Works great. I bought a set many years ago from radio shack and this is 100% compatible. I have the alarm clock timer which will control & dim lighting modules, and will turn appliance modules on & off, manually or by programmable timer. I mostly use these for Christmas decorations now. My old module still works, I just needed to add one for a second location. Since I wanted all my decorations to go on/off at the same time this was the perfect solution. A few dollars more than I wanted to pay compared to the price I paid 25 years ago, but if this one lasts as long as the other one it will be money well spent. Similar modules connect thru wifi so monitoring and programming options are nearly limitless. However, I specifically did not want a wifi or 'smart' version. I have used these devices off and on for more than 25 years. I don't know if I'm just lucky or if I have lived in small houses my whole life, but I have never had any issues with modules not working correctly. A button on the module for manual switching would be nice but is not included. You can manually turn on the module. With the module plugged in, unplug your device from the module and immediately plug it back in and the module should power up. If you experience undesired operation, remember this: typical residential electrical service in the US has two 110 volt lines which provide 220 volt devices like stove/oven, clothes dryer, hot water heater, central heat/air their power. Wall outlets can be supplied by either 110 volt line. If you plug the appliance module into an outlet and it fails to operate as expected your controller may be plugged into an outlet supplied by the opposite 110 volt line. To remedy that you could purchase a device to repeat the control signal to the other line, or simply move the module and controller to the same 110 volt line. An electrician could explain this better and assist. Or you could look at your beaker panel (or fuse box for folks with a little mileage). Most panels have two columns. Each is supplied by one of the 110 volt lines. If your module is supplied by an outlet on one column (left for example), and the controller is supplied by the other (right), you may experience undesired or 'spotty' operation. The easiest fix is to plug both the controller and module into outlets supplied by circuits in the same column in the panel. My advice is to make sure you have the appropriate module for the intended purpose and follow the instructions when setting them up. You should get many years of use that way.
