Module reacts to your voice commands
Easy, plug-and-play setup
Turns a light on and dim it with the sound of your voice

You don't have to stumble through the dark in order to turn a lamp on or
flip a switch. Turn a lamp on with the sound of your voice. The
Voice-Controlled Lamp Module with Dimmer plugs in to any 120V/60Hz AC outlet
and is triggered by your voice commands to turn lights on and off and even
dim them to one of three levels.

The Voice-Controlled Lamp Module with Dimmer sets up in seconds. Plug the
incandescent lamp to be controlled into the two-prong jack on the module,
set the lamp or appliance to the ON position, and then plug the module
itself into any standard AC outlet.

Choose one of three brightness levels by voice. Just say the word "Computer"
in a firm voice to put the module in the listen mode. Then, depending on
which light level you want, simply say "High," "Medium" or "Low". To turn
the lights off, repeat the "Computer" command, then say "Off." You also have
the option of programming it to understand your own words, in any language.

Want the ability to turn on a fan or other appliance by voice as well? Then
choose the Voice-Controlled Lamp/Appliance Module, which turns a load on and
off by voice commands.

Lots of people appear to have bought these, and the comments are all over
the map, but many readily admit they fail in the presence of even moderate
background noise as might be expected.
