would i be able to cut the plug end off of this and wire directly to a switch?

You could plug it in to a switched outlet or a switched multi-plug. It still would only come on when the thermostat said it is needed. The pug itself is the transformer.

It comes with a plug, but I suppose if you cut off the plug and stripped back the wires it might be possible. Not sure I would do it though.

The answer to your question is no. This is a inline switch that is designed to hang from the cord. I hope this helps.

nope, but you could easily splice a wire in between the plug. I got news for you, 1 of these doesn't do much!

maybe yes maybe no...if you already have an existing switch on the wall that is just on/off that is 110v... then yes....just take it out and replace with this...if no then you will need additional components.

Yes, you can wire it directly to it, but it will be better if you connect a relay.

Yes !but actually what you would do it's simply don't connect it, but to turn it on and off you would have to cut the power to the outlet used to plug it !

You have an option, use the device as is which I believe had an on off switch or do like I did cut the wire and direct wire it. Mine is on my boat and I have them just tied together connected with a flip switch

Yes, providing you leave the switch in the "on" position (allowing power to the outlet). Note: depending how many wires, and what they are, in the box, breaking the tab may not have the usual effect (i.e. switching only one plug). For this to work, there must be at least at least four wires, hot, neutral, and a pair that goes to the sw.

you can proably wire it to do that, but I run a light off the switch and power the receptacle

It's hard wired at both ends (device and probe) so you'd have to be an electrician and do it yourself, which I wouldn't recommend.

In my experience, I did cut it but used the opposite end to connect the strips to 12Volts, both ends have wires for connection. I don't think if you cut a piece from the middle and try to connect to 12 Volts it will work. Because I don't know how you would connect it. I purchased an extra roll of light for these kinds of short connections.

Yes it can be. simplest way is to cover the light sensor and it works as regular switch light.

If you cut the plug off the end of the power cord, you could then separate and strip the wires. Then you would be able to "hard wire" to whatever power source you have.

If the cord is no bigger then a standard lamp cord, AND the cord is flexible, AND it is a simple 'on/off' signal you're attempting switch, I think it would work. The switch works fine for me but it is really poorly designed - the terminal screws are at a right angle to the direction the cord runs through the housing. Good luck!

It would not be difficult, the primary switch would wire the same way the secondary you would have to take black wires to the switch and do away with the neutral

You could cut the cord and hard wire it but since the on/off switch is on the cord you would no longer be able to turn the light off.
