A master, a slave is for a 3-way switch.

Q2.  If I have a few lights controlled by 2 swicches doe I need 1
> master and 1 slave?
Yes as stated above.

q3.  What kind of switch do I need to control a fan?
Setup as a relay not dimmer

q4.  What kind of switch do you recommend for a fluorescent light.
Relay like above.

What is the best way to program these switches: Which Omni product

I prefer Elk products and they support UPB. But I also sell HAI OMNI.
You program them with SA upstart.
http://www.simply-automated.com/products/sa_upstart.htm

And if you want I should be able to get you a great package deal. Just email
me a detailed list. The great thing about SA switches is Every switch is a
dimmer, a relay switch AND a transmitter depending on how you program it.
