Will this switch work in my existing plate?I see that it comes with it's own plate, which is why I ask.Can I use my existing switch plate?

If you are referring to the cover- yes. I used a regular cover for this switch.

The switch actually doesn't come with a plate. Your existing plate should work fine, as long it's a regular switch plate and not a decora style.

The unit takes up the space of a standard switch. Go to any decent sized hardware store and you should be able to find a cover plate with the large rectangular hole in the middle and two standard slots for light switches on either side. If you can't the do make modular covers. You'd buy the section with the large rectangular hole and two "end sections" which have the smaller slots. They snap together and screw into place as usual

i have installed 2 of these so far. No additional wall plate/cover is needed. i have not installed next to other switches, so cannot answer for that.

I installed this in a double electrical box that had one switch for a light and one for a fan. I installed it using the fan switch wiring only and kept the light switch the same using the original double switch plate to cover both. Long way of saying Yes.

that's how mine is set-up w/ a duplex Decco plate, although in understand that this switch has an auto off designed in. Mine was a replacement sw.

It will fit a standard light switch box but it may be very tight. Excess wiring in the box can be a problem. As far as the switch plate is concerned, the Intermatic timer has square corners so you either have to buy the plate that is made for it or get one of the other plates at your local home improvement store and square up the corners with a file.

You do not need to remove wall plate. Yes, it comes with a long screw. If you have a double wall plate it will fit over just the switch you need.

RE: FaceplateI installed my Skylink in a box with two other switches and just used a three switch cover plate that I bought at Lowes. It fits fine.

I do not change the switch plate. I free motion with stitch length set on zero and cover feed dogs with a "Supreme Slider. " It works great for me!!!

When we originally bought this item, it replaced a light switch. It fit in fine next to two other light switches. The same switch plate we used before covers all three.

No. Wall plates do not come with this switch. You'll have to pick that up separate.

It does attach to the wall switch plate but you have to remove the switch which we don't want to remove. I would say a poor design. I have seen other mounts that allow you to hang the holder without interfearing the switch. As the other person answering states you would need to mount it in the wall.

Sorry, I don't know. Either order the same brand and part # of your defunct switch or try to match up the ports and sizes and specifications as best you can. I ordered the exact brand and part # plus was careful to match the ports and specs, and it works fine.

You just plug it into the existing outlet plate. It does, however, come with a long screw that you could use if you unscrewed the one on your current plate. On mine, I didn't bother to do that. One note, for some reason, they use only one metal 3 prong plug set and one plastic 'fake' set, so all 6 outlets go through one plug.

Yes this will work with a 4 switch plate. It works with single, 3 way, and 4 way circuits.

You will need to get a licensed Electrical to solve your problem. To connect the switch correctly it is important to do a proper connection to get this switch to work. It is critical as an improper connection can damage the electronic controls in the switch and then it is damaged. Sorry I am not there to help you out but a local electrician should be able to check this out for you.

I used this switch to replace an existing one. If your wiring is already in the door frame, just install the switch in the door frame. It activates when you open the door, disconnects when you shut the door. If you want one to do the opposite, you will have to find a different type of switch.
