I have a three-way switch - 1 controls the fan and the others two lights. I was hoping this could be a replacement. But can it?

No, not enough room in the box. You would have to cut drywall and replace with a larger one. This switch needs a whole single and a deep one at that.

I have it on the same circut as the wall plug. I think you would have to run seperate wire for the switches to lights or whatever, but it sits nicely next to the plugs. common cover for them. Sounds like you have two switches now so this should work.

My model did not have the light but I would not use your existing switch combo. I used a separate switch for the heater just an on/off 20 amp paddle. If I had to do it again I would have used they type that has a small led light to show it is in the on position. I also used this switch for the exhaust. I really like it, it stays on for 30 minutes or will automatically go on once it senses moisture..... DewStop FS-100 Condensation Control Sentry Fan Switch, White If you haven't bought it as yet I would take another look at the unit w/o the light.... the light loos lousy.... buy a separate 4" led instead IMHO.

Suzan - I believe you wanted to say that you have a 3 single-pole combination switches - right? In other words you have a one device with 3 rocking switches to control 2 lights and a fan. In this case I will concur with Kevin that you need electrical wall done by qualified professional. Alternatively you could get some nifty solution where a wireless "smart" switch would control a "smart" bulb. Those switches and bulbs ought to be on the market by now. In such case you would just stick the "smart" switches on the wall with a double stick tape and use this device to control only the fan.

I have one line running to it. The lights go on when the moisture hits it or you can do it manually. U can run a seperate line to run the lights seperate if you would like

I don't think this will work for you. It's really a sensor switch for you exhaust fan. It only controls one device. There is a sensor on top, an on switch in the middle, and an off switch on the bottom. You connect it to your exhaust fan. It is turned on by either the sensor (high moisture detected) or the on switch and stays on for 30 minutes. It can be turned off any time by the off switch. If when it goes off there is still too much moisture, it will turn itself back on for another 30 minutes.

no, it cannot simply replace a switch, it only works with a controller, and you have to have 4 z-wave switches that this controller will control

Some fans you can buy a regular fan speed three way switch. You can buy those at Lowes or Home Depot. It is a ceiling fan three way replacement switch. Some brands of fans you cannot. But hopefully in your case you can get a replacement switch. They are not hard to change. In most cases it is only two wires, a black and white wire. Hope you have success in your project, and have an awesome day.

Yes, it replaces a single pole switch and it reduces the speed, so if you have another speed control inline with the switch, you would want to set it on the HI setting and let this switch control the fan speed.

A four way lighting situation usually consists of 2 3-way switches and one 4-way switch. This should work if you use it to replace one of the 3-way switches, but will probably not work to replace the 4-way switch. John John

No. The switch for a 3-way is different. The wiring, fan or not, is also. I do not know if a 3-way version of the in box fan control exists. You could just use a regular 3-way switch set-up treating the fan as though it were just a light bulb. You can then use the battery powered remote that comes with the fan to control the fan and it's light. You could also acquire a second battery remote so a remote could be next to both switches. I suggest you contact an electrician if you need more information.

It is best to have unswitched power to the fan unit, a two function switch would work well with the lights.

It should, however, I wonder if what you are trying to say is that if the same switch turn the fan and the light at the same time, or if you have two switches one for the light and the other for the fan? Mine, I have it installed with one switch and turns both the light and the fan, however since I also have recessed lights in this room, I have decided to leave the lights of the fan off and only use the fan. Hope this helps you.

Hi. My husband installed this, and we have it on two switches - one for the fan and one for the light. He could have put in three switches with one for the night light but we thought that was overkill :) So I am pretty sure you can wire all 3 things to one switch or do them individually, etc. So yes the fan light can be on its own switch or share. Hope that helps.

Do you want to control your fan and light from more than one location or do you want to put this device in a 2 or 3 gang box? No you cant use this as a 3 way switch. Yes this wil fit in a box with another maestro - If we are talking a bout a two gang or larger box.

I would not consider easy but possible. I had a three way switch without separate fan switch. When I installed the Panasonic unit I installed switch for light, fan, and nightlight. You are ahead of the game with fan switch so not too bad. Definitely took some time sketching wiring diagram. This unit is very flexible and will work for this purpose.
1526491
Yes, you can just join the light and the fan wires together in the junction box on the unit to control both from one switch.

No, it is for a fan and one light. There is another different switch for two lights of 300W maximum each.

It will not work with a standard 3 way switch. You need to replace each 3-way with one of these. I used one of these and a 2334 Keypad dimmer switch. Either one can control the load, and the two devices are linked together. Be sure you have a neutral wire at each switch location. If it does not exist you should be able to use the existing 3 conductor cable to provide this.

Sorry the light switch is a variable glider, the fan 4 speeds even if it is a 3 speed.

I believe that you will need two wall switches --- one for turning the fan on/off and one for turning the light on/off.

It will replace any standard wall mounted light switch, or any standard dimmer switch for incandescent bulbs. I don't see why you would connect a 3-way bulb to a dimmer switch, since you already have 3 levels of light adjustment. Would it work? I guess.
