does this switch need to be wired by that I mean hard wired into the wall ?

Yep. It's a bit confusing how they phrase it in the description, so I understand why you would ask this. The accessory switch requires power, i.e. 110v line, neutral, and ground. It communicates with the main switch, or your zwave controller, from there. It's hard wired in the sense that it needs 110v power, but does not directly get wired to the light or other output.

No. Hard wired means direct wired -- not a plug in. You can access the wires though near an outlet to use but probably need an electrician to do it.

It is meant to be hard wired in to a ceiling fixture (e.g. with a junction box). It is not meant to plug into an electrical outlet.

It could be hard wired if you have a proper transformer and female plug, yes

It does not have a built in switch. It needs to be hardwired to a wall switch.

Hello, thank you for the question and inters. Yes it must be wired in, if you have the know how you can wire a plug to it also.

No, you'll need to provide wiring (cord or hard wire; and connector for entry) and on/off means (switch or cord cap)

It comes ready to hard wire. I put a plug instead, purchased seperately. There is no line switch in this package.

no, it is installed into the wall, hooked up to the electricity that way and the wires run as they do in the walls to a wall switch. Electrician may be able to do this for you. You can ask.

It needs to be wired in. I just replaced it for a old one already there so it was just changing a couple of wires.

It is set up to be hard wired but we spliced a toggle switch and plug to it and made it a plug in.

Yes it has to be wired. It should be in the sales literature or specifications.

No, it is hard wired and installed on an octagon or round normal electrical box. It is a really nice little light and mine is mounted in my soffit and shines on my address number above my garage. Mine is wired to switch on with my other outside up/down lights on both sides of my garage door. It's great!!!

This transfer switch should be hard wired. It is normally wired to a whole house generator and is designed to manage the loads as demand allows.

I don't think so. I think it would need to be hard wired. We did not end up using it as it was too large for the table we were putting it over, so we never plugged it in/wired it

I wired mine using the existing 40-yr-old, 3-switch wall unit. I think any device that causes the electricity to be fed to the correct wires, when you want it fed there, will do.

Mine was hard wired however, I don't know if an electrician could/would configure a plug-in wire to that unit.
