Trust Smart Home ACM-1000 Built-In Switch for Wireless Switching of Lights (1000 W)

First, a small clarification. The supplier's description refers to 'switching of lights'. This is slightly misleading because although you can, of course, use them for lighting control, they'll happily control almost any device with a rating below a Kilowatt. So to the review proper:I've used these 433MHz remotely controlled switches for years. They just work. And they carry on working. I have upwards of 25 in use and I've had one failure in about 12 years. Unlike some competitor devices, they never lose their pairing. They're even reasonably easy to reconfigure, so long as you're meticulous about keeping records of which transmitters control which receivers. And they're much cheaper than their Z-Wave and Zigbee brethren. The latter may theoretically have greater range but, in practice, I've never had a problem anywhere within a medium-sized two storey house.These days, I control them via an Octopus-2000 Internet Control Station (reviewed elsewhere), also from Trust, and I link that to my Amazon Echo environment, using the Trust Smart Home skill(which I've also reviewed). So, although they are really old technology (which is another way of saying mature and established, with the bugs ironed out), they play nice with modern kit. In summary, I have no hesitation in recommending these highly, especially to anyone wanting to put a toe in the Smart Home water. It's a cheap way in and you can build your system over time in size and sophistication.

This is the second of these switches we have bought. They are simple to set up and it is possible to connect multiple wall switches to the switch box, so we were able to add a switch to the room in the correct side of a door and put in a second switch without wiring. Works like a charm. The same applies the second time around.

Works perfectly with haligen bulbs. It still works and dims LED bulbs but they would humm. Sometimes so loudly that I can't hear the usual voices inside my head

All good. The switch is nicely self contained and neatly fitted in the patress with just a little fiddling. Range seems good. The transmitter is located at the far end of the garage, on the opposite side to the house, probably near 100Mtrs direct path, yet response is reliable and fast.

Works really well

BRILLIANT LITTLE BIT OF KIT I HAVE GOT 2 NOW AND USE THEM TO REMOTELY TURN ON ME CABIN AND SHED OUTSIDE LIGHTSAT THE END OF MY GARDEN. NOW I CAN SEE WHERE I'M GOING.
