I have two porch lights on a switch, will this work? null

Yes, as long as there is only one switch controlling both lights. Two way switches in which you have two switches controlling the same light(s) will not work with these.

Yes it will work for that. If you have more than one light switch controlling the lights it can still be done, but it will take a little electrical wiring knowledge. If you only have one switch controlling the lights installation is pretty simple.

This switch can replace any standard switch. What is at the other end does not matter (fan, light, whaterver)

That depends on how they are wired and how much current they draw. If they are controlled by only one switch, and the lights are typical residential fixtures, then it will probably work fine. For other configurations, provide the details so you get a meaningful answer. In all circumstances, please proceed on your own responsibility, I'm just offering an educated guess, and take no responsibility for what you choose to do. There are no safety guarantees with electricity or the Internet as a source of information ; ) .

It should work fine as long as you have a neutral wire in the electrical box.

From what I remember you must have a neutral wire in the light switch wiring. many electrical switches (not outlets) only have a black (hot lead)

Yes, as long the set of lights are controlled with only one light switch. The wemo light switches cannot control a three-way switch (two switches control one set of lights). I am using these switches to control the two lights outside my garage right now.

The WEMO Light Switch can manage multiple lights in a series connection but it does not support 3-way switching.

Yes it will work. I have 6 kitchen ceiling lights connected to this switch.
