Will this switch work with a RF universal remote that I use with my home theater? If so, do I need anything else besides the switch?

I don't believe it will work with a remote. You could use the insteon app on your phone.

I don't think so. It only responds to Insteon commands, and I believe most home theater equipment use a different protocol. I have the Lutron Maestro in my theater -- it uses an IR remote and the commands can be memorized by my Logitech Harmony.

It is not a dual-band switch. So it does not work over RF. You can install another Insteon dual-band (RF and power line) device and it will allow you bridge from RF to power line and control the switch with either a wired or wireless Insteon remote switch. You didn't say what RF remote you are using for your home theater but it will need to be Insteon compatible and you will need an Insteon dual-band device in proximity to bridge the two. Their plug in wall controllers for lamps are one example of dual-band devices. Just look for 'dual-band' in the Insteon description.

Yes, this will work with anything you can plug into it. It's just a simple on/off switch from the remote though.

Not sure about your existing switch, but it should work. My wall switch works, but I also mounted the remote on the wall, because it comes with a neat little holster for it, because it has a dimmer on the remote and you can easily adjust speed settings with it. Your dimmer will probably work, but you may not have the ability to adjust the speed with the wall switch you already have. This is an outstanding, sleek, and well made product I would recommend. I installed it myself. It even has a hook to hold the weight while you mount and hook up the wiring, if I remember correctly.

Yes. You just want to make sure the FCC and P/N match (on back of current remote). Thanks!

Each set will need a master and a companion (if using a multi-location, 3way). You can use the same remote for each set but they will both pick up the signal if you're putting the switches near each other. So, if that isn't y our intention, you might want to rethink. I have my LR and Kitchen on different walls to avoid this, but use one remote to control each separately.

depends on how you wire it If you wire it to the existing wiring it should work withthe remote but puts a very heavy load on your wiring-using a relay would be the smart thing to do

Absolutely. The RF battery will not alter how your remote works today, it simply adds RF.

No. I am sure there are better choices. In fact I just removed and recycled this switch. It became very unresponsive to the remote and I can no longer recommend this product.

Keep in mind this only repeats commands from Logitech hubs. Since I'm not sure what your remote setup is, I cannot say for sure whether it will work in your setup. I use the blaster to extend my Logitech RF system to an additional IR device that's not in plain sight of my DVR, receiver, Apple TV and Blu-Ray. I believe it will only work with the Logitech Hub.

Yes. I use it on VCR / DVDR combo. Some buttons may have to be programmed so you must have the unit's remote handy until the RF20 is set up.

I believe the Logitech 890 is the most popular one that will do what you want. I have the Logitech 880 model, which does not transmit RF signals that are required to do the lighting, etc you mentioned. here is a quote from the 890's Amazon page and a link to it. You can also check the Logitech 1000, the latest and greatest Logitech remote. Link to Logitech 890 Universal Remote: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Harmony-Advanced-Universal-Control/dp/B000CS1TLE/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1200787712&sr=1-21 "Logitech's Harmony 890, an upgrade to the Harmony 880 remote control, uses both radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) wireless signals to deliver powerful complete control of your home-entertainment system that may be hidden behind cabinets. With a wireless range of up to 100 feet, the Harmony 890 remote sends RF commands to a wireless receiver, which then blasts infrared signals to the components. The Harmony 890 remote makes universal control for home entertainment and advanced lighting systems simple. "

First off good morning. Second you just need the model of what ever device you want the remote to be ex: DVD player, tv or cable box. Then it ask you questions just answer and if its comparable it should work

not sure if you can do that with this switch unless you find a remote that works on the same frequency

If u wire in the wall switch it will work, but the remote is to eliminate that so u don't have to get up and turn it off and on, or change the speed----- .--
