Tools and Hardware Reviews of Skylink WS-100/WS-100N Wireless Remote Control, Channel A
Customer Review: Good unit.
Summary: 4 Stars
Ordered two of these from Amazon. Figured I may find a couple of uses for them. However, they are all on the same frequency. No way to change.
So, if you have two applications within 100-150' of each other, one will turn the other on and vice-versa.
No big deal as now I have one unit driving my alarm with two transmitters.
Another quirk I want to share with you is that the receiver (big box), must be mounted vertically on a wall with the mains jack (what you'll plug your device into) pointed down! So, I guess that means you cannot leave it laying on the floor (?).
My only guess for this requirement is that there is a mercury-whetted relay inside that needs the mercury at a certain point. Cannot hazard a guess of what may happen if mounted other than their requirements (?)
This would be a good thing for the mfg. to touch upon in their blog above.
Otherwise, good unit and a good value.

What can I say ... works as advertised. I installed at the outlet inside my well cover, plugged my 2 low voltage landscape lighting transformers into it and now can control from the house which is about 80 feet away. Works flawlessly. I couldn't be happier. Only wish I could get one for the rear of the house too, but there is no way to distinguish between multiples, as there is only one frequency.Customer Review: Great Remote at a Great Price!

This is a _very_ functional unit. I have the Skylink plugged into an outlet within my outdoor metal generator housing! for use as an on/off switch for a wireless camera system. The Skylink is 40' away from my window and with the blinds closed and works perfectly! My only two minor complaints are the plug wire from the base unit is only about 3 inches long and there is no LED on/off light indicator on the base unit. They claim 100' range but that probably would need line of sight. This unit does have -22 degree low temp operating range, we'll see this winter! I Highly recommend this unit!Customer Review: Great for outdoor decorations
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this so I could turn off Christmas inflatable decorations on windy days and still leave the other decorations lit. I could not mount it so it was placed on the ground under the inflatable in a ziplock baggie. We had no moisture problems. We did often need to hit the remote repeatedly to get it to turn on, but I'll attribute that to being under the decoration instead of mounted.
