Is this a standalone piece? that is, do I need to buy a control panel? Is turning on the switch is all it takes?

It's not a standalone piece. It's a wireless sensor which works with a Fortress Main Panel.

It has a "night light" feature that is on a different switch but for the main light, no it is tied to the use of the fan and there is no separate set of wires to break that function out from what I recall of the installation.

My understanding is that 4 panels can be linked together but no more without having a separate controller. Call the company, their customer support is amazing.

No, the unit does not automatically switch and it does require an external power supply. It comes with a remote control that I use to power on and switch ports.

None, comes with mounts so all you need is a power source and a togle switch.

Toggle switch, I also put relay from parts store on it also but I don't think you need it

No. This is just the panel and some wiring. Other parts must be bought seperately.

This unit does not feature autoswitching. It comes with a remote or you can manually select the input you wish to use from the front panel control button.

Would you recommend this instead of buying the wires and toggled switch separate for cheaper? Also how long does it take to complete the wiring or an estimate time?

If you want to control the fan and light separately then you will need a switch for each. If the night light is to be constantly on, then you will need a separate non-switched power source for that light. If you want to control the night light also you will need a third switch.In my installation I had one switch and no non-switched power since I was replacing a simple fan and I did not want to rewire the bathroom. The light and fan come on together when the switch is turned on. I didn't use the night light since I had no always-on source of power. For each thing (fan, light, night light) that you wish to turn on and off separately you will need a switch. If you want to control the fan and light separately then you will need a switch for each.

Hi it doesn't need separate switch, if you have to clean! You can unplug the little white plug. You have to remove the vent cover and find it easy, unplug it, clean it and plug it back, or turn off the circuit breaker.

Ours is installed with separate wall switches. One controls light, one controls fan. I can turn each on independently of the other. Perfect. Worked out great. Don't really use remote or mess with the controls on fan itself.

Sorry for the delay, but I needed to return home to examine the fan. Replace the wall on-off switch with a multi-position fan control switch. No remote is needed.

No, you will need a separate switch to control the light function. In one of my bathrooms I have a light built into the fan and I have a separate switch to control the light along side this fan control. This is a very good fan control switch and I think you will like the features and functionality. The only issue that some don't like is the green LEDs that are illuminated (one is always on. if the unit is off, the main buttonLED is on and the last default time LED is also on. If the unit is on then the button time that is selected is on. Some are concern about this at night, but it's kind of a night light for me. I hope this helps.

No, it's a splitter. You should get the switch. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B1V071E

You have two strings for independently control of light and fan. The light is just on/off. The fan is on/off and you have three speeds; low, medium and high. To provide power to unit, I have it set up with one wall switch. Once you turn on wall switch power, then manually can turn on/off light and fan. The unit does not come with a remote.

No...manual switch required. Has a timer setting, thermostat and fan speed, but stays in mode selected.
