Will installing this within 1-2 inches of a wall power outlet cause any issues with the RFID sensor?

Nothing in the installation materials mentions avoiding power outlets. The sensor runs on batteries. Hope this helps. You could also call the company

Not very long. Only a couple of feet. It would have to be located close to a wall outlet.

It was a tight fit, but I was able to insert a 3 pronged plug into the second wall outlet. A 2 pronged plug should fit nicely.

I would not expect a problem since the sensor detects magnetic variances, I would ensure that there is at least 10 feet between the sensor and the cattle guard and ensure that the transmitter is positioned so the guard is not in between it and your receiver.

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.

The connectors on the inverter are on the small side anyway so as long as they are secure or shouldn't be a problem.

depends on the dimensions of the outlet. the space on the back plate is only about the size of your hand, so if the outlet is bigger than that I wouldn't risk it, or I'd find another place to mount.

It should not interfere with a security system. I would look into your security system for a temp alarm, unless you are using this in an out building.

I do not see a problem. I use it to scan into a handheld device. It should work with the RFID chip as well.

It actually fits very tightly in the outlet. It also take only one plug outlet and does not cover the second outlet on the wall plate. It saves us from using power strips which can sometime become unsightly.

It sticks out 9/16 of an inch, just a hair over half an inch from the outlet. Depending on how your outlet is installed, most outlets will add roughly 1/4 inch onto that, but I've seen some poorly installed ones that stick out further.

I have the sensor nailed to a tree about three feet off the ground. It is very sensitive. I think installed at an angle above the garage would work. The receiver in the house works very well and beeps three times everytime something passes the sensor, could be a car, animal, or garbage man. Do not put the receiver near metal like a microwave it seems to block the radio waves. Also when the transmitter is rained on sometimes you get false readings. I put a plastic shroud over the top made from a yogurt container. Overall I am very pleased with the product and for the price it is a very good value. I highly recommend this product.

I do not have a unit at this time at my home. Overall dimensions seems correct because a regular electrical receptacle fits inside as well as the attachment cord cap.I used it on a home to connect an enclose a low voltage power supply for a remote surveillance camera. It worked just fine. I attached the camera (external) to the cover also.

Not entirely sure but I'm guessing you can ask their support prior to purchase. FWIW, I have this installed roughly in the center of my 2000 sq. ft. home and it has no issues whatsoever. Additionally, the smart plug acts as a repeater for the hub so this may assist in your case if you place the hub in one corner and the repeater in another.

I think so. If it is flush mounted to a wall the sensor will not point straight down but should still pick up movement from underneath it. The lights will get close but cannot go straight down without hitting the motion sensor.

relatively 'short' - approx. 2 foot - probably for safety reasons ... needs to be used close to an outlet

It didn't block the top outlet for me with normal plugs, but the circular UPS plugs I had on the same outlet didn't fit very well. I used short cord extensions to bring the adapter away from the wall. My experience was that if you use the short (say 3-inch) extension cords, your bandwidth won't be affected and you can eliminate and spacing issues nicely.
