Hi I would like to use this for completely different application. So my question is does the remote turn on the unit. If so from how far??

No you have to manually turn on each unit nether can be turned on remotely.

I live in Florida, so I only use it for the look. The unit gives you on option of light or light/heat. The remote only power it on/off.

This switch doesn't auto-select (that is why I bought it). I use a universal remote and I don't want it switching if a device is turned on.

Yes, It is one a best device remote switches I've used with a range of over 75 feet through walls and it doesn't toggle off and on with one button, it has two buttons clearly marked on and off, I have used it on lights, computer equipment and a fan which you were asking about. You will be satisfied. Same battery for over a year without replacing. Only negative I have found is it has ears around the plugin port so you cant use it on a device that has one of those voltage inverters without an extension cord because those won't fit between the plugin ears.

Yes you can use a universal remote, but it doesn't help the range - you still need to be about 4 feet away...

Hi Kay....I did purchase this remote, but returned it because it did not work with what I wanted to control. Sorry

There's no remote. One switch to make the unit either receive a signal or transmit a signal. I use it only to recieve so it's essentially a "set it and forget it" type of situation.

Thanks for the info. In case you were able to configure successfully, please do let us knw... Might come in handy, in case the remote falters. I've not had any issues with the remote ever since I started using it... Hope it stays the same... :)

The unit is not programed for the remote. They are matched up so loss of power does not affect it. It works right out of the box!

Mine works 20 to 25 ft. away. I have been very happy with it. You have to follow the initial calibration procedure exactly or the remote won't work properly or probably not at all. If I remember (?) the procedure included my other remote so they are calibrated together.

OMG! Thanks! I knew it had to be something simple that i was missing. Thanks again for your input! I had already pretty much given up on the idea of having a working remote before reading your post today. Im sure you probably read my question and thought "is this person serious?" lol

This remote control has very short working distance. About 3 meter maybe...I have same trouble.

Do you have the unit plugged in? The remote only works when it is plugged in. I do not have mine plugged it and it will automatically switch whenever I turn a different device on. I.e. If I'm on cable and want to play Xbox it will switch when I turn the Xbox on.

I have not used it for that application. I have spent a good bit of time learning the functions that it offers. It's basically an on/off switch. You can wire it into anything just as you would a switch. You need to find a place to connect it that has hot, ground, AND neutral. It will not work without a neutral.

I have never had that situation.. But, the units work off regular 110V. outlets that are "hot". If the units are energized, the remote will work, weather from your car or inside your house.

No you can only turn on using remote No batteries in unit that plugs in only remote
