does this switch have the soft start feature?

I use the switch to manually turn my lamp post light onand off on occasion. Mainly it turns my post light on and off at the designated times

I would have to say no if I understand your question correctly. This switch works great with incandescent bulbs. Years ago when they came out with the CFL's I noticed this switch reactions to the pulse of the CFL ballast, which would turn the bulb right back on. My hopes were that with the ability of LED's to dim that I would be able to use these switches again, but my experience so far is that they do not work with the very low power consumption of 3 or 4 4-watt bulbs on one switch. I also experienced the same problem using a electronic flashing device for the early rope lights. When changing over to LED rope lights the 50' rope, the veritable adjustment on the flasher would not work unless I added a second 50' section. The flasher was rated for up to 9-amps, but it obviously had a minimum of 4-amps required for the flasher to work. Possibly this switch would work with 10 4-watt LED bulbs, but not with 15 watts.

Not sure what you're referring to..."soft start"? But it does turn on gradually to the level at which you've previously set. You simply press n hold to increase light brightness then release. If you press n hold a second time, the light will begin to dim gradually until completely off (must be an incandescent light, not to exceed 500 watts). Once you're happy with how bright or dim you've set the unit, and it receives a X10 "on" signal, the light will turn on to the brightness you set it at. Most people just put it on full brightness.

Unfortunately, no. I tried plugging it into a timer for that very ability. That didn't work because once the power is off the start button needs to be pressed to turn it on.

No, it does not have a remote start. I might add that it does dependably pull start usually on the first or second pull though.

Yes. In fact, it doesn't have an "on" switch, just boots when you apply power. You can shut it down via a menu option.

Not that I'm aware of. I was under the impression it was manual select to begin with but it's not it automatically goes to the device that's on.

Yes, It is, but it's not auto switch. You need to switch it by toggle the red color toggle switch at the back of the chassis.

No, it has no switch or indicator. It switches at one speed, automatically, per it's design.

No it doesn't. However, the current version is a piece of junk; it didn't work for me and I'm very familiar with previous versions of the switch. Don't buy it.

Yes. You can enable or disable the feature with the attached dip switches. Just review the instructions at installation

No - these switches stay in the middle position at all times. You can always tap up or down to turn on or off.

Starts as soon as you apply power. You could add a simple switch though if you like

Yes. There is a short pause when you switch but, other than that no problems.

No! One side is POWER ONLY. This is not a switch. This is for your pocket hard drive. Don't try anything else.

Susan. No it does not. The 6 circuits in this switch are hooked up to 6 individual circuits in your main panel.

Can't exactly speak from experience on that one, but if you have the switches turned to the on position it turns on. Even if you just plugged it in, so i would assume so.

Sorry, I can't say. I used it for a different application. I can tell you that it's a pretty standard switch. First position is (off) 1 click clockwise is maintained switch (ignition) push in on key is a momentary switch (electric choke) further turn clockwise is another momentary switch (electric starter) ignition remains on throughout

Yes, this does have a soft start and it works very nice - I was very pleased.
