Can you plug it into a switched outlet that uses a rheostat switch?

First, the rheostat switch must be rated for an "inductive load" of 44W (many ordinary lighting dimmers are not be capable of this). Secondly, the on-board timer will not function correctly when dimmed, so you'd only use this configuration if not utilizing the timer. If you meet both of the above conditions, then no problem.

You could plug it in to a switched outlet or a switched multi-plug. It still would only come on when the thermostat said it is needed. The pug itself is the transformer.

Yes, that's what I use mine for. I put mine in a double-outlet box, with a regular switch for my light and the timed switch for my fan.

Yes, you can link the OutletLinc directly to the Insteon Motion Sensor with no problem. The Insteon Hub is required for additional functionality and setting the sensors for timed (macro) events.

You can hook it up to any circuit within range. For that matter you could wire in a pigtail and plug it into the wall. but in oder for the manual switch to work it has to be on the fan/light circuit. i never use the manual switch so it's not necessary

Usually disposers are literally plugged in to a switched outlet. Yes, it may be directly wired to a switch, but the safest way is to use a counter-top "air switch" operating from the dedicated outlet box. It also can be wired to a wall switch. Bottom line: Anyway you wish, but you have to buy the cord and/or plug.

Yes....I have the EU2000is and that is what I used it for. Takes the 3 prong 30 amp outlet and converts it to the 4 prong for a transfer switch. Hope this helps!

Yes as long as you put only 110-120 volts & no more than 15 amps. The output is only 15 amps from the switch.

Yes you can. It can be used to switch anything electrical. just do not exceed the specs of the relay "Relay contact capacity: Cool 10A/250VAC;Heat 10A/250VAC".

Yes, I plug mine in with the old thermostat wired in that had quit working.

I believe you can. Should not be an issue. It only passes a signal. It does no switching.

you would probably have to get a plug that lets you do so...try going to a hardware store or a electrician, try calling one. I don't know if they have the plug in switch. soryy..but this is a cool gadget.

No. The switch is rated for the low voltage (24v) and current associated with a room thermostat. Although this device could be used to control an intermediate device which in turn could turn a light on or off.

No. It must be wired into an existing outlet box (it has only connections, no wire and definitely no plug nor switch).

Get the CFL bulb that is dimmable. Then you can use it. The normal ones don't work with a rheostat. Your builder is correct about the non-dimmable CFLs.

You do not have to use the one in the ad. Any rheostat wired into the circuit will work.

It looks like you could. I haven't ever done so. Mine is plugged into a power surge unit though.
