Try this:

https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Wireles...s+light+switch


Is it just me or are Amazons prices on this way out of line? HD
apparently sells the same thing for around $15. $200+ for a $15 switch
and no green on it anywhere? For 14 times more money, I would expect
some green paint somewhere....


Comes up as $98.99 for me. Not sure it is the same thing as the HD switch.

Just looked on Amazon again, still shows 1 new for just $209.94

Not even close to the HD switch, which has a module that plugs into
a wall plug, into which you plug the lamp. The Amazon version gets
hardwired into the light fixture.

Big deal. My HD fan switch is hard wired into the fan/light fixture and
it costs just $31 and it controls the 3 speed ceiling fan and it's
lights on 3 settings.

The referenced Amazon switch is just a basic light switch. If unable to
find a simple wireless light switch, you could buy the Fan switch and
use it just for lights. Surely one could find a wireless switch for a
heck of a lot less than the listed Amazon switch which is listed new as
$209.94.

If anything, I would think a module that is hard wired would be cheaper,
and one that only controls one light vs a fan and a light would be
cheaper as well. If anyone wishes to spend $209 for a basic wireless
light switch, by all means, go for it, myself, I'd look around a bit...
