Leviton VZ0SR-1LZ Vizia Matching Switch Remote to 120-Volt AC Dimmers/Fan Speed Control and VZS15-1L Switch with LED, White, Ivory, Light Almond Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I installed new ceiling fans and lights in our bedrooms, and to make everything Title 24 compliant (I'm in California) wired the lights to occupancy sensors. In the master bedroom I had to move the occupancy sensor to another wall so the sensor could actually "see" the interior of the room. I placed this switch (the VZ0SR-1LZ) into the original junction box by the door and wired it as a remote switch for the occupancy sensor. The setup works well.
Construction seems to be reasonably solid. It should last a while if not abused. The switch looks like any Decora switch, but has a green LED underneath, which makes it a little easier to find in the dark. However, from some vantage points the LED is obscured by the switch part that sticks out.
Some things to be aware of: while this looks like a regular switch, it's not. This is a pushbutton. You push the bottom (the part that sticks out) to toggle the circuit on and off. This isn't a problem as far as I'm concerned, but if you have kids or careless household members that like to whack regular Decora switches when turning them on or off, they could break this because they don't realize it's not a regular switch.
Also, remember that this is a *remote*, and will not operate as a switch by itself. In order to use this you need to have a compatible switch wired to it.

Leviton 6696-W Anywhere Switch, RF Remote Decora Rocker 3-Way Switch, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this so that I could control the outdoor light on our unattached storage room from inside the house. I simply had to replace the existing light switch in the storage room with the remote controlled one (receiver), and I mounted the battery operated transmitter switch in the house near the back door.
At first I had a little trouble with getting the transmitter to turn on the light. On the receiver there's a little wire that acts as an antenna. This needs to be placed so that it dangles down the inside of the wall, and mine had become bunched up. The switch worked great after adjusting the antenna.
The range is about 50 feet, and it dimishes somewhat for each wall or metal door that the signal may have to pass through. Before purchasing this product, I would recommend making a rough measurement between the switch you want to control and the place where you want to mount the remote. If it's around or under 50 feet, this switch should work great for you!

Leviton WSS0S-P0G Wireless Self-Powered Remote Switch, Gray Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm adding the reviews to the other components too, as based on my original writeup on the heart of the system, the WSS10 receiver.
Leviton WSS10-GDW Wireless Momentary Switch Relay, No Neutral, 120/277v, 1-Pole, White
The WSS0S series is the remote switch to the WSS10 series receivers. The one big aspect that sets this remote apart from many other remote-based switches is that no batteries or wiring is required; it is a spring-loaded self-powered switch. The switch may be surface mounted or recessed in a box with at least 5/8" clearance.
Versatility is a huge plus on this setup. The receiver can be set for up to 6 devices (switches or occupancy sensors), so one can readily make this a 4-way setup and beyond. The transmission signal is digital and each device has its own 32-bit address, so interference is extremely unlikely even with multiple receivers in the same vicinity.
Yes, this setup does cost more than other wireless 3-way switches, but the others are not commercial-grade, nor versatile to be used as 4-way switches and/or with occupancy sensors. Installation is quick, as the only wiring involved is in replacing the wall switch with the receiver; there's no need for wiring through walls or ceilings, no patching, and no bill for the hours of labor by an electrician. And it's that last part makes going with this setup a much cheaper option.

Leviton 6697-W Anywhere Switch/Plug-In RF Remote Decora Rocker Single-Pole Switch, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a room with no overhead lighting and no way for me to wire one.
The room is on the first floor of my house and has two bedrooms overhead.
I plugged this little device into an outlet and plugged a lamp into the device.
I mounted the switch to a wall by the door and put in the batteries.
Works Great. Flip the switch, light goes on. Flip it again, light goes off.
I would have given five stars but... two issues.
1) Switch only comes in one style. No options for other types of switches.
2) For some odd reason the light goes on by itself once in a while. Not a huge deal but not very energy efficient. Perhaps the radio transmitter or receiver responds to some nearby interference. But I have no baby monitor or garage door opener.
