If my existing set up features two switches operating one light, can I buy just one z-wave switch and replace one of the two or must I order this kit?

You must use the Z-wave slave switch for your three way. It wires up a little differently than your standard three way, it wires up as a two way switch. You will need to identify your travelers and use one for the load and the other for the slave switch. The slave also requires a neutral. You can also purchase the slaves separately to create a four way etc. or convert any other ge z-wave to a three way.

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.

I was simply replacing one that was already in but not functioning. Attached similar with similar wiring. If you are converting a standard fixture with this device, it would be negligent of me to advise you, since I am not an electrician AND I don't know what you're converting. It's a great device when installed safely and VERY functional as you get older and grasping knobs and light switches becomes more difficult. Talk to some one at your local electrical store or a friend who knows/is an electrician. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Without modification yes.You should be able to sure them to the same switch pretty easy though

I have one connected to a standard switch and another one is hooked up to a switch with 3 switches; one for each part the fan, the light and the night light. But the second switch needed upgraded wiring.

I haven't bought these yet but everything says they both operate with one switch. All "ON" or all "OFF". I plan on taking one of these apart to see if they can be hacked to work with separate switches for flood and spot.

the unit on the left in the picture will replace the existing light switch. the unit on the right is just a (thin) matching plastic box housing the second switch. this box should be mounted within the wireless range capability. both of these units work together to replace one light switch. either switch can be used to turn the circuit off or on. the only thing it will not work with is a florescent light.

Yes, Kathie, it would be possible to use one, provided both lights are on the same lamp post and I would suggest having a professional wire it in. Mine works like a charm and is the best security light I have found.

Nothing needed for second switch. Just remember to leave the second switch in the on position.

I'm not an electrian but we have multiple lights running in one line and we use one switch. I don't know if this is what you meaned. For safety purposes it's best that you get the advice of an electrician.

You don't want this if you're only going to install one switch. You're better off installing the switch by itself. Get a nice Carling rocker switch and cut a single hole for it. More often than not you'll want another switch for something and that's where this kit comes in handy.

You'd need separate relays for each circuit, but should be able to have a single Z-wave module control both, if you were OK with only being able to have them go on and off at the same time. If you wanted separate control - two relays and two z-waves

Ours is wired to use two switches. Not an electrician, but I would imagine you could wire them both to one switch if desired.

yes, this is the exact situation I had. One switch to an inside light and the second switch to outside light(s). Remove the switch that controls the light(s) you want to replace with the RPLS540A. Th only thing to keep in mind is if the exiting switch plate is a standard plate for the 2 regular "toggle" type switches you will need a new one with one side for the "toggle" type switch and the other side for the RPLS540A "mod" style (rectangular shape).

You will need to purchase multiple switch/socket sets and pair up sockets that are on the same circuit in order to control several lights with one switch. I did so and can control 2 sets of lights (2 lights each) in 2 adjoining rooms with one switch in each room.

There are specific switches for different fixtures. I ended up contacting leviton customer care to find the right one

Installs in place of a standard light switch, not 3 way where two switches control the same set of lights. It is wireless to turn on and off and dim if you have a Z-Wave controller. It replaces your existing switch and must be wired in to work.

Yes. This is how I have mine setup. The power goes to the z-wave switch and then to the outlet where the lamp is plugged in. Just be sure that there is a white wire (neutral) in the box where you will place the new switch.
