I was skeptical at first because i didn't see any reviews concerning obstructions such as walls and doors.
I bought two, one indoor and one outdoor. Indoor one works with my living room lamp. i use the outdoor outlet upstairs to control my internet equipment. From down stairs, I am able to turn on/off outlet just fine, even with door closed and through wall. So, i am assuming that the indoor will do the same.
NOTE: sometimes the remote came with the cover screw twisted too tight, causing the remote not to work. just loosen the screw a little and it will work just fine. I want to say that because someone complains about remote didn't work.

This remote device works perfectly. I'm disabled and have great difficulty moving around the house. This device is a godsend.

Dead batteries
I bought two of these switches to use to turn off my Airport Extreme gigabit modem and the original Airport Extreme. It allows me to turn the modems on and off in the motels I stay in frequently without actually going into the motels and bothering the owners. I turn the modems off during the day so they won't burn out in the extremely hot room I had to put them in and it also allows me to turn them off when I'm not there.
However, I never would have known they worked all four batteries were dead. Fortunately the last one had a little life left in it but I don't expect it to last long. Unfortunately the batteries are very expensive. So be aware.

While this product works well with lamps and fans that have knobs that you turn, it only half works with fans or other products that turn on with buttons. For example, I have a fan that you press the button three times to go from low to high to off. The remote will turn it off, but won't turn it back on. Same thing with a button-only air conditioner. However, it does turn my twist-dial fan both on and off.

I put a computer in the basement to use as a media source for my big LCD screen TV on the first floor. I was concerned that the signal from the switch wouldn't get through the aluminum vapor barrier in the insulation in the basement floor but I've used it for 2 weeks now and it's worked flawlessly. I'm very pleased. :)
