO, make it clear it was incandescent only. The good news is that returning a product in a situation like this is very convenient with Amazon. 5 stars for the return process!Customer Review: Absolute Garbage

I have gone through two of these--the first one, which didn't work at all, was replaced by Leviton. The second one worked for a month or two and then stopped. Leviton is refusing to do anything, despite repeated calls. The company simply does not stand by its products. I've been told to buy the much more expensive (by 4 times) product the company now sells, as it is "much better." Meanwhile, I'm stuck with this lemon. Do NOT buy.Customer Review: Installation nightmare
Summary: 1 Stars
The swith fits too tightly into a standard wall mount box. I had to file the box down to get it in. Unfortunately the box was so tight that the antena wire got caught between the switch an the box. It shorted out and destroyed the switch. I now have a $27 hunk of plastic. Don't try to mount this in remodel box. In fact I would not mount it in any metal box as the metal acts like a shield for the signal from the transmitter.Customer Review: Works perfectly as described.
Summary: 5 Stars
I installed this kit in an entry room where the light switch was clear across from the front door. It works perfectly with zero interference. A slimmer remote switch would have been nicer, but that would have meant some kind of watch batteries vs. the 4 AAA batteries it uses (which are easily replaceable). I wanted to buy a kit from a reputable company vs. "as seen on tv" junk. What more is there to say, buy it, it works.
