  • More Info


    This starter kit includes a messenger hub and an indoor remote as well as a lamp module. The messenger hub is the brain of your expandable Freewire system that doubles as a lamp module, so you'll actually be able to control two separate lamps with this starter system. The indoor lamp receiver will even accept dimming commands transmitted by a standard X10 controller.

    When plugged into an AC outlet, the messenger hub has the ability to receive RF signals from the indoor 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; other than those included in this kit, additional modules are sold separately.

    Control lighting and small electronics throughout your home all from the palm of your hand using the included indoor remote, which even comes with a mountable holder. The indoor remote works with all Freewire components. This remote will turn three units and two groups 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.

    The lamp receiver provides convenient control of incandescent lamps rated up to 300 watts. Programming these units is easy. Just set your house and unit codes using the clearly marked wheels. Remember that the house code must match on all Freewire units in 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.

    Also available is the Black & Decker Freewire Indoor/Outdoor Starter Kit, which contains both of these indoor lamp options as well as two outdoor lamp receivers.

    I was very happy with the way my order was handled. No issues from my end at all.
    WARREN -- seattle, WA   3/8/2008
    I am very pleased with my Smarthome system which was easy to install and has performed well. I had problems finding information on the system in general and it wasn't till i bought the starter package that I obtained the full description. I am still looking for an appliance switch to add to system I have.
    RUTH A -- ashland, KY   2/28/2008
    This is the second B&D Freewire Remote Kit I have purchased.The first worked great till my disabled husband spilled a drink into the remote. This item is a great value, installs easily and enables my husband to turn on and off the lights in his room from his bed. We don't ever want to be without it.
    DAVID -- medfield, MA   1/17/2008
    I bought this to control all the Christmas lights throughout the house. One press of the remote and they all come on. Well, most of the time. Sometimes I have to get really close to the receiver for it to work. Maybe the button battery in the remote is weak. All in all, this setup is doing what I wanted and I'm quite happy with it. The service from Smarthome was very good. I ordered on the last minute and it got here well before Christmas.
    ALLEN -- campbell hall, NY   1/14/2008
    Couldn't be simpler. You plug it in, and it works. I'm using them to control Christmas lights in several different rooms.
    LENNY -- jamestown, NY   12/27/2007
    $15, works as expected.
    PAMELA -- baton rouge, LA   12/14/2007
    Best of all lamp controls we have reviewed. This is the third house that we have purchased and installed your lighting products in. The under-counter lighting, along with the remote lamp module controls, is a must. The illumination of the counters is amazing. If other kitchen users could only see for themselves the lightning inhancement...there's no way I would even try to prepare and cook food without your ptoducts for undercounter lighting; and the remote module units make it even more convienient to use. I simply push a rocker switch for one or more lights or just push the total control switch and all under-counter lights come on. What a fantastic innovation!!! I don't even need the overhead lighting. Thanks for making life in the kitchen so much more pleasant. Cooking has been a joy, ever since we started usung your products several years ago. Many mega thanks. Keep up the pace for a better tomorrow.
    JAMES -- cranston, RI   11/20/2007
    Works on house, but I can't seem to get individual working,
    SAM -- columbia, SC   11/18/2007
    Used as a gift. Exactly as advertised.
    BETH -- idianapolis, IN   11/17/2007
    Everything top notch. The Freewire system is very easy and well explained. Will definitely look for more handy uses and continue to recommend this product. Great!
    DAVID -- barnhart, MO   11/11/2007
    The freewire remote works only with transmitter. I couldn't get the remote lamp modules to works.
    PIERRE -- athelstan, QC   10/25/2007
    Works very well, the receiver is a little noisy when turn on or off. Pitty that it doesn't have a dimming option.
    SIDDHARTH -- san jose, CA   10/17/2007
    Easy to setup, works well. Very convenient.
    ANNETTE -- greenwood, IN   9/24/2007
    I use this everyday. Little tiny mood lights. Turn lamp on other side of house when I leave...turn it off when I get back... saves a lot of steps.
    BRIAN -- joplin, MO   9/12/2007
    Excellent range and ease of programming and operation!!! Very pleased.
    GARY -- brooklyn, NY   8/10/2007
    I LIKE IT
    WESLEY -- oklahoma city, OK   7/10/2007
    I have used "Plug'N Power" and "x10" modules for years, so I thought the Freewire specials were excellent in price, but I was surprised and disappointed to find that the lamp modules do not dim! On other brands, that is the primary diference between small appliance and lamp modules. I think your descriptions should include this important information. It made me feel like I had been played for a sucker; I hope that was not your intention!
    EVELYN -- snow hill, MD   6/29/2007
    quiet and handy easy to set up
    GARY T -- asheville, NC   6/23/2007
    The product works fine--no complaints at all.
    TIEM -- westminster, CA   6/21/2007
