could this be used for a light switch that controls a gas fire place?

Yes, it should work just fine for that. I use one to control a water fountain pump, and another to control some outdoor lights.

This type question, for me, would go directly to the manufacturer only because I am a real coward when it comes to things electric. If it were not for burning the house down, I would try it. Shucks, I'd try it anyhow, but check with my insurance carrier first. I do not have the packaging handy; however, if there were a safety possibility, it should say. My recollection is that if you are replacing an existing electrical outlet with the Skylink and do not exceed the permitted power limitations, you are going to be o.k.. But please check with them.

NO! This unit needs 120VAC in order to operate and only switches 120VAC. Most fireplaces use 12 VDC to 24 VDC for switch controllers.

The On/Off version switch will turn 120 Volts AC on and off. What type of electrical interface does the gas fireplace have to turn it on and off?

I am not sure, I use this for my hazard lights on my UTV, it's not a momentary switch, it is either off or on... I do know that...so it would work for off/on type of situations...if you are looking for more options, look for a switch that has 3 positions, this would be for the type of function I described....on or off

I don't think so. It basically is just a direct wire to the buildings wiring. I suppose you could buy a switch and wire it to the light but, it would take a fair amount of customizing.

Yes. Should work. I'm using it to control kitchen cabinet led light. Works great.

Most likely the answer is no. Pressure switches are relatively inexpensive you might want to "jury rig" something up..

This switch would be perfect for that application. Note, however, that the switch isn't rated for outdoor use, so you would have to protect the control module from getting wet. We do have an outdoor version of the switch, the HC6100, that is available from our website. Please let me know if you have any other questions I can help with.

It should work well. It is controlling the switch for two locations for our compressor.

Sure, there is no reason you could not. It fits into the space of a single pole switch. I have installed several outdoor boxes for outdoor lighting, the timer switch would work fine - I didn't do it, but no chance of any problems.

Most likely it will work, but you're leaving half of the switch unused. Most Lowes, Home Depot and Menard's carry the switch that you need for less money.

Hi, yes it would, this one is a grounded three wire device and you may not even need that. Everyone sells the non grounded switch for a couple of dollars.

We used it for a closet light that we wanted to come on when the door is opened. It has a built in low voltage transformer so you can install low voltage cable to the door frame and install a magnetic relay/switch

This is a lp gas fire place. So I guess anything that works with gas should be fine. Just don't put wood logs or charcoal brickets on it.

Sure it would, but why use an on, off, on switch when a simple on, off switch would do.

I believe it will. I have used it for several different small "appliances" including a small heater (though not ceramic type) and it's worked well. We don't have power outages often-but when we have a storm brewing or similar situation that threatens power-I use the switch to shut it off in case-just to be safe.

I have no idea but it should as long as the switch is like the standard light switch. This only moves the switch lever up and down, it is not directly wired into any circuits.

Yes. I use this as a switch for my under the counter lights and some extra track lighting I have above my kitchen cabinets. It works great.

I would say yes as long as the current passing thru the switch is only a few watts, otherwise you'll need a relay.
