All of our wireless products use the 315 MHZ frequency. Most of our products have a security code on this frequency that can be used to keep adjacent systems from interfering with each other. These products are not compatible with the `Z-Wave’ products.
Let me know if you need further assistance.

While the units electronics can work down to -22 degrees F. Most batteries go dormant below freezing. You would need to use LITHIUM type batteries to work in very cold environments.

Question
Does the switch control the light or the sensor?
Does the sensor work in the ON or OFF position on the switch? If you turn the switch to ON, does the light stay on constantly or does it need a signal from the sensor to keep the light on? Is there a way to keep the light on constantly needed? Is there a way to keep it off permanently if needed?

The toggle switches on the switch unit itself will override whatever state that the motion sensor may be in. If the motion sensor is not sensing motion, you can press the top part of the larger toggle switch to turn it on the power to the light. If the motion sensor has turned on the lights, but hasn’t sent the signal to turn them off at its selected time period, you can turn OFF the lights by pressing the bottom section of the toggle switch. If you want the lights to stay off and not be triggered by the motion sensor, or the toggle switches, you can slide the small slide switch below the toggle switches on the switch unit to the left to turn the power off to the switch. The toggle overrides the signal from the motion sensor (in the ON function, but not the OFF function), so if you turn it ON with the toggle switch it will stay on until you turn it off. If you want to go back to receiving the signal from the motion sensor, then you would press the bottom part of the large toggle to turn the lights OFF, and then it can receive the signal from the motion sensor.

Question
One switch two lights?
I have one switch at the top of the stairs (but no switch at the bottom of the stairs to turn them off or on when I enter or leave) controlling two light fixtures with energy saving bulbs. I need the lights to go on when I enter so I can see my way. Would this unit solve my problem. PS all white wires in switch are capped together. One hot black at top and two black at bottom of switch.

Thank you for your help

This would be a good solution, but you cannot use 'Energy Saver’ or CFL type bulbs.

No it does not work with florescent lights.
On page 10 of the English instructions is where it tells you. No where on the box does it tell you.

Question
OK, answering my own question about Halogen Lights
This unit's driver (electrical swicth) is a "TRIAC" which does not require a neutral wire, therefore it uses the attached load (Light) to complete the circuit to power the switch. In this type of circuit, a resistive type light must be used as the element inside the light completes the circuit. Incandescent and Halogens are resistive since they both have a wire filament inside. Flourescents have a ballast which does not complete the circuit nor do LED lights. To control Flourscent and LED lights, you will need a control switch which has a "RELAY" driver that has a set of mechanical contacts similar to a regular wall switch. This type of controller will need a neutral wire connection to power the switch.
I have installed this unit on my front house lights and it works great. Going to purchase another for the rear lights.

Question
3 Way Switch
I have two lights (begin of the backyard and end of the backyard) controlled by two switches (one in the house and one across the yard in the garage), it is a 3 way connection (lights can be turn on/off from either switch).

Can I connect this kit that only has one (1) Motion Activated Light Switch to either switch (garage or house)? I don't park in the garage and I want the lights on once I walk in my backyard.

Thanks.
