  • More Info


    Smarthome recently obtained a huge quantity of these Freewire systems and is offering them to our customers for a blowout price! This starter kit includes a messenger hub and a key chain remote. The messenger hub is the brain of your expandable Freewire system that doubles as a lamp module. When plugged into an AC outlet, it has the ability to receive RF signals from the key chain remote and relays these wireless messages to any Freewire receiver dialed to the same house code. You can also add modules to operate additional indoor lights, outdoor lights, and small appliances and electronics.

    The key chain remote provides convenient control of lights or groups of lights, small electronics, and more from the palm of your hand and will work with all Freewire components. Use it to turn on your porch light and unlock your door! The key chain remote will turn one unit code and one group on and off; it will also turn all Freewire-enabled lights and appliances on and off at once. Freewire's 256 channels and 64,000 unique codes ensure a secure system for your home.

    Do you already use X10 components for your home's automation? The Freewire system will blend in seamlessly. All Freewire plug-in modules (indoor and outdoor lamp receivers as well as the messenger hub's built-in lamp module) can be controlled by standard X10 controllers. The indoor lamp receiver will even accept dimming commands transmitted by a standard X10 controller.

    The HomeLink Wireless Control System is a factory-installed feature packaged on many vehicle models, providing a convenient way to replace up to three handheld radio-frequency transmitters used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks, security systems and home lighting. Freewire products are compatible with select 2001 and newer HomeLink-equipped vehicles. Programming instructions for HomeLink are included in the instruction guide for this Freewire product.

    If you're just getting started but seek a more expanded system, try the Black & Decker Freewire Remote, Lamp Module, Receiver, which also contains a second lamp module for another controllable lamp, or the Black & Decker Freewire Indoor/Outdoor Starter Kit, which contains both of these indoor lamp options as well as two outdoor lamp receivers. Both of these kits are sold separately. Purchase the Black & Decker Complete Freewire Set and you'll receive all three starter kits at a substantial discount.

    Works well.
    RICHARD -- newnan, GA   2/21/2007
    I bought a system from Home Depot and returned it as defective and replaced it with another unit. It wasn't defective just worthless. I was very pleased with the unit I got from Smarthome.
    ANDREW -- kensington, MD   2/15/2007
    this works great
    JOHN -- chautauqua, NY   2/8/2007
    Product has been exactly as expected and entirely satisfactory during the brief time I had it. I find the repeated restriction that it be used only for incadescent light and not appliances inconsistent with the rated motor load. Your representative was not able to address this question. The device works well with the rated motor load.
    NATHAN -- canton, OH   2/3/2007
    Works great - very inexpensive - easy to use - what else is there to say?
    PHYLLIS -- tombstone, AZ   1/28/2007
    it works very well and we are completely satisfied with it.
    MI JEOUNG -- los angeles, CA   1/23/2007
    I gave this to my friends. They love this. Thank you.
