I have programed my remote several times, what I don't understand is what is the typical range on the remote? 1 foot?

great little gadget: it opens the door perhaps 1/3 of a block away... i can't imagine what the problem is, unless it's simply defective.

These have terrible range. If I am standing just right with my head twisted a bit to the left and my left foot turned just so, I can get it to work from outside the garage. Worst remotes I have ever seen

I bought two of these and they both have terrible ranges... about 12 feet. And it takes about 3 seconds AFTER the button is pressed for the door to start opening. Is your garage door opener using Intellicode I?

Don't know what to tell you Craig. I know my kids open the garage way before they get to the driveway, so the range is at least a couple hundred feet. Are you sure the little wire that acts as the receiver on the remote itself is not blocked in some way? I know I have mine hanging down and it seems to get the signal from the remote pretty easily.

hi. i spoke to panasonic according to them the range is about 50 feet; but from my experience it depends a lot in the surroundings, for instance some remotes can cause interference and shorten the distance.

It's not as far as it says. I've use it out about 25 yards or so. It must be off the ground for the remote to pick it up also. It works good for the price though.

This kit can only run one remote and the range is approximately 10 feet, depending on battery life and obstruction in the area.

I have a Frigidaire 15,000 btu unit, about 3-4 years old. The remote that came with it was terrible. I bought the one you are asking about, programmed it in about 1 minute and it works perfectly. Never a problem, which is important as the unit is about 10 feet high. That has been my experience.

if i'm off to the side of the fan it only has a range of about 6 ft and that's when i'm standing up and the remote is slightly lower than the bottom of the fan (where the eye is that detects the remote). if i'm standing directly in front of the fan it's range is probably 8 to 9 feet. bottom line is ... the remote is kinda cheesy, it should have a range of at least 14 feet, closer to the size of an avg. room.

I'm sorry man I really don't know I straight wired mine and I will tell you this if your doing the wireless remote take you a piece of speaker wire and tie it in to your antenna wire and extend that thing out it took my range form 60 ft to 150

I'm sorry I misunderstood. I am using my siren with a transmitter an door sensor. I have mounted my siren 35ft from transmitter. I 'm not using the remote.

According to manual, the 'max wire length from digital timer to all installed remotes cannot exceed 300 ft'http://waterheatertimer.org/Programmable.html#vpt24

We did not have any problem w/ distance. We had one unit in our detached garage. Programing with DISH was more difficult.

Although I haven't done a range limit check I have verified they meet my needs. Here's what I have done: Verified remote's operation to 75+ feet from outside with relay inside house. Verified operation inside house with as many closed doors between remote and relay board as possible, again to appx 75 feet. All that I purchased worked every time. All testing was done without the remote's antenna extended. I have no reason to believe they wouldn't work much farther then 75 feet.

I unfortunately had issues with the remote function. My 1st one worked well, until I dropped it on floor/carpet. It did not require line of sight. My replacement & 3rd unit remote did not work at all. I recently purchased a CTC 43055 Digital Thermostat 1H/1C Non-Programmable with Remote Control. It works very well, but range is limited to approx. 50-60 ft & functions thru walls.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77etbCkjexs - It really is a simple set up, so it is probably a defective remote and you should get a replacement.

Remote controls the volume but if you go further than 4 feet remote won't work.

for the remotes to work you must have the light facing you. remote works up to about 30ft. if you have more than one light close to each other the remote may change both at the same time. jlboutdoors

I got this for my daughter she uses it from about 30 - 50 feet away in her car with the windows down. My Father in law had some problems with that same remote new. He took it back and the replacement worked great. Probably got a bad unit.

Great and unique question. I do not have answer for this, perhaps try asking same question in google search. Best of luck. However this remote is cheap and you get what you pay for. If I was buying again, I rather pay the double amount and get quality product, as opposed to this weak ass remote (weak in sense range)
