How do these TV remotes turn off the lights?

Question

This TV remote claims to be able to allow you to play games, listen to music and watch TV, and also turn the lights on and off. I can't understand how it can control the lights, could someone please explain this?

Thanks,

Tom.

Answer 1

you need a sensor for your lights

Answer 2

Answer 3

i know what you on bout, my mate has got touch and remote sensors, if this remote claims to work them probably will do but only on these certain light with the sensors. it is probably a universal remote. try it n c if you have the remote sensor lights.

Answer 4

It probably has a thing that goes into the outlet to sense the remote.  Logitech is a good company, it probably works fine.

Answer 5

Heidi is correct. You need a module for each light that plugs into the outlet. They also have them that replace a wall switch. These are sold separately.

The Harmony remotes are fantastic but many other lesser priced remotes will work with x10 module as well
