Completely unusable for living areas with low-voltage halogens. The obnoxious buzz emitting from any 110/12V transformers controlled by this switch is unbearable. I tried to cover them up somehow, but the buzz is just too much, too loud for any such measure. I am so disappointed that someone would pull a “design” like that. This is not a galvanic switch, it’s some kind of a triac based voltage scrambler. The switch switches off when the load is disconnected, by the way. I have 4 halogens in this room, which I wanted to control by this remote switch and pulled them out one by one to see if one of them is making this noise, but in fact every transformer was “buzzing” equally in quartet, so to speak.

Ah well, pack and send back. Made in China, how symptomatic.

For what it’s worth, an information which I missed in Leviton description and every other review here:
The receiver takes 4 AAA batteries, and can be attached to the wall using adhesive tape, no any wall opening would be necessary.

I was very disappointed in Targets way of packaging a $350 product. I got the package and felt it rattling all around inside. Granted there is no physical/visual damage. Just saying…its a 350 dollar piece of electronics!
