Answer:	It's a rocker switch
Question:	What battery does it use and how long does it last

User questions & answers

Question:	Does every hub have the range of about two feet or is it just mine
Answer:	Yes, the open/close sensor is compatible with other hub devices besides the Insteon Hub (INSTEON 2242-222 Hub). Whatever hub/controller device you choose still has to be compatible with the Insteon protocol, as the sensor only knows how to talk "Insteon", not Z-Wave or WiFi. Examples of other home automation hubs/controllers are the ISY994i and the Mi Casa Verde VeraLite. The Smarthings Hub is NOT compatible with this, as it only works with WiFi, Zigbee, and Z-Wave devices.
Question:	The inteon hub you can conect multiple switch
Answer:	No, this unit would require use of an Instoen Hub. It is not compatible with NVR systems.
Question:	Will anything connected to the insteon hub be compatible with amazon echo
Answer:	The INSTEON Hidden Door Sensor uses INSTEON over RF only and will not work with SmartThings which is Zigbey and Z-Wave only. The Revolv hub supports Zigbey, Z-Wave, INSTEON and a few other standards. My installation is currently INSTEON & some legacy X10 only. I have been very pleased with the performance of the INSTEON products. .
Question:	I just ordered an echo and i want to interface it with my x-10 modules and light switches. is this what i'm looking for
Answer:	It comes with a Lithium battery installed and is supposed to be good for 10 years. We just purchased within the last 6 months so don't have any long term results. I do know that most smoke alarms are employing the same battery with a 10 year life span.

Dual-Band Technology

Insteon is the only home control technology that uses both wireless and your home's powerlines to create a robust network that can easily handle common household interference from microwaves and WiFi or signal blockades like concrete, masonry or steel studs.

Mesh Network

With Insteon, every device can repeat messages across the network, eliminating the bottlenecks that occur when a single device fails in a routed network. And because Insteon is Dual-Band, the mesh network extends over both wireless and wired Insteon devices.

Peer-to-Peer

In an Insteon network, there are no routers or administrative devices. Each device can control (or be controlled) by each other device without any complicated hierarchy of device profiles.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this control fixtures with led lights? the manual states "for use with incandescent only" a few times
Answer:	It's my understanding that the newer chargers are somehow different than the old chargers so I suspect this won't work properly with a 20 year old feeder. Planned obsolescence? Likely. Maybe you can find an old charger on Ebay? Wish I could be more help...
Question:	Can the Amazon Echo interface with the inline adapter
Answer:	Ours is located on the outside lower ring of the bird feeder. There is no switch on the power stick itself.
Question:	Can I replace a ceiling fan with a spot light bar with four lights (80W ea) with this? Only need on/off down the stairs - 25 ft line of sight
Answer:	No, the perch is not included with the Powerstick. To purchase the perch ring separately, please call us at 1-800-352-9164 to place an order.
Question:	Does this product include the actual remote ? Or do you need an additional item ? if so which one
Answer:	Usually for a month or two. Depends on how many squirrels it slings off, I guess. We do not have to charge it often at all.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there any reason not to use lithium batteries with this device
Answer:	They are not intended to fit over glasses but may work with some small and low profile frames. For the majority of prescription glasses, you would probably need something larger such as our VFR (Over The Glasses) model.
Question:	Where are the sensors on this alarm? Can anyone show a photo of the sensor location? Thanks
Answer:	Measure your prescription glasses. Side to side. Top to bottom. Add about 2/16 of clearance to determine which safety glasses will work.. there is an instruction photo to look at if you need additional information
Question:	How long battery last
Answer:	I believe a respirator means having to do with your airway, this is just eye wear safety. Has nothing to do with your respiration.
Question:	Does it sensor water from the bottom
Answer:	Well sir, if you are making a satirical comment on the current discourse in our society, then bravo. If you are serious, then first you will have to assess whether getting eye irritation from drifting gas is really your greatest concern if you participate in any event likely to end with gas and rubber bullets. Industrial goggles are meant to be worn in workplaces where eye damage from splashing liquids are possible. They are vented to allow for comfort and will therefore allow for the intrusion of gasses. Workplaces that are subject to gas hazard require sealed suits with powered, high filtration ventilation. So the answer is either ha ha if you are joking, or "no way in Hell" if you were truly serious.
