does the receiver plug go into an existing outlet or is everything battery powered? i understand the switch is the wireless controller for the outlet, which is what im looking for.

Yes, Just plug it into an outlet, and then your lamp etc into it. very Easy!

The switch module plugs into an existing outlet and the switch itself can be mounted anywhere.

The receiver is definitely 110 volts and sensitive to proper hookup. The transmitter is battery operated.

It is not battery operated. It can be powered by the included power adapter or via PoE (Power over Ethernet), if you have a PoE capable switch. I am using mine with PoE since I have it mounted outside the house and Ethernet is more stable, secure and provides a faster connection to the network. Besides, using PoE requires only one cable be run to the outside (no separate power cable required.)

The switch is independent of any box. The receiver part plugs into an outlet & is a little large. However, if plugged into the upper socket of a 2-outlet box, most of it sticks above the box and does not block the lower socket. One point I must make is that the outlet on the receiver is only for a 2-prong plug and has no ground. I had to use a 3-prong adapter to plug in a grounded plug and ground the adapter to the outlet box.

This is a wireless unit. Power is supplied by a 9v battery. The only "corded electric" power source is the receiver on the garage door opener itself.

No, it's not electric powered. No need to plug it into an electrical outlet. I have two of these, & they work perfectly. You plug your RCA/S-Video plugs into the Input and Output jacks and then into your DVD player/Roku box/whatever & your TV and you're good to go. Warning: you WILL need your own RCA/S-Video cables with these boxes because you get the switch box only, not the cables.

Yep. It's a bit confusing how they phrase it in the description, so I understand why you would ask this. The accessory switch requires power, i.e. 110v line, neutral, and ground. It communicates with the main switch, or your zwave controller, from there. It's hard wired in the sense that it needs 110v power, but does not directly get wired to the light or other output.

The switch on this one can't be worked into a normal wall outlet. It is configured to be supported by a battery. There are similar switches out there that can be installed in standard wall fixtures and can even pull power from the switch box. This is not one of them.

The "sending" unit attaches to your garage door wirelessly, battery powered. The "receiving" unit ties in to your wired door opener via two low voltage wires, are used to open/close door. This unit is also battery powered. Both have Velcro as well as hole for screw mounting. Since they are battery powered, you'll need to change batteries on both units periodically. Hope this helps!

One wall switch, one receiver. The wall switch is power by electricity, replaces a wall switch for a light. No battery.

It has a rj45 cable (network cable) that goes from the controller to the device. No power is needed.

The switch and the outlet operate independently. I have this installed inside a bathroom closet to operate the overhead light fixture and also juice up a rechargeable razor - the razor still charges even when the light is off.

The receiver is powered by a plug in brick that converts 110 volts it to 9v 500ma DC. There's no room in the receiver for a battery. You could probably hook it up to a 9v battery; not sure how long that would last.

Hi, No you wire it into your wall outlet and turn it on with a wall switch. Hope that helps.

Only the receiver plugs in to 110V. The transmitter has a 9V battery that last longer than a year and is easy to replace - the unit flips down. I have been using one over a side iron gate for years. I was so pleased with this product I recently purchased another receiver and 2 transmitters. I plan to mount one over my driveway.

The existing switch is replaced with the receiver switch, it is wired just like the switch you are replacing. You will put a battery in the transmitter switch witch can be placed any where. It controls the light as a three way switch.Your only limitation is the distance that your remote switch is from the receiver switch.

It just have hot, return and ground wires coming out the back of the wall plate. No on/off switch and no plug. It's designed to go into a junction box set into the wall. We couldn't do that, so we mounted it to an external box on the wall and ran a wire back to a plug-in wall socket.
