SONOFF RM433R2 Remote Controller

Finally, a remote that actually works when I’m too lazy to grab my phone—just pressed it from the kitchen and the light clicked on without any Wi-Fi hassle. The RF433MHz pairing was dead simple, and the button feel is satisfyingly clicky. Exactly what I needed for the couch-to-switch commute.

The range on this thing is surprisingly solid, and pairing it with my RF433 gadgets took barely any setup. I grabbed it for the times I’m in another room and don’t want to pull out my phone—now I just hit a physical button, even with the Wi-Fi down.

The remote works instantly even when my phone’s dead and the Wi-Fi’s down, which is exactly why I grabbed it. Setup with the RF433 receiver was a breeze, and the buttons feel solid enough to survive getting tossed in a drawer.
