I ordered two of these after another company's product arrived DOA. They work great but are black instead of white (which I actually preferred). Even better is that they are both on the same channel so I only need one remote.

I love having the freedom of using a light switch that I couldn't otherwise wire in my 1920's rented house. Though it works very well, it does not work 100% on the first click. This product claims to be able to go through walls, but it doesn't consistently. I certainly recommend this product because it does indeed get the job done, it looks like it is built well, and the design of having a cord leading to the sensor box (instead of having the sensor box plug directly into the outlet--blocking the other outlet) is really great. Especially compared to the other flimsier versions, this model feels like a win. Again, I am happy with it, I just wish it were a 100% win.

When I remember to use this, it works great. It haven't tested it at great distances, but I always press the on switch before coming into my apartment, and when I open the door, its on!
