I was looking for a device which would turn on my swag lamp and table lamp simultaneously with my wall-switched floor lamp. I found plenty of "smart" devices that are controlled by a wi-fi based smart phone app or by speaking to google or alexa or siri or cortana or some other privacy invasive big brother crappola.
Switcheroo is the only device I could find that simply and elegantly gets the job done. I ordered the two pack. I set the receiving Switcheroo to use channel A. The transmitting Switcheroo was already set for channel A. I plugged the transmitting Switcheroo into the switched outlet and plugged in the floor lamp. I plugged the receiving Switcheroo into an outlet on the opposite wall, plugged in the table lamp and ran an extension cord behind the sofa to the swag lamp. Now when I flip the wall switch, all three lamps come on (or go off) simultaneously.
It was very smart of the Switcheroo designer to include two sockets on each Switcheroo. This allowed me to plug the table lamp and the extension cord to the swag lamp into each socket of the receiving Switcheroo. I was also able to plug in our tiny lit Christmas tree (during the season) into the transmitting Switcheroo which has the floor lamp plugged into its other socket.
FYI: this device uses a radio frequency in the 900 MHz spectrum between the transmitter and receiver. It does not interfere with my Panasonic cordless phones, my wi-fi, my home theater, or anything, It just simply (and elegantly) turns on and off my three living room lamps simultaneously.
I'm always getting requests by sellers to give them reviews but I rarely do amazon reviews because I don't want to be bothered. But without any request from Switcheroo for a review, I decided to do a review because this device is unique and deserves an atta-boy.
