Will this work through walls/windows? What is the range?

I'm not sure what the range is. I am using mine in my living room. I went down the hall 3 rooms away and it still worked.

yes, it works through walls and windows. It seems to be a radio signal and works to about 30 feet at my house.I have it plugged into a protected outside outlet and use it from inside the house to operate a fountain pump.

It works great! I have lights hung out by my hot tub. I use this to turn them on and off . It works threw windows, doors, etc. the range is very good! 50ft. You won't be disappointed!

It will work through walls and ceilings. But it does not perform at a long range, despite its claim. It may have something to do with interference from what is behind the walls or ceilings. Mine works perfectly to turn on electric from approx. 25 ft to 40 ft. But, it will not turn off unless it is within 15 ft. Why? I cannot explain.

Windows certainly. Mine are about 50 ft away. Just because I am the way I am I cover them with back garbage bags.

I have not yet checked the total amount of range but they work through windows and walls. They save a person of having to bend down and plug in lights and from going outside in the cold and unplugging or plugging in the christmas lights. I also use one at my computer to turn off the modem at the end of the day. they claim a range of 80 feet. Wow! I just checked mine out in the back yard and they will work over 100 feet, also they will work even through a brick wall. Hope this helps.

I've never tested out the range on it when I measured distances. I use it to turn my pool pump off and on when I'm vacuuming the pool. I know it'll work through an aluminum deck and across the pool (28'). I'd guesstimate that it's range is at least twice that, maybe more. It's a radio based transmitter, so it should work through walls, etc. I have my outside sockets on inside switches but if you're thinking of using this for holiday decorations I'd say it's worth a shot. Good luck!

It works through 3 rooms at our house. We have plaster walls, too. The trick is getting it to connect/link with your computer first, though.

If it is absolutely line of sight with no obstructions it may work. Signal attenuation and multipath reflections as a result of going through walls may prove to be a challenge if you are expecting a perfect picture.

It should work between a basement and other floors of a house. I don't have a basement, but it has good range and works through walls and between upstairs and downstairs rooms.

Does work through wall to my garage but not through metal! In plain sight no obstructions it works from over 100 feet!

The remote does not work well if large objects made of metal are between you! Does work through wall to my garage and in plain sight it works from around 100+feet!

It does not work through walls, although the range is decent in a room it's still line of sight.

Yes sir, it can!!! We actually own two of these. We use one of ours "through the wall" in our front room, and our second one we use "through the window" in our bedroom. They are both fantastic, and extremely reliable!!! I hope this helps.

I've not been able to get it to work thru 55' plus a wall/open window. I've switched back to the old style PR-US2 which says it's not good for as far, but it works better in our space.

it works through windows I am not sure about walls but it has a fair amount of range it works all the way across my half acre property

Yes,I use it in a distance between TV's about 7m. and through one wall and door.

The range depends on what is between the transmitter and receiver. For example, a reinforced concrete wall or one with a foil vapor barrier will reduce it considerably. In my case they are separated by about 50 feet with only interior walls between them. The only way to check is to install the device and see if it works.

it may work intermittently. I dont think it would be reliable. The walls will definitely cause problems at that distance.

Our units worked thru walls and well as ceiling/floor for upstairs/downstairs location.Many factors influence the range; such as battery strength, density of obstruction, distance between the transmitter and receiver so your effective range will likely depend on your circumstances. We find our units worked well for my dad to locate his cane every time in our home.

I haven't tried it through walls but it does work behind cabinets, behind a couch and in a media center.

It is not very accurate and it basically has to be in view of the motion sensor. It won't work thru walls and it has a range of about 30 to 50 feet
