Kedsum digital remote switch review

Kedsum Wireless 1 way switch is a simple and easy-to-operate gadget that gives you absolute control over different electronics in the house.

You can use it to switch on or off basically anything that doesn’t have an additional power button.

This makes it a perfect way to maintain remote control over the lights and fans in your house without walking over to a wall switch.

The 1 way on or off position means that you can either switch on or off but cannot adjust the amount of power going through hence the bulb brightness of fan speed.

Design

The Kedsum wireless switch comprises the receiver or actuator and remote control that sends the signal to the receiver switch. The receiver switch sits in the wall between the power supply and the equipment in question while the remote controller will always be by your side.

While the receiver is made of hard resistant plastic, the remote controller comes in a sleek white finish oblong shape with two prominent on or off buttons. Then ‘ON’ button is painted an unmistakable green while the off button bears a characteristic red color.
