It's been pointed out that the relay is marked as being rated for 125VAC which makes it a bit shady for use on 220 to 250V supplies (which is what it's designed for!) A worst case scenario could be the contacts arcing when open with a high inductive load, and the risk of fire.
I was expecting this remote control socket to be terrible inside, but I was wrong. Note that this unit lacks an important safety feature often found in other similar units. A thermal fuse mounted on the relay that kills power if the relay contacts start burning.
Note that it also has a pointless non functioning earth connection and should not be used for high current loads.
To program a remote use the button on the switch to turn it on (LED lit.) and then hold the button in until the LED has gone off and then on again. When you release the button the LED should flash and that's when you should point a standard infrared remote at the unit and press the button you want to use. If the code is recognised the unit will then stop flashing and operate on that button.
You can program up to 16 remotes before the unit drops off previous codes.
To delete all codes start with the unit in an off-state (LED out) and hold the button on the socket in until the LED lights and then goes out again.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

The ( larger ) versions of these , should they be faulty ( or lost the remote ? ) can be re-used ! … strip out the electronics and fit a 2 μF capacitor ( from most defunct UK central heating pumps ! ) between the live ( in ) and live ( out ) , neutral and earth keep connected thru …. this makes an IDEAL ( zero loss ) mains dropper for your UK Poundland™ 60 Watt Tungsten filament " squirrel – cage " lamp , for use as a night-light … the bulb will then last longer than you do , OMG ! … ( US readers MUST adjust values of capacitor / voltage rating ? ) … ( tried – n tested ) ….. 🐵 .. DAVE™ … 🛑
Certainly it gives an insight into the Chinese National Power Supply ✍️😃

cmon dont keep the blade out on your knife when you are not using it!
2.65 including shipping. How are they possibly making any money!?
Still using the x10 home automation system just had to order a new remote cuz my remote just stopped working but they're sold still on Amazon new in box
Deal dear🦌 or deal dear👩❤️👨? 😂
Used wiper blade components look remarkably like lock pick tools.

Automobile key fobs I think would be hot.
Is it the type that will turn on when transmiting at 5watts on a Two radio. It's always fun driving past homes talking on a radio as the radio transmissions set off peoples security light's due to electricians failing to install RF chokes in lighting circuits.
I've been running one of these for 3 years, no issues with overheating at all! Also, there's a nice feature for the Aussies with this one, the pins on the plug can pivot to allow them to be plugged into an AU/NZ outlet!
What is a power factor exactly?
