Silly question, but will the remote work through a wall or is it line of sight only?

I've never tried it from another room. If the room it's in is larger than 10x12 go with a higher wattage. This ac is for a small office

Yes. You have to leave the wall switch on for the remote to work. The wall switch is independent of the remote. You can turn everything on and off with the wall switch. The remote only works when the wall switch is on.

I believe the remote is supposed to have a 75ft range under ideal conditions. In practice, ours (outside, with no walls in the way) seem to have an effective remote range of 40-50ft. The motion detection range, though, may even be better than the 25ft claimed range.

Only Bluetooth remotes can do that and this is not a bluetooth remote. However when I was messing around with this remote testing a pile of Rokus I had, I noticed the roku was seeing it from bounce around. As in it wasnt a direct line of sight but 1 wall bounce. I was only 6ft away though.

It should, as long as there isn't any metal in the walls, like rebar. I can't try it, but I have a radio/radar background, and plain cement block doesn't interfere. In our house we have a set between the bedroom at one end and the kitchen at the other end, 50 feet away through several walls, and it works fine.

It requires an open HDMI port on the TV and on whatever device you wish to send the signal from. I'm not sure about the line of sight, since I'm just sending to the other side of my living room. I will say though, it is a great little device.

I took the remote outside and placed it down by a cement step and it didn't work. I don't have any cement walls so I don't know how it would work.

I have mine in the family room and it has to go through a brick wall that surrounds the patio as well. Once in awhile it does not go off. But other than that it works great. But it should work if its not to far from the transmitter.

No you can't thru wall's , you need to be facing the robosapien in order to use it

Remote controls have a way to change their particular code so you can have several remotes working without them interfering with each other. There should be a 4 (or more) position small switch in the remote and the wall unit. these have to be set the same on each remote. READ the directions.

I mounted mine to the wall, but it can be used like a remote, so long as you are in range.FYI It looks just like a regular toggle switch, though the contact is not great and doesn't switch on/off everytime.

I use mine from the living room to control a device in the garage, so through one wall. It works perfectly.

No, it can't. If you want to extend (or possibly go through a wall), then you'll need to purchase something like an extender (http://www.solidsignal.com/cview.asp?mc=00&m;=Next%20Generation%20Home%20Products&b=Products) from Signal. When doing something like you want/need, you sometimes have to experiment. You can copy & past the link I provide into the address bar of your browser OR, just search on Google etc. for a remote extender. Good luck and I know you'll work this out.

I am not sure about a wall, but we had it in the carport and kept the remote in the livingroom. There was a wall between them, but also two large windows with blinds and it worked well.

While it is an IR remote you don't need true line of sight like you do for a TV remote control. Part of the reason it is only rated for indoor play- in my experience I just needed to not have the remote control behind something- as long as it is out you don't have to worry about aiming it at the car.

Its a line-of-sight, infra red control so it won't go through walls or ceilings. Radio Shack used to sell a pyramid shaped, radio based switch which would work from floor to floor (I used this back in the late 80's). Don't know if they still sell that system though.

it will works through a thin wall if the remote is very close to the sensor
