Two questions: 1) Can you power on/off using a switch on the main unit (i.e., without using the remote)?2) Is there a battery in the main unit?

No you can only turn on using remote No batteries in unit that plugs in only remote

Since it cuts the power to the box you are plugging the main unit, you could probably turn it off but not on from the main unit.

No "on/off" switch. Whatever time you put the batteries in the unit it stays on for 5 hours and repeats daily.

I have the 5 unit pack with the remote; there is no on/off switch on the socket itself. When unit is on and the power is interrupted, it turns off. When the power is restored it is necessary to use the remote to turn the unit back on again.

I apologize, I never looked. The micro-controller remote would be the only device with a battery as the switching units themselves get their power directly from the house mains. I know this, they have "changed my life" -- we have three lights in our living room, and each is controlled by the devices, and to be able to sit in my loveseat withmy feet up and turn them on or off as I desire is a dream come true!

No, it doesn't have an on/off switch but it won't annoy you because it goes into standby mode after one minute of inactivity and will go to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity. To reactivate the remote you simply hold the button down for 4 seconds and it awakens and is ready to go.

It cannot be powered off by the remote. That is a physical switch on the side.

Yes, it comes with a remote and a very cool multi function wall switch. We have an occasional issue when the unit will not switch on unless you push the main power off and back on. Thing works very well otherwise.

This unit is NOT powered by batteries. You turn it on by turning the knob on top. It is, by far, the best of these type controls I've ever used and I have 6 in use now. They last the longest and are the most trouble free.

When you use the built in remote, you press power and it turns on. Then when you remove power it turns off. However when you put power back it will REMEMBER the remote was set to ON, so it turns on as soon as power is applied. No need for the remote after that.

No off/on switch, just plug in and set temp. Don't know capacity, but is for family use, nothing grander than that.

This unit does not use batteries. There is a power supply included.The remote has a replaceable wafer battery and it lasted over a year for me.I imagine it could be more or less depending on how often you use it.

Yes, from time to time. Hold the OFF button (top left of remote) for 5 - 10 seconds to power off the unit. Wait a few seconds. Now push the OFF button again ( I forget if it's immediate or you need to hold again for 5 - 10 seconds) and the remote will power up and resest itself

Yes, the wall switch can be used to power on and off. You can use the remote to control the speed of the fan and the light.

No, There in no on/off switch. You have to open the battery door.Not a problem though. Worth it, because I can hear the clock ticking and the microwave beep, things I havent heard in years.

That is correct, there is not an on/off switch. I just wedge a piece of cardstock between the connectors so I don't run the batteries downs.
