Could I potentially lead a standard plug from this unit to a wall socket to power it? (Cannot wire to a switch)

Yes, that's exactly what I did.'i bought a 15' extension cord and cut the female end off and wires itInto the fan. Works great.

There are three leads leading from it. You connect these to live, neutral and ground. It would be wise to have a switch of some sort but one could wire directly to a power source.

Yes. I wired mine to the existing switch. If you don't have one, just add one inline to your power panel.

No. It must be wired into an existing outlet box (it has only connections, no wire and definitely no plug nor switch).

I don't know why you would want to ,it's a replaceable unit instead of hard wire install plug in ,done deal

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.

Yes there should be a cord to plug into a standard outlet. Or you can power it via Ethernet cable.

You would have to wire this into your outlet. There are no plugs as part of this unit.

It is intended to be hard wired, providing only short wire connections from the circuit board to wire nut on to. However, I suppose you could connect an extension cord to it and plug it in. However, the plug would need to be accessible per NEC, you cannot use an outlet/plug connection behind a wall or other inaccessible location.

We have not installed this unit yet, but I checked it and there is no way it can be plugged into a wall outlet that I can see. You can get battery-operated detectors, which we have in addition to the hard-wired units, and I suggest you get a couple of those.

I'm not an electrician but I think it would be difficult to turn this into a plug in unit.

Anything that takes voltage can be connected to a wall switch.. and yes, i connected mine to a wall switch. just leave nob in on position and use wall switch to turn off/on... only negative is you wont be able to change settings (low/high) on wall switch. That didnt matter to me.. even less so when "low" stopped working on me :(

You may but at your own risk. I believe that may go against your local electrical code since you are mixing two different voltages in the same j box. Plus I think the power supply is DC. I think the best way is to have a power receptacle that is controlled by a wall switch.

You can hook it up to any circuit within range. For that matter you could wire in a pigtail and plug it into the wall. but in oder for the manual switch to work it has to be on the fan/light circuit. i never use the manual switch so it's not necessary

I don't see why not. You may just need a wall circuit converter since they usually have different wall sockets there

Mine is hard wired to a wall switch. I think there are models that include external switch.

No its meant to be hard wired, you will need to buy the proper fixture to plug into wall

This unit has its own switch and could be wired to just plug in and work with the switch that is on it.
