Is there any problem having this switch and a normal switch controlling the same light? Like how two light switches can control a living room light.

This will not work for a room with two switches. You need a "double pole" - when I ordered this product it stated double pole, but the packaging stated it was only single pole. I returned it.

No it doesn't work as simple light switch. There is an on off function for the sensor though. I do not see a lack of this function as a problem at all. :) I still recommend this.

My electrician setup 2 switches - I wish I knew how he did it. One wall switch will force the lamp on or off. The other allows it to stay in "security lamp" mode, so it only lights up when motion triggers the sensor.

The master & slave dimmer will only control one series of lights. If the two light sets were wired together and one light switch controlled both at the same time, then the dimmers & remote you bought will control them all at once. However, the two light sets won't be controlled separately with the remote you got. Either all at once, or you'll need seperate dimmers with remote for your second set of lights. I hope that helps you. Good luck!

Josie, I have installed two of these kits. One in my master bedroom, the other above my staircase and both work without issue. I did have a problem that is difficult for me to remember(it's been a long time since the install) that involved the light, it wouldn't operate. The issue turned out to be a wiring cross because I misread the directions, it was resolved when the wiring issue was corrected. Your problem sounds like it might be an issue with two light switches in the room. If you only have one switch in the room then I would recheck the wiring or return the unit affected by the switch.

You can use one remote for any number of lights provided they are in the same room. The only problem you might have is using a remote to turn on only a portion of the light units located near to each other.

It's never been an issue with me either. The unit functions perfectly and i have it on the 3 minute setting which seems to over-ride the light sensitive switch.

Out of the box, units operate independently, therefore will not have any problems using one for the ceiling and another one for the floor. Note that multiple controllers may be programmed to be operated by a single remote. Keep in mind that in such a configuration, the lights connected to different controllers may not change colors at exactly the same time (in auto color-changing mode).

Anything that transmits can potentially cause interference with any other transmitter if it is operating on the same frequency. We have a wireless network and a cordless phone system and have noticed no interference with the light switches. We have two of these units controlling two different light fixtures within 20' of each other as well. No problems and they've been in place for quite some time.

I have two lights at opposite end of room about 12 meters apart. Both have a remote and the remote will operate either light. Because the range of the remote is not far you have to control each light separately, but can use the same remote.

I have it on a shared 15 amp circuit with the other lights in the same bathroom and no issues. It's really no different than having multiple ceiling lights on in a kitchen depending on wattage.

I not sure I quite understand you, But This switch has worked well for me in the past. and it is the same type I'm using now. If you have one like this and it has worked well for you , why change a good thing, I would recommend you get the same kind of switch.

No, this is why the remote is present. If it worked like that, then the remote, itself, would be of no use or useless. You can simply set it to one settinf and hit the on and off button of the remote, which works just like that of a light switch.

No and that is my issue with this switch now. It worked great with incandescent bulbs but when I switched the three (porch area) out to LED, it controls them but also randomly turns each of the three in the circuit on and off like some odd Halloween light show -- only happens when it is supposed to be off and nothing picking up from the remote sensor. I even tried mixing back one incandescent bulb in an attempt to trick the circuit but it did not work any better.It looks like it is pulsing power out here and there which the LEDs are sensitive enough and require so little current that it momentarily lights them up.Time to look for another product that supports the new lighting standard.

No. You have to have 2 switches. Use the dimmer control for the ceiling fan and this for the light. You cannot put both the ceiling fan and light on the same switch. Too much amperage / wattage. I use this or the ge dimmer for the light and then the Leviton VRF01-1LZ Vizia RF for the ceiling fan.

There are no directions for what you are asking. If you had one switch control one light and the other switch control another light you would be ok if you understand basic wiring. However, you would not be able to have both switches control the same light unless you wired them as three way switches and always kept one of the doors closed. That would likely defeat the purpose of having each door switched.

Hi. My husband installed this, and we have it on two switches - one for the fan and one for the light. He could have put in three switches with one for the night light but we thought that was overkill :) So I am pretty sure you can wire all 3 things to one switch or do them individually, etc. So yes the fan light can be on its own switch or share. Hope that helps.
