Cheap Honeywell RPWL3045A1003/A Wireless Premium Portable Converter/Extender/Push Button


I bought this in conjunction with a handful of window and door contacts to use with my Honeywell base doorbell unit.

1. Other poster is absolutely correct - the instructions are unbelievably BAD. In fact I think they probably do more harm than good.

2. One thing that was not clear before I bought was that you need to buy one of these extenders for EVERY set of door/window contacts you buy! That can add up in price if you want to cover all your doors, not to mention low level windows! Sheesh...doesn't mention this ANYwhere in description. I assumed it wirelessly (like the base unit) controlled any door or window contacts installed. But noooooooooo.

I also think that if you were to use this as just a "push" that it doesn't look anything like a "normal" push so I can understand that people would knock instead, ironically. They should have designed it to look more like the white, dedicated pushes that comes with the base system instead, imo. Those are very obviously doorbell pushses...this looks more like a...retina scanner or something. :)Get more detail about Honeywell RPWL3045A1003/A Wireless Premium Portable Converter/Extender/Push Button.

Discount Heath Zenith SL-6142-C Basic Wireless Plug-In Door Chime with Two Transmitters, White


First off, I think they may have the wrong item pictured. Mine doesn't have round buttons, but rather has long buttons. And it's not bright white, but a softer ivory.

I bought this for use in my store for someone at the front counter to signal someone in the back room when additional help is needed out front. The buttons are only about 20 and 25 feet away from the chime, and while not quite line-of-sight, there is less solid stuff for the signal to pass through than a more typical situation of the button being on the outside of a house, and the chimes somewhere inside.

You have to firmly press and hold the button to activate the chime the first time you hit the button. If you press the button a second time after activating the chimes, that second press can be softer, and shorter, more like a typical press of a doorbell. It's as if you have to wait for the system to wake-up that first time.

In my case, the people pressing the button are aware of the shortcomings. They can also hear if the chime activates or not. In a more typical situation, a person ringing a doorbell doesn't know that this button needs to be more firmly pressed, and after pressing it, they don't get to hear whether or not it actually went off.

In fairness, I've checked-out numerous wireless doorbell systems, and most do not work well at all, either. If you can install a more traditional wired system, do so. Get a wireless one like this only if you can't wire anything up, and you're prepared to miss people at your door who don't press hard enough or long enough.Get more detail about Heath Zenith SL-6142-C Basic Wireless Plug-In Door Chime with Two Transmitters, White.

Low Price Honeywell RCWL8000A1002/W VisioCam Wireless Video Door Chime Set


I am hard of hearing so I use this to alert me that someone is at the front door. The strobe and video are outstanding. The transmitter transmits the signal through the entire 2,000 SF home and even to the second floor office room. Thank you Honeywell and Amazon this is a great product and well worth the money. I had a $800.00 system in my other home that didn't work as well as this does for $175.00. Easy set-up even for an elderly gentleman like I am.

I've had this door bell now for a good year and i can't say how much i love it.

Lowest Price Honeywell RCA901N1006/A Wired Door Contacts


I bought these door contacts with the thought that it would be some cheesy battery operated plastic doo-dad. Was I WRONG, and sadly mistaken. These door contacts hook up to a wireless converter that transmits a signal to the required Honeywell Door Bell/Door Contact/Security Alarm Housing. I bought the main Honeywell Wireless door bell system, then bought the add-ons like the door contacts and couldn't be happier. I recommend this system to ALL Amazon buyers.Get more detail about Honeywell RCA901N1006/A Wired Door Contacts.

Shop For Belkin 12-Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector with Phone/Ethernet/Coaxial Protection and Extended Cord


I absolutely love the adapter friendly design of this surge protector. I use it for my PC, and every single power cord in that general area passes through this thing. Connected are the PC, the monitor, the printer, the speakers, the cordless phone, the force feedback joystick, the router, the DSL modem, and a bluetooth charger. So I am using most of the slots, and have yet to encounter any issues. Thankfully my house hasn't been struck by lightning yet, but having this between my PC and the power outlet is a definite peace of mind.

But honestly, it's the design that takes the cake. I can fit up to 6 large adapters with absolutely no problem (and you probably have plenty of those around a PC). On other surge protectors, adapters would take up 2 or even 3 spots. Not with with one. So far it has performed great, and I highly recommend it.

Honeywell RCA902N1004/N Wireless Motion Detector Order Now


Unit seems to function as advertised, but when I couple it with the Honeywell RCWL330A, I can't change the chime sound from it very annoying warble. So, unless you will have the unit in a position where it will not be activated very often, I wouldn't recommend it. Get more detail about Honeywell RCA902N1004/N Wireless Motion Detector.

Order Belkin 6 Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector


I work in the IT industry, so every time people move offices they come to me for a power strip. I buy these power strips regularly because:

1. They have seemed to protect adequately for surges
2. They are very compact
3. They are cheap!!!!
4. The big one-- the power switch is on the side where the power cable exits the strip. This has a big advantage.

You'd be amazed how many times people, cleaning crews or others accidentally flip the power switch on a power strip that may be under the edge of a desk or in an area that can get bumped but isn't easily seen. That also causes problems because people don't understand why their stuff isn't working. Having the switch on the side dramatically reduces the frequency with which I get calls because "stuff stopped working"... No one ever expects the simple answer and always assume a device has gone bad, etc.

The color fits in with your average office creme color, and unless you are going to get a power squid or UPS I wouldn't spend more on a power strip than the cost of this. Get more detail about Belkin 6 Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector.

Item looks as given in amazon site. It works fine with notebook charging and other of general appliances. I tried charging two types of laptops - Compaq Pesario and Thinkpad T61. Only problem I see (rather hear) is sound of cooling fan inside this inverter which is high and even dominates your car AC fan at max. Point to tell here is I used in my 2007 Accord v6.

Shop For Honeywell RCWL300A1006 Premium Portable Wireless Door Chime and Push Button


I bought this wireless doorbell to replace another one from another manufacturer that I had bought at one of the big-box home improvement stores. (The other doorbell had stopped working) This doorbell appears to be very well made and works great. It's plenty loud, small, and very easy to install. I bought two push-buttons in silver for about $10 each and installed them by my front and back door. The front doorbell activates one sound and the back doorbell another so it's easy to tell where the visitor is. My wife commented that the doorbell sounds really nice. All in all a great purchase.Get more detail about Honeywell RCWL300A1006 Premium Portable Wireless Door Chime and Push Button.
