Can this be used with a garage door? And what do i need to make it control the lights? (I am new to using these things and want to set this up)

It sends a radio command to a switch that need to be compatible with Insteon. I recommend you to google Insteon prior to start with it.

I used a timer with my lights. It doesnt come with it. You will have to get one from your local hardware, home depot or lowes.

No you cannot. We bought parts at Radio Shack and made our own switch allowing us to control on/off for each light.

It depends on what you want to do with it. If you're going to program it to automatically come on, etc., You'll need a controller like an isy99. If you want it to controll a light plugged into this receptacle from a switch then you need an insteon switch or remote.

the remote was missing when I bought my house and this worked great...it will work with it's own receiver which is included...just plug it in and hook up a couple of wires...I put in an entirely new garage opener and have one of these that I would sell...plantstation1@yahoo.com

I don't think so. It will not work with fluorescent lights either. I originally ordered this to control a four light fluorescent fixture. Instructions stated it would not work with fluorescent lights. I ended up using it to control another incandescent light.

Yes, but I found that it works better with LEDs. This is just the control panel, but the opener that it pairs with holds two bulbs and one of them would keep turning off when I used CFL's. When I changed them to LED's the problem stopped. The problem might have just been a loose connection, don't know, but it works great with LED's.

If you can chain them together. The light controller will control as many lights as you have, but you have to chain them from one light to the other. You can only put one input into the controller.

This is a 2-channel opener. From the literature I have, it looks like the 2nd button could be used as an opener for a second garage door, which I don't need. From the factory each channel comes programmed with a different random code. Each channel must be changed to match the transmitter being used if you need both channels. I changed only one, so only one button works for me. The 2nd button is not for controlling the light.

You would have to wire in two switches to each pair of lights to do so. The control box has just one button that you have to hold down to make work. I swapped the button to wire in a switch to have an on all the time or off

There are no directions for what you are asking. If you had one switch control one light and the other switch control another light you would be ok if you understand basic wiring. However, you would not be able to have both switches control the same light unless you wired them as three way switches and always kept one of the doors closed. That would likely defeat the purpose of having each door switched.

Yes, the light button will work. I use it all the time without opening the garage door. I am very, very happy with my purchase. Two of my neighbors bought one after I showed them mine. It was extremely easy to install.

No Will not work. if you have my Q Garage Door opener. it have light there that will automatically turn on when your Garage open and will stay on for 1 to 5 min

I use mine to control my light bar, front, and back emergency lights. Mine are all LED lights, so if you have a high amp draw I would suggest using a relay.

You would need an adapter and may need a converter. Just so you know I sent this back because it is not manufactured well at all. The plug going into the light box it self would not stay plugged in. That being said, it may have just been a faulty board. When the plug did stay in the light box it works really well and you can control the amount of light. Other light boxes do not have that option.

I would check with the contractor who installed the garage door. They can probably best answer your question. Is there a small "box" in the garage on the wall that works with the opener? Perhaps there are matching switches in the box that you can coordinate with the opener. As Kyle indicated check the dip switches. Match them with what the installed box has and it should work.

Hi Gary, I returned this switch since I could not get it to operate with my same branded garage door opener. I then bought a better model that came with a keychain remote and it does not work with my openers either. I just settled on having a keychain remote doing my lights. I hope this helps. On a side note. Ever peel an orange and get that gunk under your nails? I put a product on amazon that solves this among other things. search the word "fewlah" if you like to see it. Thanks Rob
