Can it be used as a push and hold garbage disposal switch?

Since this is a Z-wave switch, you could rig it depending on what controller you are using. HOWEVER, I would not advise ever connecting a garbage disposal switch to anything other than a mechanical switch. Z-wave is great, but if you were to configure it, and an unintended software interaction occurred, you could cause physical harm. Also, depending on what type of z-wave environment you have, propagation delays could delay turn-on or turn-off. Imagine getting a wedding ring stuck in the disposal, and having a 4-second delay for turn-off ): While it would probably work for a remote switch, I strongly recommend against it.

This product could not be used as a push and hold type of switch. The push button is on/off only. So, I suppose, push once, garbage disposal on, push again and it will turn off. Though personally, I would be a little sketched out to use a smart switch with my garbage disposal. I envision many a horror potentially occurring with type of setup. Zwave wireless products are getting fairly consistent and predictable but not so much so that I would risk life and limb just yet. -Tim

You might be able creat an event that can make it work that way but I would not recommend connecting my didposal to anything automated because I put my hand in there at times to get things out and I don't want any chance of that thing coming on and making hamburger meet out of my hand.

Yes. I have this sink and installed a new garbage disposal when I installed the sink. Works great!

Absolutely. I have a variable speed switch mounted in the right side of the base.

Yes. It is essentially a switched outlet. It plugs into a standard 3-prong outlet an has another socket on the front side. I'm using it to control a 3/4 HP Waste King brand disposal.

No, an existing wall switch will not interfere with the operation of your disposal. An InSinkErator power module connects with your disposal and an electrical outlet (under your sink), but the switch operates on an air pump, not electricity. I have attached a link to the InSinkErator installation guide. http://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/Documents/Disposer/sinktop_switch_brochure.pdf

Most likely it will work, but you're leaving half of the switch unused. Most Lowes, Home Depot and Menard's carry the switch that you need for less money.

I haven't tried it, but think you can by setting the same dip switch position on both the two receptacles and the switch. You can confirm by calling the manufacturer customer support @ 1-800-858-8501

I used it for an alarm systemAnd all I had to do was push it and worked so I believe it will be push to close

Answer is no for dip switches, but works with older style Craftsman/Liftmaster/Chamberlain with a GREEN programming button

If you are referring to the air switch option available for insinkerators, the answer is no. This is a batch-fed disposer, which is the safest possible, as it requires a hand held guard to be inserted into opening to activate disposer. This makes it impossible to stick a hand into a running disposer.

I don't see why not, as long as there is not too much current for this switch and it's wires. Keep it away from PC parts that might be sensitive to magnets like your hard drives.

Hello Karen, That would depend if the power locks works on a momentary switch or not. That's like a rocker switch that goes back to off after you push it. So it might not be your best option. See if you can find a momentary wireless remote relay for power locks. Hope this helps.

I do not see why not. This is just a fancy push button switch that closes a circuit.

No,the switch is not a push button. It is a toggle switch that is also bronze. Hope this helps.

The switch is GFCI and can be used to start a Garbage Disposal of other appliance requiring GFCI circuits

I've never tried it. The catch bucket seems to be passive, but might engage some switches when it's in place, without which the unit won't run.
