Does this require a neutral power source?

No. I have two of these and just replaced the existing switch and enrolled it in my zWave system. You can got the Leviton.com and enter the model number then downloar a complete set of instructions. A neutral power source and a neutral wire are not the same thing however.

No you have to use the power adapter supplied. Unless you rigged up a 12 volt DC battery near it.

I installed the timer switch I bought for my daughter in her home. I know it does not require a neutral wire. I really believe the documentation that came with it showed it could be used in a 3-way arrangement but I left that with her so I can't refer to it as to how that would be done. In her situation it just replaced a single-pole switch.

Well, you need power. This switch will only help if you have a power line, but no means of turning it on and off.

No it does not. You would need to add a timed switch to control the power .

No. The unit must be plugged in to an outlet and powered on in order to function.

no ... it plugs into a receptacle ... you should have to use a switched receptacle

No it does not require a neutral. It can be used as a single switch or 3-way.

Despite the reply from Phoenix Down... ...many of these type of devices do work without a neutral (aka grounded wire). As explained in other replies to diff questions, the grounding wire, often bare or green (not to be confused with the grounded wire..aka neutral) is acceptable by UL (Underwriters Labs) and the NAC (National Electrical Code). To simplify my reply.... ....it seems it's perfectly acceptable not to have a neutral on this device but instead the ground wire (again, green or bare copper).

Yes, it does need a power source and comes with the cord. Probably would not work for you. It is a nice little unit though.

This device is not contain a battery. So you will need a fixed power source.

If I understand your question correctly the answer is yes. That's a pretty standard set-up and it was designed to handle that exact situation. Of course you have to have power running to that outlet for it to function. Grounding and polarity have to be right too.

Not sure why you would want/need to, but sure, you could use a PSU instead of the supplied power. I have yet to use anything but the supplied PS.

Although the user manual does not say that it needs a power source, it came with a USB cable. I was not sure why, later I noticed that the device has a mini USB port on the side. I had it connect to my Cable box that has a USB port. The device did not work properly (it kept flickering) without using USB cable. It works perfectly now.

As others have said, yes, this model needs neutral wires.However, if you find yourself in a situation where you don't have a neutral wire, please note that Insteon has released the 2474D, which is an RF only and does not require a neutral wire.

Sorry but, I just went ahead and connected the neutral since it was there, I don't know if it's required.

You'd have to contact Intermatic for a definite answer. It has a neutral wire but I don't know for sure if it would work properly without it connected. I think it should but that's only a guess.
