Can I use this switch for a 3-way? If I can , do I need two?

No. The switch for a 3-way is different. The wiring, fan or not, is also. I do not know if a 3-way version of the in box fan control exists. You could just use a regular 3-way switch set-up treating the fan as though it were just a light bulb. You can then use the battery powered remote that comes with the fan to control the fan and it's light. You could also acquire a second battery remote so a remote could be next to both switches. I suggest you contact an electrician if you need more information.

This switch doesn't directly control power to the fan/light -- it's simply a remote control that is powered by wire rather than battery. If you want to be able to control the fan from two doorway areas, you could certainly buy two controllers and just set both of the signal switches to the same code. I'm not sure I've answered your question but hope it helps.

The communication to the fan is wireless (effectively the same as using a remote), so I'd think you could add as many controls as you want.

No I don't believe so. The unit only has three wires, a neutral that allows the LED lights to work, Black is your line power in and your Red wire is your load out to your fan or light... I installed mine over a month ago And I already threw away the paperwork. If it has a fourth wire other than the ground then perhaps it can be used as a three-way switch.

I am not sure, but if you couldnt just plug both ports, it probably means it isnt possible, since there is a single "on" switch...

Yes, it will work just fine. Multi vs. single speed does not matter. If you have a fan/light combo that runs from one switch then one of these will work. If you have separate toggles for the fan and light then you'll need two. Hope this helps.

Yes. You should be able to add 1 more. But mine can only work with 2, because the middle port was bad.And it automatic detect which port is active and switch automatically.

Yes, I have the same situation. You can leave the switch on the light on and control it from inside, or you leave the inside switch on and control it at the light. It WON'T work like a 3-way.

You can use this switch in an installation with only 2 wires. I have used a few of these devices over many years. While they are very handy, to me they seem to be fragile and sometimes die during/after a storm. I like them because they work in a normal wall box.Allen

Yes, but mine is not 3 way then. I get light on the second twist of the switch.

No there is not a three way switch, just a standard on and off to my knowledge.

It will not work with a standard 3 way switch. You need to replace each 3-way with one of these. I used one of these and a 2334 Keypad dimmer switch. Either one can control the load, and the two devices are linked together. Be sure you have a neutral wire at each switch location. If it does not exist you should be able to use the existing 3 conductor cable to provide this.

A four way lighting situation usually consists of 2 3-way switches and one 4-way switch. This should work if you use it to replace one of the 3-way switches, but will probably not work to replace the 4-way switch.JohnJohn

Yes definitely have 3 way switches, didn't know that until I received them but I love it,,,,

If you want to create a 3 way for the garage it should work but not on an existing 3 way.e.g. if you wanted a switch in the house to operate a single pole switch in the garage that would work as that is the purpose of this switch. Fluorescent fixtures I am not sure about. Mine (older model) works the kitchen ceiling fixture which has 4 compact fluorescent bulb plus a ceiling fan.

Don't know how to work with 2 wires. This switch took three wires: blue for load, black for hot line, and white for neutral line. You need to have three wires to make it work.

No, this is a single pole switch. A 3-way switch has a different configuration

I would guess not. Three way switches use a third connector for a traveler wire. I don't believe this unit has that feature.

Sorry, Eric, but I don't know the answer to your question. I wired my unit to a 2-way switch.
