YES! To accomplish this, you must first RESET the outlets before programming them to a single remote button. To reset, turn off the power to the two outlets in question. Plug the outlet in and wait for the light to stop blinking after pressing and holding the Learning button on the outlet. Then press and hold the Learning button until the light flashes again, and then press the desired button on your remote (for example, remote button 1) to sync the outlet and remote. Apply the same steps to the second outlet. With a single click of the 1 button on your remote, both outlets will now be turned on!
In the past, I've had the following results with similar products: The remotes will work on all of them if you buy a few. To put it another way, their frequency is the same. I'm guessing they're identical. As a result, if you purchase 100 of these sets, you will not receive 300 frequencies. The same three frequencies will appear 100 times in a row. For my purposes, I found that to be adequate.
I ordered two sets, both of which shut off after 10 seconds, prompting me to return and purchase a different brand, despite the fact that I've had a smart switch for ten years and have never had this problem.
No, it does not work with 220 volts.

It appears that the power draw has a very strict upper limit. Some lightbulbs will trip the turnoff, while others will not (this can be determined by moving the bulb around). Regardless of which outlet I used, the same brighter bulb tripped the switch off). So this is fine for low-level lighting, but not for fans, bright lights, or anything else; this is inconvenient. It would be useful to have some indication of the upper bound. If the device is not directly plugged into a wall socket or if an extension cord is used in any way, it does not appear to work. This is inconvenient because I have an older model of this (the remote is identical, but the outlet plug is slightly different). I had a two-lamp extension cord on the older one, which worked fine; I replaced it with the new socket plugin, but when I turn it on, the lamps stay on for one or two seconds before shutting off. The one lamp I have plugged directly into the wall socket works fine, but when I put the third one on one of those "turn two outlets into six" things, it did the same thing, turning on for a second or two before turning off. So it's just ONE item, and it's plugged into the wall socket directly? UGH. br>br>This would not irritate me as much if it weren't for the fact that I have a double lamp setup that works with the older version!.
Because the units come preprogrammed and the instructions for setup and resetting are so simple and straightforward, I initially assumed it was me. I had to return the product after reviewing and trying it several times, as well as searching YouTube for fault finding videos, because none of the three, regardless of which US home outlet or appliance configuration, will stay powered for more than two seconds. Great, but if the lamp or fan won't turn on, it defeats the purpose of purchasing them. Please let me know if anyone else has had a similar experience or has a solution. I'll look for a different solution.
This is an excellent product that is simple to set up, program, and use. Each of the three outlets is already set up. planned out However, reprogramming them to use the same buttons is simple. Simply plug the outlet into the wall, wait for the "learn" button on the side to flash, then press the desired button on the remote. I can now illuminate my garage with all of my supplemental lighting on walls and under cabinets turning on with the touch of a button because the instructions are clear and easy to follow. br>br>The range is fantastic. I've even used this remote to turn on the lights inside the vehicle after opening my garage door with my opener. I now have two extra remotes to use in my vehicles because I purchased three sets. The third one is mounted on the inside wall of my garage, next to my main lighting switches, making it easy to find and use at any time. br>br>The remote is quite small, measuring 3-inches by 3-inches by 3-inches by 3-inch by 3-inch by 3-inch by 3-inch by 3-inch by 3-inch by 3-inch by 3-inch by 3-inch by 3-inch by 3-inch by 3-inch by 3-inch by 3-inch 1/2" long x 1" wide Only 1/2' thick and 1/2" wide. br>br>I bought nine more units (for a total of nine) and they're all programmed to the same remote button. br>br>The remote outlet plugs into the upper socket, leaving plenty of room in the lower one to plug in something else.
I ordered this (which I am returning) and plugged all of the outlets in with lamps in each of them. The remote would not work, so I read all of the instructions and had two other people try to assist me (to no avail). After 2 minutes, the remote became so hot that I thought it was going to burn me (NOT SAFE!). (We triple checked and the battery was oriented correctly in the remote. ) It is now back in its box set to be returned. This is a product that I do not recommend!!.
This was a crucial feature for me, so you can imagine my disappointment when it arrived and there was only a small artsy sculpted design in the area where there was supposed to be a light (as shown in the photo and video). ) I'm going to take a chance and buy the "improved" version. br> A recent question inquired as to whether there was an indicator light, and the answer was yes. I'm paying a dollar more for that one in the hopes that it's the right one, and it'll be returned if the indicator light isn't working. That is something I require in my application. Crossing my fingers!.
It blew my fuse and ruined my socket when I used it with my induction cooker that I couldn't handle. br>The induction cooker is still operational, but the wall socket will need to be replaced. br>It appears that it is incompatible with high-current appliances.
I bought these wireless plug outlets to turn on/off a small portable desk heater, and they worked great at first. Then, at 5 a. m. , I turned it on to heat my desk area, and after an hour, it began to smell like hot plastic, and it became so hot that it threw the breaker and shut the heater off. Because the 00 heater is defective, this plug was the source of the problem. Where do we go from here? Who will replace my heater, and when will it be done? I'd been using it for a while.
My nightstand lights are controlled by a single button that turns them on and off. My laptop has a USB C charging port that I keep plugged in all the time, and this remote allows me to control when it is being charged (without having to unplug it from the wall outlet), allowing me to extend the life of the laptop battery. 5 stars because there are so many possibilities!.
