Additional Modules Mean Added Security
The HomeRemote Lamp Module lets you control your lights remotely via your cell phone or the HomeRemote Web interface. Turning lights on and off remotely keeps outsiders guessing whether or not you're home. And by using the lamp module in conjunction with HomeRemote Pro Door/Window Sensors (sold separately), you can set your lights to turn on and off when doors or windows open, frightening and exposing potential intruders. You can even use it while you're at home to dim lamps from the comfort of you bedroom to create instant ambience. A manual override function is available for times when you need to deviate from the programmed schedule.

Control Your Energy Usage For Greener Living
The HomeRemote Lamp Module lets you easily monitor your energy usage no matter where you are! You can check to see if you leave a light on accidentally, and you can turn it off remotely if you did. You can also set a schedule to turn off all your lights at a certain time, so no energy is wasted. With the HomeRemote, conserving energy is easy to do -- and that is good for the environment, and good for your wallet.

Quick, Easy Setup
With true plug-and-play setup, HomeRemote Lamp Modules are easy to integrate into your existing HomeRemote system. Simply follow the wizard on the add/remove module page of the HomeRemote Web interface to add a new module to your customized system. Then it’s just a matter of plugging the module into an outlet, and plugging a lamp into it. A convenient LED indicator on the module provides useful feedback during the setup process.

The lamp module is designed to work with the HomeRemote system and all Z-Wave-enabled controllers. It has a wireless control range of up to 100 feet. It also acts as a repeater, effectively extending the range of your Wireless-Z home control network.

How the HomeRemote Pro Monitoring System Works
The HomeRemote Monitoring System lets you monitor your home, secure it from intruders, and control its appliances and power usage via a cell phone or an Internet browser while you're working, at school, or even traveling abroad. You can also use it to monitor your children or pets, or keep tabs on an elderly family member. And business owners can use the system to keep an eye on their premises or employees.

By connecting the Pro Internet Gateway to your Internet router, you'll effectively create a wireless network that "connects" your home to the Internet. And by adding HomeRemote Pro accessories to your home, such as the Pro Door Sensor and Pro Lamp Module, or other HomeRemote

The module also functions as a repeater, extending the distance of the Z-Wave signal.

Pro-enabled products, such as Electrical Appliance modules and Pro Motion Detectors (sold separately), you'll have the option of remotely controlling your heating and cooling system, lighting, blinds, garage door, and virtually any electrical appliance in your home.

Award-Winning Z-Wave Wireless Technology
At the heart of the HomeRemote Pro System is Z-Wave wireless "mesh" technology, an award-winning wireless standard for home automation. Unlike traditional remote technologies that rely on

infrared signals, Z-Wave is not affected by walls or other barriers, and it offers two-way communication, giving you confirmation that your commands were received and executed. With Z-Wave, the guesswork and finger-crossing is taken out of the equation.

Because each "module" or HomeRemote Pro accessory acts as a repeater that extends the distance of the Z-Wave signals, with a few easily installed and strategically placed HomeRemote Pro accessories, your entire home can be covered in a matter of minutes without any hard-wiring or special installation.

Easy Set Up: No Special Tools or Wiring Required
Setting up a HomeRemote Pro Monitoring System up couldn't be easier. Once you connect the Pro Internet Gateway to your router, you log into the HomeRemote Pro Web site, where you can

customize your HomeRemote Pro System by naming the rooms in your home. (You can also personalize your HomeRemote Pro Web page with photos of yourself and other custom touches.) Then it's just a matter of plugging accessories into outlets throughout your home and adding them to your system.

The "installation" of HomeRemote Pro accessories is as easy as plugging in one of the several HomeRemote Pro modules into available electrical outlets. Once the modules, which are about the size of typical home appliance timers, are connected, you simply plug your lamp or appliance into it. The modules let you control appliances remotely (you can schedule them, or turn them on or off on demand), and they will also act as "repeaters" that effectively extend your home's Z-Wave wireless network.

The HomeRemote Pro Lamp Module has a max load of 200 Watts and a rating of 120V AC, 60 Hz. It measures 3.25 x 2.85 x 1.25 inches (excluding male prongs).

I was able to use it only about five times before it stopped functioning. I swapped it out with an Intermatic unit which I took from another outlet as a stop gap for now.

This review is from: Hawking HomeRemote Pro HRLM1 Lamp Module (Personal Computers)

I purchased this item about two months ago and it has been working flawlessly. I have a proprietary dimmable 75W fluorescent bulb and was worried that it would not work with this dimmer, but after a few adjustments of light intensity (using the remote) my fluorescent bulb stopped flickering and has worked as if it was directly connected to the socket, even when dimmed through the module. This module also works as a signal extender so if a second module is out of the range of the remote but the first module isn't, the first module is supposedly capable of extending the signal to the second module and therefore both will respond to the remote's command. There is also a led indicator that shows that the current is conveyed to the lamp, but it turns off with the lamp, making it a good choice for a home theater setup or any other situation in which total darkness is optimal.
