 Good Without Digging in the Walls Dec 19, 2010
By Average Geek
I have an Insteon home, but there were a few places where I didn't want to dig into the switch boxes. In those sites, I needed a product that could go on the wall like a normal switch. There is no equivalent product in the Insteon world.
So I got a few of these very inexpensive switches and a costly EZX10RF unit to translate their signals to Insteon codes for the powerline. These switches work as advertised and I've had no issues with range.
They are a little finnicky about how long you hold the button while programming them. Also, they don't seem to have non-volatile memory, so if the battery runs out or is removed you'll have to re-set the house code and number. But it's not a long or difficult procedure. The battery is a CR2026 watch battery, the same as taken by many car fobs these days. Available at any Radioshack.
The switches are a little on the white side for my aesthetic sensibilities but don't look overly cheap and don't stick out too far. The adhesive pads they come with are fine.

 Works, but X10 can have distance limits Oct 25, 2008
By Dr. Chriistopjer Davies

It's very useful when it works. And it does work pretty well. It's just a fact that X10 will not work at great distances, and sometimes your house wiring may involve some distance you didn't know. I've used my two to switch on on and off for bed for over 5 years. Try it. Cheap and fun. Chicks did it.
X10 3 Unit Slimline Wireless Wall Switch + Dimming Jan 30, 2012
By Daniel
Cheep feeling but works great. I have had 2 for over a year. I could not live without my x10 set up. Controlled by Harmony 1100.
 Does the job, but ... Jan 03, 2012
By David Etherington
This does the job, but there are 3 weaknesses to the switch, IMO:
1. the adhesive strips on the back won't hold it to a painted wall,
2. the switches are 'on' to the left and 'off' to the right, and
3. the battery falls out when it falls off the wall, so you have to reprogram it.
Great Product Nov 29, 2011

Have used this before. I could not run wires (steel studs, no clearances for running wires, etc.). However, this switch is easy to mount on a wall space, and then all you have to do is place lamp or other modules where you want. Viola, you have switch and dimmer control anywhere! Easy, quick, and sure saved on my scrapped knuckles trying to run impossible wires. I recommend this as an easy alternative when you cannot do the standard wiring for lights, or other appliances (low current items).
