I assume there is only 1 model controller for these lights.. is this hard wired to a wall or could it operate remotely?(as I currently have)

Hard wire only. You have to manually turn on and off and change light patterns.

Lutron Companion switches are hard-wired, but Lutron Pico remote(s) can be wall-mounted at your new switch location(s) and operate this switch remotely. BTW, Pico dimmer-remotes are compatible with this switch, but you don't get dimming functionality (I mention this because Pico dimmer remotes tend to be cheaper than Pico on/off remotes -- go figure). When used with a motion sensor, you may find you don't need to add a switch (or Pico remote) at the second location. One final thought ... If you mean a fixture with no existing wall switch (e.g., a closet light with only its own pull-chain switch controlling it), then installation of this switch would be more involved as it needs to mount in a switch box.

I don't use a controller for these, so I'm not familiar with that operation. I find them easiest to use with sound mode or constant color. I use my controller for other lights that require more control.

In short, no. You must be connected to your home network (directly or through VPN)You can also attempt to control through port forwarding or use of a home server... but that's more work that you probably want to do.Even if you do find a way to control beyond the walls of your home, you have no guarantee that the bulb is responding correctly. Since the app is intermittent at best, you'd be controlling your light 'blind' and have no feedback to tell you whether the bulb received and responded to the remote command.

You can wire the remote to any circuit, and it will work as long as it is in range of the reciever. Wiring the control to a wall circuit simply eliminates the need for batteries. it truely is wireless, but keep in mind that you have to be within range.

I have one light controller in my setup, but I don't know if there is a limit.

If you have a 3 way switch .. two wall switches that will operate one light ... you must replace it with a three way switch. this kit is not two identical switches it's a master and remote setup.

My electrician setup 2 switches - I wish I knew how he did it. One wall switch will force the lamp on or off. The other allows it to stay in "security lamp" mode, so it only lights up when motion triggers the sensor.

I use one remote to control two separate strings under my kitchen cabinets. you can turn on one or both, proximity of the receivers will determine if all go on at the same time or you will have to aim at each controller so only one lights at a time.

the quick answer is yes you can. Since the wall switch is also a scene controller you can program it to run a scene that has nothing to do with either of the two load switches. Therefore you can program the wall switch with two independent scenes that are controlled by the push of the switchs and have the ability to remotely control the two independent loads. Another way to put it, this device will show up as a two button scene controller and two switch modules once you properly include them into your network.

Hi! No it is hard wired into wall & controls by wall mounted light switch. I love these lights! I put pair in dining room - adorable! : )

I hard wired mine to a regular on/off switch. Not sure how it would work with a wall dimmer since LEDs need their driver to be dimmable. There is a bit of lag time when turning them on. You still need to use their little ac to dc converter. Just snip off the plug and connect to your hard wires.

The unit does not include anything to control it remotely. It is a Z-wave device which means it's compatible with a number of Z-wave controller setups. I have a MiCasa Vera Lite that works really well with it, but you can use others too. That said, you can use the device without a controller simply using the keypad, but the real power and options come by pairing it with an appropriate Z-wave controller.

Each light ordered comes with a separate controller, but one controller can operate multiple lights separately. I ordered a number of these fixtures and have a drawer full of remotes.

it depends on the type of controller. I have a 12v switch with hard-wire connecters and buttons to control the type of lights I need on. So yeah you can connect 2 or more sets of lights

You need a controller box to drive the LEDs, but that power supply you linked should be able to power a controller box. I'm not exactly sure how long it would be able to power the lights, but it would work with a controller box
