This remote controlled outlet system lets you turn appliances, electronics, lamps, Christmas tree lights, or anything with a plug on and off from the comfort of your bed or sofa. The system comes with a remote control and two outlets; however, the remote can handle an unlimited number of outlets (must be purchased separately) on each of its four channels. You can also purchase multiple remotes (separately) and program them to control a single outlet for use in several areas of the house. The remote operates on a strong 433 MHz signal, which has a range of about 80 feet and can travel through floors or walls so you don’t necessarily have to be in the same room as the device you’re powering on or off. The remote has individual power buttons for each of its four channels and master power buttons for operating or turning off all outlets at once. The outlets can support electrics with a maximum current of 30 amps and a maximum power of 3,600 watts.

La Crosse Technology WS-2315CH Professional Weather Station


Product Description


  • Professional PC-compatible weather station with extensive weather readouts
  • Cherry-tone base station with radio-controlled calendar and time display
  • Indoor and outdoor temperature and relative humidity displays
  • Rainfall, wind speed, wind direction, wind chill, and dew point displays
  • Base station measures 6 by 1-1/4 by 6-1/2 inches; one-year warranty

Attention farmers and sailors--and any others who might want to know more about their local weather than a local radio has to offer--this Professional Series Wireless Weather Station could very well be useful to you. More information than the average person would even know to ask for appears on readouts on a tiny cherry-tone base station only just bigger than 6 inches square. Three sensors (thermo-hygro, wind, and rain) transmit information from outdoor vantage points to the base station. Indoor and outdoor temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius) and relative humidity are displayed. There are air pressure readings (in inHg or hPa, absolute or relative) as well as wind chill and dew point temperatures. The calendar and time displays (with manual setting option) are synchronized by tuning in to radio station WWVB in Colorado. There's even a forecast display and weather tendency indicator.

The advanced features available in this station are fairly staggering. The WS-2315AL has a detailed display of rainfall data for one-hour, 24-hour, or total-since-last-reset increments, measured in inches or millimeters. It features multiple programmable alarm functions for weather conditions such as approaching storms, heavy rains, or sudden drops in temperature or atmospheric pressure. In addition, it keeps records of all minimum and maximum values along with the times and dates of their recordings. Of special nautical interest are wind direction, displayed three ways, and wind speed in miles/hour, kilometers/hour, miles/second, knots or Beaufort scale. A COM port is included for easy connection to a PC. Heavyweather PC Interface software allows the recording and uploading of all the weather data from the base station, as well as up to 175 sets of weather history data. (The Web site www.heavyweather.info offers more information.)

The Wireless Weather Station set includes: a base receiver station, a thermo-hygro transmitter (WS-2310-25), a wind sensor (WS-2310), a rain sensor (WS-2310-16), an optional wired connection for data transfer, a software in CD-Rom format for transfer of data to PC, a PC RS232 serial port cable, and an AC/DC power adapter. (Base station can also operate on three AA batteries.) The base station measures 6 by 1-1/4 by 6-1/2 inches. La Crosse provides a one-year limited warranty on its weather stations. Each weather station comes with a thoroughly detailed instruction booklet. --Garland Withers
