please explain: "not a power source", and "Fits large designer wall plate openings"? thank you!

"not a power source" means it provides no electrical power (I don't know who would think that...), you have to wire it just like any switch or dimmer. "Fits large designer wall plate openings" just means it has the standard newer style rectangle opening, not the little tiny switches from the olden days. This doesn't matter if you use the included wall plate, but in cases where you have 2 switches side by side and you need a double wall plate, it will work like any other decora (rectangle style) switch.

The plug that goes to the wall is a normal I think three prong, but there is a plug within the mirror part, that .I have no clue what its for its big never seen it like that. It is truly a great item though I love love love it.

It doesn't need electrical power and definitely you don't need to plug it into wall outlet. Very easy to install.

Plate? Do you mean a wall plate? If you mean wall plate, you will want to remove the wall plate before inserting this surge protector. Not sure what you mean by plate, or, what your plate looks like but, this surge protector has to be pushed in all the way so you cannot leave your wall plate on. This surge protector is about 5 inches wide. If it is inserted, it might cover the switch on your plate or the switch on your plate might even prevent you from pushing this surge protector in all the way. The back of this surge protector has 1 sets of prongs. You would want to plug those prongs into the top outlet, the device would cover both top and bottom outlets and it would also cover more surface area to the left and right.

The switch on this one can't be worked into a normal wall outlet. It is configured to be supported by a battery. There are similar switches out there that can be installed in standard wall fixtures and can even pull power from the switch box. This is not one of them.

Its a decora style plate There are two separate pieces, the middle peice and the outside trim. Not sure what you are trying to do with it, it is made for low voltage purposes.

I think you want something different. If I understand the question, you are looking for an adaptor. I have that problem as well in my older house. I also have a lot of adaptors in my outlets.

It's the three prong, so you definitely need an outlet that can accommodate it (or an adapter). These are so convenient. I like them because I have several very large plugs that take up half the outlet and so I can't use all of the plug holes. By using one of these, none of the outlets are covered up anymore by the large ones.

There are various holes in the wall mount that may be large enough for the wall socket, but depending how thick it is it may foul the speaker itself. I would bite the bullet and recess the power outlet.....

Sorry I don't have one I can measure. But I can say that the mounting plate covers a normal receptacle outlet box. Hope this helps, David

The screw at the center of the plate is not necessary, it's just a way to secure the unit to the outlet it's plugged into. This may be helpful when you have all six outlets plugged in and you don't want to inadvertently pull the whole thing out by pulling one of the cords out.

Yes! The holder( sheet metal with screw holes, mounts on the wall with screws or tape. The electrical power is by a cord that you plug into an electric outlet. Was a simple install but follow the instructions to avoid having the plate upside down.

Yes; you have to have the kind of outlet with a center screw for mounting the plate.

I have opened this item up and there is nothing internal that suggests that it has a capability to be a "surge" protector. If you need a real "actual" surge protector unit; then purchase one that has that one specific design to it. Don't expect a power strip to have this function you are looking for. (Oh, by the way I am an Electrical Engineer with over 40 years experience)

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.

Hole pattern is too small (lengthwise). Assuming that you are talking about a wall-plate such as an outlet wall-plate.

It just plugs in on top of the wall plate so it does add some width from the wall but with all the plug ins and the angles, it can save some space. Hope this helps.
