What does the multi-location function enable? Can't think of where I would want to "control a single light from up to 10 locations"? Is it for lights controlled by 2-way or 3-way switches?

These controllers don't work like the normal 3 way style, you need either another one of these or the non-level control version of this line. Nice thing is, you can set them up easily (not cheaply) to control from many more than just 2 locations, with or with the dimming function.

From my experience with this light switch, there is only one IR code and consequently no way to separately control multiple light switches in the same room. The Belkin Wemo light switches might better suit your needs.

I put in a 4 function switch but only had 3 wires. I left one wire unconnected. [My contractor left my 3 way Nutone switch in place when he replaced the Nutone fixture with Panasonic, and the Panasonic worked for a year (without being able to turn on the night light). When the light switch malfunctioned, I replaced it with the 4 wire switch.]

Well No, You cant ... I had a dual switch as well that controlled 2 different lighting, and I ordered this one and tried and it does not work. I dont think there is anything out there for dual switch. Also for zwave to work you need to have reciever like Vera etc...I am not sure if you have that.Hope that helps.

Each of the four buttons on this device are designed to control a SCENE (i.e. multiple devices). A lamp module can be part of a scene. For instance - my "Good Morning" scene turns on lights in the upstairs hallway & stairs, the entryway, my study, the kitchen and a floor lamp in the family room. The floor lamp is controlled by a lamp module. You cannot dim individual lights within a scene using this device but I suppose you could create a scene consisting of just one light if you wanted to. Then you should be able to use the dim/bright feature. BTW - I use a Vera Lite device for whole house control. It seems to work well, is fairly easy to set up and has an iPhone app so you can control your lights from your iPhone.

Unless you room is very small, you need not worry. I have the same situation and each controller can work either picture. The range of the controller is about 10 feet and it seems to be directional. I point the controller at one picture and click. I repeat the point and click at the other picture and it lights while not turning the first picture light off. Works great!

You can write multiple scenes (various collections of light on or off) and schedule them for different times of the. In addition the system is compatible with Wink and similar programs for group light control. I have not seen or used a true random scene generator, but the scheduled scenes should offer enough variety. In addition you can periodically log in from anywhere (via phone or tablet) and turn individual lights or scenes on or off to provide added variety. All in all, a great system for my uses.

I am planning to have 3 of these units all connected to a 3 way dimmer and a regular switch on the other side of the house.... will the wait 2 seconds always ON feature work with this set up?... ans also.... would you do the wait 2 seconds action again to put it back on automatic motion mode?

No you cannot. We bought parts at Radio Shack and made our own switch allowing us to control on/off for each light.

It's to avoid interference with multiple remotes and lights by switching to different channels. Makes each light work with each remote. I have not tested it, but I believe you can control more than one light at the same time (why, who knows?) if you set the dip switches on the lights and remote the same. Otherwise, it's just to avoid interference on one unit.

You can use one remote but you have to turn each one on individually. Also be aware that even though it says they have memory to retain your settings, that is only if you turn it off with the remote. If they loose power for any reason your settings are lost! Poor design for a commercial outdoor fixture.

As others have stated, it's for the remote control. We have two of these and I can control both of them with one remote when setting them on the same setting. I also e-mailed Mr. Beams customer service before purchasing and they also stated you can control multiple lights with one remote.

Yes, I have the same situation. You can leave the switch on the light on and control it from inside, or you leave the inside switch on and control it at the light. It WON'T work like a 3-way.

I installed enough light panels where two on/off switches were required. Therefore, I can turn off the section controlled by a particular switch while leaving the other on. To answer your, each light panel cannot be turned off or on individually.Bert

You plug this into the wall socket, and then plug in the fixture that you want to control. the switch is between the wall and the socket on the box. So no, it would not control anything but the one plug, but you do get 5 different ones you can control.

My lights do that, too, and I read the instructions. If you push the mode switch, it will continuously run thru the 8 modes. You can't just pick one out of the 8. I like the way they keep changing, but I suppose if you just use the on button, you could get a steady light.

You would need to set each switch at a different frequency; this is an issue that my husband investigated before installing our switches. You may know already but you can only use one switch per lighting series.
