whats happens if multiple use of these circuits in my house? are there any conflict between this similar modules ?

Use a custom preamble for each individual receiver to ignore or act upon. Unless there are simultaneous transmissions in which case different bands are ideal.

Yes, at the very least you'll need to process the signals to separate them out. Since the channel is common, you'll also have the problem with one transmitter swamping others if you don't control that as well. You might look for systems based on the PT2262 and PT2272 coder/decoder chip sets....the 'standard' for garage remotes and similar uses. Good luck with your project

Yes I have noticed that there are. If you use the 315mhz and then use a different band on the other one it seems to work. Like 450mhz or w/e the next up

I have had no problem with the two that I had running together but I only tried them for a few weeks for my senior design project.

It will. I have two in one level and one in another level of my house. None of them are running on the same circuit. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can connect two of them, it should not matter but I would not run both at the same time.

I have the exact same setup and it works fine. In fact I have the main breaker in the house connected to a sub panel right next to it which feeds out to another panel in the garage. So it works going through all three for me.

They both need to be plugged in on the same circuit. If you have them both plugged in then throw the circuit breaker for that circuit they should both turn off. Just be careful of what else may be on that circuit. Hope that helps.

You would have problems with the connection from one unit to the other. I think it could be hacked, but it would take some imagination and know-how.

No Problem. The system monitors both incoming mains. 120V devices run off one of these, plus the neutral. Their consumption is monitored by the clamp on that main. 240V devices involve both mains, and get monitored by both clamps.

it will work if both devices are on the same circuit breakers. most houses have different circuit breaks for floors, thus it will not work. Hope it helps

Definitely yes. I have 2 of the 5004, 1 in the bedroom and 1 in the living room. Both are connected to the same 5101. When you add the second one you will need to re-sync as stated. I have had this setup running for about a year with no problems.

'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.

I think they have to be on the same circuit. Best way to make sure is buy one at a local store and try it out. If it works return it and buy online if you can find a better deal.

It shouldn't be a problem. I did one connection from main 10A to the add 3A and haven't had any problem, the 3A is going to resist only 3A if the load goes over 3A the fuse will burn out before damage de device. If you go from 20A main to 10A add your device connected to the 10A add shouldn't consume more then 10A.

I bought the home unit and two others and have no problems. Depending on your house wiring, etc, quality of your signal into your home. Using Comcast as example, 5 at most, depending if anything else in on your network.

No, that is fixed. So in one standard wall outlet with two outlets you can only use one of the devices.

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.

Hi Tom, That's actually my current setup. I used to have 1 dimmer and 2-regular non-dimmer switches and I replaced one of the non-dimmer switches with Honeywell timer switch. As long as each switches are independent to each other, it should not be an issue. Btw, I'm not a professional electrician so this response is just based on my current home setup.- Joel

Juan, I haven't had any problems with mine except on occasion it has indicated two circuit breakers as noted in the comment from E. Allen. This hasn't been a problem for me as I am not doing commercial work any more but friends/family/ volunteer type work. I would most likely buy this tester again. It beats the one I used when I was in business but that one was old technology. I think you will be satisfied with it.
