Tools and Hardware Reviews of Skylink WS-100/WS-100N Wireless Remote Control, Channel A
Customer Review: Works great
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this product to control a flourescent light fixture in my husband's workshop which is in a covered patio area outside. The switch works great, exactly as promised. The nice thing was that Amazon would ship this to our location which is in Puerto Rico, & they won't ship many electronic items here, so if you live in a hard-to-ship-to area, this may be your best solution. The remote works from a good distance away & we hung the unit upside down as per instructions - also a good idea if you mount it outside so water doesn't get inside. Now we can turn the light on/off from inside the house. I heartily recommend this product.Customer Review: Does the job!
Summary: 5 Stars
Works as advertised. Simple to install and use. Price is low compared to competitor products and quality appears to be equal. I may buy another one or two for use in different locations.
I understand all units of this model - maybe the whole brand - all work on the same frequency, so independent operation of additional power switches within the range of one remote signal is impossible. To be fair, I don't know if any competitors offer a choice in frequency either, so this product may be as good as the entire market offers - especially in this price range.
I works reliably and I like it.
Customer Review: Multiple uses, works great, just what we wanted
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually purchased this over 2 years ago to use for a secondary pond pump that runs a small waterfall in the summer. We could click this button and turn on the waterfall if we had guests. Worked great. This year, we finally put up holiday lights outdoors and plugged everything into this - and it's PERFECT!!!! We stand at the window after supper and countdown with our toddler and the lights "magically" turn on - then just a quick click and they are off before bed. No fiddling with a timer, especially the holiday days themselves when we have the lights on all day and night. Awesome little gadet.Customer Review: Almost "OK" - wait a second...

This requires a small 12 volt battery (many of these things do; I think It could have been made to operate with an easy-to-find 9v battery). The battery compartment of the remote has a flimsy lid and installing the battery between two metal retainer prongs had me get out my swiss army knife.
The main unit seems to be solidly constructed. It's not 100% solid sate -- you can hear a relay click when switching it on and off. It takes about a second to recover form an on OR off state. In other words, you must wait one second to turn it on again after it's been switched off. And vice versa.
Customer Review: A very good product

I Purchased this item to control an outdoor fountain. The distance from our front deck to the fountain is about 50ft. With the one exception noted below, this item has worked everytime on the first click and without interference to other remote controls in use. In my initial temporary installation of the unit, I was not careful to install the remote vertically with the plug-in receptical down as noted in the instructions. Water got into the unit during a heavy rain and the unit stopped working. After drying it out, it worked just fine. This is one reliable, tough product, and well worth the price.
