Will the Intermatic KM2ST-1G 1 timer work with CFL bulbs?

I really don't know for sure, but I don't think so, as I am not aware of any cfl bulb that is disable. I do know even led requie a special dimmer

I have used the 2457D2 with incandescent and LED bulbs certified to be dimmable. I do not used CFL and have not tested them nor have I used the 2457D2 with the Insteon bulb.

No, you cannot use CFL bulbs. However, it works very well with regular light bulbs.

It doesn't work on my CFL. I either need to find a CFl that fits these or return them.

These are standard spiral cfls. They are immediate on/off lights. I would have to say that they should probably work fine with a timer as I can't think of any reason that they would not. No, I haven't actually used them this way, but with my understanding of electricity and how it would work, I can't see any issues with it. The timer should do no more than open up the flow of electricity to the bulb when the timer turns on and then restricts the flow of electricity when the timer goes off, so there should be no issues with them whatsoever. I hope this helps.

Yes I did run CFL bulbs with it. About 12 all at once and there was no "flicker". I had run them with a modified sinewave inverter and it was really bad. This will work for you.

yes works great with cfl, i have had a couple connected now for almost 2 years and havent lost the first bulb or eye,, i get the 42 watt cfl equal to a 200watt regular bulb,, gives off great light

I installed similar sensors for my back door lights that use cfl bulbs that work. So I would assume it should work with this sensor.

yes it should work well especially is the bulbs are standard bulbs. The only small issue I have found Is when using on a CFL bulb when you turn the switch completely off the light will still occasionally flicker at a very low light. It is not a huge issue. When using standard bulbs this is not a problem.

It will work with Halogen, I don't know about CFL as I refuse to use them for a number of reasons, one their blue color and the other is their toxicity. Just remember that with this unit you need to have at least 40 watts for a load. If you are going to use them with LED lighting which typically will be less than 40 watts, then you need to get the other Honeywell model RPLS740B (in the color you want, as this one is white). I hope this answers your question.

I have this working with CFLs in multiple locations. They work great. Also works flawlessly with LEDs.

This one should work with LED bulbs. I installed with CFL bulbs and standard bulbs and it worked fine.

I had it working with cfl (3x15w + 2x20w). I can't say if that was the cause of the malfunction it had, but mine worked properly for about 2 weeks (on/off daily), and then the chip seemed to go bezerk, as it started to randomly turn on and off (within seconds). From what I have read, cfl's tend to store some energy and release it through their own little transformer (hence hours after you turn a cfl light off, it might give out a small flash). Instead of this one, I recommend the intermatic automatic switch (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005H3AXKM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), have had it now for a few months, and works well. Has the same functions (except the astronomical clock adjustment), plus the timer system is not connected to the electric grid, thus any outages will not fry the timer circuit. It must have a small switch within, as when it turns off/on you can hear a slight mechanical 'click'. Hope it helps.

It's working great for me with 3 9.5-watt Cree dimmable LEDs. It definitely won't work with CFL's unless they are specifically dimmable CFL's, and probably not even then.

Yes, the CFL bulbs won't make any difference however mine didn't work at all so I'd be a bit hesitant to make the purchase if I were you. Had nothing to do with the type of bulbs it just wouldn't work.

Yes. I only use the CFL bulbs in my house and I have 3 of these timer switches. With no issues.

Yes. The unit is just a switch. I use CFLs in outdoor lights controlled by this motion sensor and it works well.
