Is a wall plate/ cover needed? How does with install next to other switches (i.e. box with 3 or 4 standard switches)

No, no wall plate is needed. The glass touch button is as big as a single wall plate / cover. It has to be installed as a single switch and you cannot install next to other switches.

Hi, The panel Works Only with The micro Switch. You connect This touch panel to micro Switch and it's ready to turn On The light

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.

Since it is a recessed receptacle the recommended Box is 3.5" deep, but it is a single gang. The distance between the holes on the plate of single receptacle is the same as a standard single SWITCH cover I am guessing around 2 5/16th".http://www.hubbell-raco.com/images/catalog/pdfs/A75-90.pdf Raco PDF file check page 5.

The wall plate is not part of the switch. This switch will fit in any Decora-style wall plate. Just make sure you have enough depth as it does take a bit of room in the electrical box.

I did not use a wall plate . Just used the thermostat . next to the light switch box ..

The fact that you have a 4 switch plate tells me little. I assume you mean that there are 4 switches at this SAME location. If this is correct, it will surely fit, a switch-plate change may be required if the switches are different types. The $64 question is "How many switches (at different locations) control this light?" If more than 1 (3 or 4 way) than you need Maestro switches at each location for the same fixture being controlled by this switch-set. If only 1 then this will work just dandy.

This is exactly what is says it is just a wall plate with the connectors. You will have to run the wires and mount the box within the wall prior to installing this plate. (To answer your question: cut hole in wall where you want the box. Mount box. Run wire...)

I installed mine in a standard double switch box without any problem. I had to get a new plate cover simply because I went from 2-toggle to 1-toggle/1-decora. I agree the boxes are not very deep when you factor in all the wires and the depth of the new switch. It felt like I had to jam a lot of stuff into a small space but it worked out fine in the end. I hope that answers your question.

A wall plate is not provided. Neither is a wall switch. If a switch is not already purchased, I recommend the Panasonic one which has indicator lights showing which function is "on." A cheaper switch I bought does not have this feature. Result: The heater and/or vent fan has inadvertently been left on because of the quietness of the fans. I corrected the problem by labeling and pasting indications on the switch cover.

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.

I installed this in a double electrical box that had one switch for a light and one for a fan. I installed it using the fan switch wiring only and kept the light switch the same using the original double switch plate to cover both. Long way of saying Yes.

Hi. Yes, you need an ordinary and suitable electrical box inside the wall, you can buy it at HomeDepot or Lowes. This is only the faceplate, also you need the keystone inserts.

I am unsure what socket plate you are talking about. There is a covered box for all wiring. If that doesn't help ask again. It was easy to use. Picked my location, nailed it in (nails included), inserted wire(no wire nuts needed), then ran it to my switch. No plate/switch included.

It comes with a wall plate. However, standard decor plates fit. This is important if you have a gang of 2, 3 or 4 switches in the same electrical box.

The remote has a surface mount base slightly larger than the cover plate and sticks out about an inch above the mounting surface. The base has a place for a 9 volt battery to be installed to power the remote so the thickness of the base is to allow for the battery. I don't see any easy way to mount using a 3-gang switch box. I think the base would be too wide to allow a cover plate for the other two switches and the remote would be on the surface of the wall and not mounted into the 3-gang switch box. Since it is surface mounted, you could mount it next to the 3-gang box but not in it.

I would suggest possibly installing two separate strings on different switches. In the situation you're suggesting, I think you would have to have a wire showing near the window if you had a window between two sets of cabinets unless you are crafty enough to run them behind the already installed drywall just below the window. Would be pretty tough with insulation in the way.

I used a regular switch. I'm not sure why they "require" their own switch product.

Yes, I have three of them in a single box behind a 3-switch plate. It is a little tight getting everything in there but it does fit.
