Can you make it use two switches for one outlet? I want one switch on the wall by the door, and the other switch near the bed, to operate a lamp.

Not on this device. Only one switch perhaps another device or if the lamp has an on/off could work for you

If you have two "boxes" that are on the same frequency (channel), both will operate with one switch. I know this because I had two that were on the same frequency. When I turned on the light in the living room, the bedroom went on as well. I exchanged one for a different frequency so that didn't happen.

My husband believes there were instructions for doing that, but we don't have the box any longer. Sorry I couldn't be more difinitive.

All the switches would have to be on the same frequency. Best to buy an additional set to operate the bed lamp

I actually did this and it does work. You have to make sure that you get two units that have the same frequency. HOWEVER, you cannot use one switch to control two boxes (my original plan) -- it will alternate them on and off.
1748612
good question, I am not sure since I only have one unit. But I think the frequency might be different so it might not work.

It should work, as long as the RF is the same for the two switches. I don't know how many RFs the manufacturers uses, you could take a chance and buy two and try it. Good luck

You can use this switch in an installation with only 2 wires. I have used a few of these devices over many years. While they are very handy, to me they seem to be fragile and sometimes die during/after a storm. I like them because they work in a normal wall box. Allen

I only use one of the outlets, but I don't think there is any way to have them work separately at different times.

Sorry, I can't help. I used this fixture in a rental unit and it is wired to use the switch on the fixture onlyMy guess is that if it is hardwired to the wall switch you will need to keep the fixture on and just use the wall switch. That is true with lamps that are plugged into a wall outlet that is wired to a wall switch.

Yes, providing you leave the switch in the "on" position (allowing power to the outlet). Note: depending how many wires, and what they are, in the box, breaking the tab may not have the usual effect (i.e. switching only one plug). For this to work, there must be at least at least four wires, hot, neutral, and a pair that goes to the sw.

It could, but you would have to leave the 3-way switches in the 'ON' position.Once any of the three switches are changed to the 'OFF' position there would be no power to the outlet/Heath device.Best to plug into a constant power source.The same applies to a floor or table lamp that has an in-line switch. That switch would have to be in the 'ON' position. We have three instances of this in our house.

Only if u plan to dismantle and wire the light. If not then no, only one switch will be sufficient.

I am not that familiar with half-switched outlets but I think this might work in one. This only plugs in to one of the wall outlets in a box, not both of them.

You can't use this one for both the main light and the night light. The description was misleading. I had to buy another dual pole switch (one for the vanity and one for the night light).

From my experience with this light switch, there is only one IR code and consequently no way to separately control multiple light switches in the same room. The Belkin Wemo light switches might better suit your needs.

That is correct. The number of plugs limits you to the number of devices unless you use a splitter. I have two lamps on my mantle plugged in to a splitter and two lamps on each side of my bed plugged in to a splitter. Each only uses one outlet plug.

This switch doesn't directly control power to the fan/light -- it's simply a remote control that is powered by wire rather than battery. If you want to be able to control the fan from two doorway areas, you could certainly buy two controllers and just set both of the signal switches to the same code. I'm not sure I've answered your question but hope it helps.

Yes, Kathie, it would be possible to use one, provided both lights are on the same lamp post and I would suggest having a professional wire it in. Mine works like a charm and is the best security light I have found.

Yes, you can. I bought two packages to do just that. Ultimately, I decided to use both switches, on opposite sides of the room. It works really well, as they are interchangeable.

Only one of the plugs is switched. (Z-Wave enabled outlet for the lamp or appliance that you would like to control and a standard pass-through AC outlet for other electrical appliance.)

Yes, I believe so. I can plug two of these into one outlet, if that is what you mean. (one on top of the other). The switch to turn on or off is on the side so you can still access it.
