Does this product work if the two devices are on different circuits (same circuit breaker box, but different circuit)?

Yes, it works on different circuits, but please be aware, and this may of been an isolated issue with my units, but they fried everything I connected them to (a desktop PC, a network switch and a security camera DVR). I had my power checked and all is well with my power in my house.

The answer is that it depends. They can indeed be on different circuits through the breajer box. But most houses have two "sides" to them. Specifically, the inbound 220V is split into two 110V sections. So all Power line units must be on the same 110V section.

Yes, as long as the device is on the same circuit breaker box it will work just fine.

I have to assume that by different circuits you mean one main but circuits on different breakers or fuses. As long as both circuits are active, that is the breaker is in the "on" position, the adapters should work.

It should be worked if the splitter does not have any problem. The one i got from this seller was not working.

Be aware that in some cases they do not work across circuit breakers. I can plug one in at my computer and the other unit will not connect at about a third of the outlets in my home. And the interesting point is that it isn't necessarily the distance between the outlets (of course the path of the cable inside the walls and through the breaker box are not as obvious). But when they do connect, they work very well. A bit of a crap shot!

You may but at your own risk. I believe that may go against your local electrical code since you are mixing two different voltages in the same j box. Plus I think the power supply is DC. I think the best way is to have a power receptacle that is controlled by a wall switch.

I wouldn't know. I guess it would work as long as the universal remote supports the namebrand that is used for these outlets. Good luck

That is a really interesting question. I have not done it, but it makes sense that it would work. As long as there is a weak signal that would be picked up by the second unit, it should work. There has to be some signal in the area that you plug the unit into.

Yes, because it is a 3-way switch. I have my wired in such a circuit, and it works perfectly.

I just tried this for you, and yes - it will check resistance between neutral and ground, and alert if they're connected together.

'different circuit' is ambiguous. I have a large house with two phases coming in (allowing for 220V appliances). The units work without issue as long as they are both on the same 'phase' - even if controlled by different circuit breakers. But if the two units are on separate phases then I can't imagine they would work since there is no direct connection between the two phases (other than by 'neutral') - but I haven't yet specifically tried this. So far, the units have worked on every outlet I've tried.

Short answer is no. However find a 3 way switch on that circuit and you can get it to work.

As long as both outlets are on the same electrical system - it will work. It worked great for Mom and I, where she was on the main floor and I was on other end of the second floor.

it should. I haven't tested it but I don't see what would cause them to not work together.

check the number of pins on receptacle where switch is plugged in. if it has the same number of pins it will work.

Yes, if that is all you hook up, that is all it will switch. But be aware, it cannot do dual outputs, just switch between single outputs if that was even in your thoughts.

we use 4 of these all over the house, each on a different circuit breaker and they work fine. I am unsure of what you mean by "2 electrical boxes".

The previous response is correct. As long as both houses are on the same electrical circuit source you should have no problem.

This item works best when it is on the same circuit breaker (only one of the breakers in the box). It may or may not work across multiple breakers depending upon on whether the breaker is on the same side of the 220 and whether you have circuit fault protectors installed.When I tried connecting to a differnt circuit that was on the same side of the 220 line (two seperate beakers that use the same side of the 220 line and neutral to obtain 110V) it worked, but the signal degraded to a very low connection speed.Hope this helps.
