I installed a new battery, made no difference. This item doesn't function as advertised. A major disappointment, as this was to be a night security measure. Now it's totally dead. Installed in a garage, it worked only sporadically--and only when right beneath it, let alone outside. It does NOT work through walls, nor anywhere near the 100 foot distance claimed.
I bought this for an outdoor water feature. Good value and it works as promised.
It's a good item for the price. I didn't test the remote from more than 50 ft away, but this sure came in handy for my halloween lights. You press the button on the remote, it turns on. The outdoor unit is pretty sturdy. Might need to pick up another one for the xmas lights. Hit the other button, it turns off. Pretty simple.
The power outlet is very hefty and seems durable. I was surprised that it came w/ an extra battery. The key chain remote seems less durable as I doubt it is cold resistant shatterproof plastic so hopefully I won't drop it. I've only had it a couple of days but so far it works well going through plaster and brick walls. No issue w/ it not working in the cold yet.
I'm going to try the more expensive model to see if it is any better. The second one worked off and on for about 3 weeks. The first one I bought worked for about 2 weeks. Amazon replaced it with no problem.
