As far as I know these are not remote control. Run by 3 AA batteries. I didn't read enough about them so didn't realize they are battery-run. I wanted plug-ins that I could connect to Wyze plug and Alexa. My fault but they are very pretty lights.I love the lights & I just wish they made these to take bigger batteries because AAA or AA just does not last long at all. I wish they made these so they can be plugged into a USB outlet or regular outlet plug-in. Otherwise I love the lights!!These lights are great. I use them on wreaths and to decorate for holidays but... we lost power during hurricane ian and these lights were awesome. This is better than flash lights and candles. So bright. And not expensive.They are bright but burn thru batteries quickly and the way they tangle made me feel they weren’t so safe for my kids bed.Really like the color of these lights. They are just the right amount of light needed at night.This worked perfectly for the ceiling drapery I had up over the dance floor and put these fairy lights in the drapery it looked excellent beautiful and fun. Battery life for six hours add more was excellent. I’ll be using it for other eventsVery nice lights. No dimming control, just on and off. I was surprised at how small the package was and then how long it extended to when uncurled. Feels fragile and takes a bit to undo, but I liked them enough to buy a second strand.As title states smaller amount than I expected but otherwise everything works well!
