Very Very Good but not Great, by itself

I bought the Freewire product with the intention of putting all my christmas lights on the system. I liked the idea of not having to go to multiple recepticles to turn the lights on and off every night.

If you only want to cover a small area, 1 FreeWire system will suffice. But, if you are only going to use 1 system, you will find that the hub needs an unobstructed line of sight to the receivers and the further away the hub is, the less reliable the product becomes.

But, when you add multiple FreeWire systems (Hubs, primarily), the product works much better. I got outstanding results when I put hubs in seperate rooms. The remote doesn't need line of sight to activate the hub (it just broadcasts a signal), but the hub needs to be in rather close proximity with the receivers to be very effective. The more obstructions between the hub and receiver, the closer the hub needs to be.

All in all I was able to put 85% of my lights (all the ones on the first story and Front yard) on the freewire system. It was really pleasant this year to control all the lights with the press of a button instead of relying on a bunch of timers.

Excellant way to control outside X10 devices. This kit is actually cheaper than purchasing the outside modules seperately if you can find them.

Works great for Christmas lights

I used these for my Christmas tree lights and outside lights. Set up was very easy and very convenient to turn on and off. They performed as advertised and I would recommend them hightly.

Good buy

The device does what it says and works very well. The only con is that you can only use the indor receivers with incandecent lighting and I have energy efficient bulbs thoughout the house so I was forced to use the outdoor receivers indoor.

good product

There is an excellent concept behind this product. I love the design and the functionalities especially the house code feature. There is a little problem I encountered. The outdoor switch doesn't work when the server and the switch are on different circuit group(under different switch in the electric box). I don't know what caused that. I haven't spent a lot of time on that yet. Problem might get away if I leave that switch on the plug long enough to charge cell that keeps the memory of the code.
