I need a remote 3 way switch to turn on an outdoor light on at a barn about 300' from the house.

Something DURABLE. The last one died after a year or so.

I use one of these with an added A/C relay to control my 240 V dust collector system remotely; it's lasted five years to date. You wouldn't need the extra relay for just a 120 V light, though - just use the internal 30A contacts.

The stated range seems marginal, though, given you require 300 feet range guaranteed. The 328 feet number is I'm guessing just an estimated range, given it equals 100 meters.

Wow, I'm not sure what is more impressive - the specs or the price!

Going down the Lutron route crossed my mind, but the distances seems a bit much. It might work if you have Lutron hubs in both locations, but then you are at a high cost and complexity.

I'v had great luck with sonoff paired switches. Switch in the house is 3way with one in the detached garage. I married flood lights on the back of the house with side of the garage.
