DEWENWILS 13A Remote Control Plug Socket pack 🔌
Description:
This compact remote control plug socket lets you switch appliances on and off from up to 100ft away, useful for bedside lights, heaters and hard-to-reach sockets. The set includes three receiver sockets and one handheld remote, and its long wireless range makes everyday tasks easier for people with limited mobility or anyone who prefers convenient control of household devices.
Key Points
The sockets operate with RF signals that pass through walls and doors, so line of sight is not required. They arrive pre-paired for immediate use and include a learning function to add extra remotes or sockets of the same model for expanded control. This makes it straightforward to create a small network of controlled outlets without complex setup or apps. A 12V 23A battery is included with the remote, allowing instant operation out of the box. 🏠
Energy saving is one of the practical benefits, since switching off devices at the outlet can reduce standby consumption. According to the manufacturer, each receiver supports domestic appliances up to 240V and 13A, which suits lamps, fans, holiday lights and many other typical devices. The system may be especially helpful for bedroom use, living rooms and seasonal decoration where remote on/off switching is convenient. 🔌

Benefits
The main advantage is convenience. You can control multiple appliances from a single wireless transmitter, reducing the need to bend or reach behind furniture. The learning function also offers flexibility, as receivers and transmitters of the same model can be added later to cover more outlets. Another positive is that RF communication is less likely to be affected by sunlight or obstructions, so it tends to be more reliable indoors than an infrared system.
A limitation to consider is the receiver form factor. The sockets plug directly into mains outlets and occupy socket space, which might block adjacent sockets depending on your wall plate layout. Also, while the unit handles a wide range of household loads, very high-startup-current devices such as large compressors or certain power tools may not be suitable.
Usage Recommendations
Place the receiver sockets in locations where distance and obstacles would make manual switching inconvenient, for example behind sofas, under desks or near holiday displays. For multi-room setups, test the remote signal at the farthest point to ensure reliable operation before finalising placement. If you plan to expand the system, use the learning function to add identical remotes or receivers and label them to keep track of which device controls which outlet.
