can this be placed in a gang wall switch box? I have a 7 switch gang box and need to place two side by side?

The unit is fairly wide and deep. There might not be enough space to acccomodate the units and all the wires for more than one unit. I have them installed in 2 gang boxes.

When we originally bought this item, it replaced a light switch. It fit in fine next to two other light switches. The same switch plate we used before covers all three.

We have them all over our house and used regular Decora faceplates with screws. We also combined them in some multi-gang boxes with other types of switches, no problem.

Not sure, if you are refering to two separate single gang boxes then no it won't. If it is a single, double gang box then yes it should work. If you could remove the boxes (if there are two) without damaging the sheetrock (assuming it's sheetrock) then you may be able to get a retrofit box to insert and this wall plate would work fine. Hope that helps

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.

We are able to use another plug along with the night lights',however, if it is side by side, I can't answer. Ours is upper and lower.

This product essentially replaces a 2-gang electrical box and a 2-gang cover plate, blank or otherwise. The outside dimensions are 4.5"x4.5", so it should work if I understand your intended application. Your description of "two blank plates" is a little confusing. If you mean that you have 2 separate blank plates side-by-side, you may have to do some drywall patching because the horizontal spacing of two separate cutouts will likely be larger than this unit is capable of covering completely. However if you mean one 2-gang blank plate, this will do the job without any additional work. It's also important to mention that you need an open cavity (between the studs) without obstructions behind the cutout into which this product can be inserted. If there is a 2-gang electrical box in the wall, it will have to be removed if you're to have free access for the cabling to be brought though as intended. As for mounting, I suggest a low voltage bracket. If you search for a 2-gang l.v. bracket on Amazon, you should find several options. I hope this helps you.

This timer switch is for a single box. I dont think. it will fit with other switches.

It really depends on the wall plate. I have a 6 port keystone wall plate (monoprice), and they do not fit side by side.

There is no gang box as it is intended to be installed in Sheetrock, note the ears on the corners which retain the box in the Sheetrock hole. If you intend to install Sheetrock later, I would suggest that you make a temporary mount out of scrape Sheetrock or plywood. Good luck.

Do you want to control your fan and light from more than one location or do you want to put this device in a 2 or 3 gang box? No you cant use this as a 3 way switch. Yes this wil fit in a box with another maestro - If we are talking a bout a two gang or larger box.

It is not quite big enough to cover a standard outlet box. I would put a solid plate over the outlet box and then install on either side, preferably on the stud the box is connected too.

They cannot be wired to each other. Each needs to be wired directly back to the switch.

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, I used a stacked switch that takes up one slot. They are common at Lowe's or Home Depot.

Yes, its about the same size as standard switch. I have 2 of these in a double gang box now and fits fine.

They can. I have multiple 2 box with 2x Insteon and at least one 3 box with Insteon/standard/Insteon all side by side.The wires come out the back so side to side clearance is not an issue. Just be sure you have full depth boxes. I live in a log home and my interior wall boxes were fine, but where I used the shallow boxes on the outside walls I can not install Insteon in them without tearing the boxes out and chiseling the logs deeper and installing full standard depth boxes.

If by "gang switch" plate you mean a "switch combo" with multiple interrupters sharing a single cover plate, mine shares a 3-hole plate. I chose to use a sectional cover plate rather than the standard single casing 3-hole cover plate. Also, while in my installation the timer shares the same cover plate with two light switches, the wiring for each switch is independent. Each switch in the combo has its own standalone electric wiring; they do not share the same breaker. One consideration to keep in mind is the space size that houses the "switch combo". The timer requires a bit more "room" (not too much more) than the average single light switch. When in doubt, consulting with a professional electrician would be my best advice.
