Essential Info

Control a lamp from anywhere in your home without running wires. The Black & Decker RF Base & Remote comes with a handheld remote that uses radio-frequency messages to signal the RF base to turn a lamp on and off using Freewire™ signals. Once set up, you can easily expand your remote-control lighting by adding indoor and outdoor lamp modules, each sold separately. The remote works with all Freewire components, turning three units and two light groups on and off; it will also turn all Freewire-enabled lights in your home on and off at once. Note: The remote's RF signal is only compatible with the included Freewire Messenger Hub receiver.

    This set includes an RF base and an indoor remote. The RF base is the messenger hub of the expandable Freewire system, doubling as a plug-in lamp module, which can be controlled from anywhere in the house with the included remote. The base will control an incandescent lamp rated up to 500 watts. Programming the RF base is easy: Just set a house and unit code using the clearly marked wheels.

    When plugged into an AC outlet, the RF base receives radio-frequency signals from the included handheld remote and relays these wireless messages over your existing powerlines to any Freewire receiver dialed to the same house code. Freewire's 256 channels and 64,000 unique codes ensure a secure system for your home.

    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.

    The remote will control up to three lamps and two mood lighting scenes. It can also turn on and off every lamp set to your designated house code. Also available is the Black & Decker Freewire Remote, Lamp Module, Receiver, which also contains a second lamp module for another controllable lamp. The Black & Decker Freewire Indoor/Outdoor Starter Kit is the ultimate Freewire starter kit. It comes with the base and remote as well as one indoor and two outdoor lighting modules.

    A handy little gadget, and hard to find these days.
    DANIEL -- brentwood, TN   2/3/2008
    Inexpensive handheld remote control. I started out with X-10 devices with an introductory handheld remote and receiver. After several years the hand held remote died. This is a great replacement for a very low cost.
    MARIE -- orrington, ME   2/2/2008
    Instructions were easy to follow and it works like a charm to turn on and off a lamp in our absence. Thank you.
    GREG -- trophy club, TX   1/23/2008
    Excellent product, works as advertised. Very easy to set up.
    EUGENE -- midlothian, VA   1/17/2008
    This was a free replacement for a unit received earlier in the month that did not function at all. The replacement works fine. I was particularly impressed and pleased with the responsiveness of your technical support person, and the offer to replace the unit, without the need to return the defective one. Well done!
    ALLEN -- bristol, CT   1/11/2008
    I was surprised that the item arrived with absolutely no instructions included.
    EUGENE -- midlothian, VA   1/11/2008
    I ordered two of these. One of the remotes did not function at all. I called, and was shipped a replacement.
    NORMAN -- osterville, MA   1/10/2008
    Great for night time security, whether in bed or driving home in the dark!
    DAVID -- holliston, MA   1/7/2008
    A low cost, effective solution to remote control problems and oportunities.
    DAVID -- st. catharines, ON   1/5/2008
    Works perfectly!I needed to program some devices that I picked up locally. This did the trick and now I control the devices with my X10 system.
    KARL -- pearland, TX   1/3/2008
    Works well with my older x10 clock/timer. Wheel on remote was broken, but doesn't affect usability.
    WILLIAM -- kingwood, TX   12/29/2007
    Your product came in very handy for us .We are getting up in age and my wife still likes to do a lot decorations inside the house.many of these are electricle and have been hard to plug in and unplug each day.the Smarthomes remote took care of that problem pronto. thanks W.N.
    CAROL -- lewiston, ID   11/26/2007
    Works great and is very user friendly!
    SONIA -- windsor, CT   9/5/2007
    This product is the best invention since the tire. I have a room that doesn't have light switches on every wall, and this product allows me to secure a remote where the switches would be. It's working great.

    Good value.
    MICHAEL -- sterling, VA   7/15/2007
    The Freewire base and remote is very nice. I got it for my father to use with his car's Homelink system so that he can turn a light on when he and my mother arrive home. I'm very pleased with both Smarthome and the B&D product you offered. Thanks!
    WILLIAM -- victor, NY   7/8/2007
    Excellent performance. It does exactly what I wanted something to do...an automatic volume control. Easy to hook up too.
