Is this wireless, or does it require installation into a standard light switch box?

Ours is installed into a standard switch box, and we can control via our phones or the switch.

This Device is designed to replace a standard wall switch, but it gives you the option to dim lights (Incandescent). It will require to be installed in the wall like a normal wall switch. There is three wires on the back, (Black, Blue and Red) The black and Blue are for the line and load, the red one is for a three-way circuit. Neutral is not required since it gets its power from the load it is controlling. Now the device communicates with controllers via Z-Wave wireless technology. Hope this answers your question, if not post another question and I will try to answer it.

Well yes its wireless as to you can control with your phone computer and or whatever wireless platform you wish to use but yes it has to be hard wire into you electrical system. Meaning that you have to th are out existing light switch and hard wire and install this light switch. Then program and then you can enjoy the wireless option.

Installs in place of a standard light switch, not 3 way where two switches control the same set of lights. It is wireless to turn on and off and dim if you have a Z-Wave controller. It replaces your existing switch and must be wired in to work.

very easy !! if you can plug in a light, you can install this unit..........

The only hard wiring required is for power ( which is delivered through a POE on the Cat5 cable). The unit needs to be configured as a repeater first, though. It can be confiured through the wireless, but save yourself time (and hassle) by connecting directly to the unit and configuring it before installation.

My son is a licensed electrician and he states it is designed to wire into an electrical box in the ceiling. It does not have a long enough wire to plug into the wall. It would require rewiring the entire light, but - of course - it would void the manufacturers warranty.

The wire from the interior of your house can be spliced to your light fixture in the built in box in this unit. No need to have an electrical box mounted on your house.

Yes it needs to be wired in or plugged in...but it works great when installed...

It needs to be wired in. I just replaced it for a old one already there so it was just changing a couple of wires.

It is electrically installed. If you are replacing an existing light it is probably just a matter of untwisting 3 colored wires and twisting the new ones back and mounting. Flip the circuit breaker 1st to protect yourself.

No. It's ceiling mounted like a ceiling fan. No plug must be wired to a light switch.

My light had the old pull cord on the side but the Wireless switch worked wonders. I've seen other reviewers indicate that they've used it even when a light switch was included. Frankly, I think if you leave the wall switch on, you should be able to then splice in the wireless switch between it and the light itself.

This lighting is on a track with wiring in the center. The unit is directly wired into an electric box via this central wiring. It is then on a switch. My unit is not a plug in unit.

It is a wired switch. The only way you'll be able control a light that is only wired to one switch is to run a new set of wires to the new location or replace the existing switch with one that has a remote control.

the unit on the left in the picture will replace the existing light switch. the unit on the right is just a (thin) matching plastic box housing the second switch. this box should be mounted within the wireless range capability. both of these units work together to replace one light switch. either switch can be used to turn the circuit off or on. the only thing it will not work with is a florescent light.

Not at all. It was an easy install. I had the wire go from the battery to the switch. The switch had a ground, then went from the switch directly to the light. Then I had to ground the light. It was super easy. I put an inline fuse between the switch and the light but I don't see the need for it. All you need is some wire and wire connectors and you're set

Wires are included, I have it wired to a switch, but it can be wired to reverse light relay. It works well.

Both must be wired. The instructions are included and is fairly easy and straight forward to install provided you have a second switch already in place within the room. Otherwise you will need to run some wire.
