Connect 2 surge protectors to One Remote: Does anyone know if we can have two surge protectors that would connect to one remote.

According to the video with the product producer over at Buy.com, you can sync many surge protectors to the same remote and even have the remote on different floors if you wanted. Adversely, you can also have many remotes each controlling specific surge protectors, too.

If both fan wall controllers and the remote have the same dip switch settings they should operate "as one".. however I would recommend a remote for each fan so they can run independently. I have three fans on our porch and having them independent of each other is well worth the price of the extra remote.

You have done this?So, just buy two of these and they will work with one another? Cool!

Hi David, unlike your house I do have 3 pronged outlets. I know you could get the juice to flow by uasing a 2 into 3 prong converter (mostly gray in color) and are cheap to purchase....BUT I AM NOT sure about the surge protection working, I would call Belkin....

Yes, you can! We have 4 and they worked great all together. You use 4 the same way you use 2....you have to aim each remote at each other and hit 'reset'...making sure all 4 light up and make reset noise.

Yes, you can fit up to two surge protectors, and a lot of wiring..even the Xbox 360 power box fits.. :-)

There is no reason that one switch cannot be operated from two remotes, as long as both remotes are sending on the same frequency. The only way to confirm or deny this would be to purchase two sets, and try using both #1 remotes with one of the switches. Although I haven't tried this, I believe it would work.

I believe the remote has buttons for three outlet units. My suggestion would be to get the three outlet units. You may find great uses for the others.

Yes, the surge protector will still work (although double check the surge protector's warranty coverage to be sure that you don't void it by using one, if that's an issue). The only potential issue is that if you plug too many things into a single socket you may trip a circuit breaker if you are attempting to draw too much power.

3-prong. Doubt you will be able to find a surge protector that is not a 3-prong. Any "jury rigged" connection would be dangerous. Find a person at your local hardware store who is knowledgeable about electrical connectors.

Hi Brian, you can use two extenders in one network, but you won't be able to "chain" two of them together to further extend the signal. If you're having trouble getting signal downstairs even with an extender, you might want to look into a Powerline setup!

I have not really had that challenge, However, the problem would be that if they are both set for one remote they will be operating in tandem and you might not be able to turn on one or adjust one and not the other. If It was me i would work off two remotes.

Yes. I've done just this exact set-up for different areas of house and with multiple remotes operating same outlets. If need to change, reprogram each remote to "new" outlet. Love these things because of ease of use in reassigning outlets to specific remote numbers.

If you're sure the one you have is still functional (does it have an indicator light?) you should not need another one at the CB box. However I have two older ones there and just installed another, since there were no indicator lights on the existing ones and they are over ten years old. They do lose their effectiveness in time, depending on how many surges they have experienced. Also I just installed a Supco SCM150 surge protector on each of two a/c compressor units as additional insurance (they are quite suitable for this also) since we live in SW Florida and get many nearby lightning strikes every summer.

maybe amazon made a mistake, or maybe you did. check your receipt/invoice and make sure you ordered the right item. if you did indeed order the 2 pack but received only one surge protector then definitely call amazon to notify them that you need one more power strip.

Ooooh. Your situation is different than mine. I think you can have quite a few of these panels working with one main control panel. I'm not to sure about multiple main control panels. Can't you use one less main control panel now that you have these remote one?

If you're looking to simply CONTROL multiple strips with one remote without the strips being powered by the same AC outlet, heck it can be done. I have three strips in their own window in one room, and I turn them all on/off with one remote. Each strip is plugged into its own AC outlet, and as long as the eye of the control box is in range or isnt blocked, one remote can control them all at the same time. Was that the question? =o)
