RunLessWire Simple Wireless Light Switch Kit

SMSM: The media could not be loaded.  I ordered the runlesswires light switch so that I could put in a second light switch in my garage.

I've got a three car garage and of course the builder only puts the minimum amount of lights in there, never enough light. I could’ve taken the time and went and bought the additional wire, fished it down the wall to the one light switch and across (try to find all the studs to go through) the garage. Then run invto another light switch or go on the outside of the drywall, which would not look good.

Then I found this switch. I looked at a lot of different, so-called smart switches, that would require you to run off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and even have batteries that you'd need to change in the future for your light switches.

This does none of that. It doesn't require any battery, Bluetooth, wifi, etc

The kit that I purchased came with two switches and one receiver.

The receiver simply wires into your existing house wiring. According to the instructions mine didn't require a ground hook up. Then that's it. You then mount the switches wherever you want to. I mounted the 1st switch over the receiver where my original...

Ernie: It's a little speedy, but considering the work and expense of drywall work to move a switch, wires and all, it's a good value. Works perfectly and easy to install.

C. CoxC. Cox: I was called to fix the three way light circuit and found that only a two conductor cable was ran to the downstairs switch. This was the best option VS breaking open the wall plaster and paint if I ran a three conductor cable to correct the problem. The system is a little pricey but you get what you pay for no batteries needed for operation or to replace. A very happy 😃 home owner for a convenience restored.

Steve Beck: I really like the battery-less operation (self-generating electricity) switches to actuate the load. And I like the fact that like regular wired switches, these rocker switches don't require you to press in a specific area of the switch to get it to actuate. The system is not cheap, but it works well and certainly easier than running wires to a 4-way switch series. The only minor thing is aesthetic - the rocker switches stay in the middle position vs. being "up" (off) or "down" (on) as do wired rocker switches.

Jim B.: First of all, I am a retired radar systems engineer, and I am familiar with the RF frequency being used to switch this controller. I only recently installed the switches and associated controller, so I cannot claim knowledge of their reliability over time, but from what I have seen so far, as well as discussed with the Runlesswire company, I think that this switch/controller combo is great and very well thought out. On the negative side, let me say that attempting to install the switch and controller within the same box is tough. I had to add a small extension to the box. In my case this was an external box by my pool so it was no big deal. This outside box was metal, so the control signal was not about to get into the box from the remote switch without my adding a way for the antenna to be exposed. I added a short (2”) threaded PVC tube with end cap to extend the antenna, so this was another reason that I needed some room in the box to put the antenna in position. This is not required if using a plastic box. I wanted the remote switch up at my house and placed it in an existing box that had been used with the original remote switch, installed over 10 years ago using an older...

Amazon Customer: The controller takes up a lot of room in the fixture box, especially a renovation box. That limits the type of LED light that can be used as many are designed to project into the fixture box.
