Set Your Lights On a Schedule with a Programmable Light Switch Timer

Ryan B.: No issues. Easy install. Lights go on and off at dusk and dawn through out the year without any adjustments.

Amazon Customer: I love that this thing is exactly as “smart” as it needs to be. No more, no less. Pretty easy to install and looks good too.

N. Dured: I installed this programmable timer switch for my outdoor garage and porch lights 5 years ago. Never a problem. Worked flawlessly.
I love that I can override the program with a simple push of a button on nights when I want to turn off the lights manually, and I like that it automatically goes back to the normal program after that.
Just a great product - no more remembering to turn lights on or off.
This is far, far better than those light sensor timers that make the lights "flicker" or have other problems. For example, with this electronic timer I could time the garage and porch lights to turn off 30 minutes before sunrise, and I could program them to come on 45 minutes after sunset. Or I can turn off the lights at midnight on specific nights of the week. You just can't do that with a light sensor.
This works so well I purchased and installed another one for the light next to my garage walk-in door.

Amazon Customer: This is a great little smart switch that allows me to set and forget my need to flip on the porch light at night and flip it off in the morning.

Pros:

* Simple, sleek, clean design with white backlight which IMO looks much nicer than some of the hideous blue backlight displays of other brands
* Even with automatic schedule running - you can still override by manually turning light on and off
* Sunrise/Sunset time tables built into firmware and queried based on date/time/latitude/longitude
* Easy to Install
* Love that it works autonomously (no wifi required)

Cons:

* Overall the setup navigation is quite easy, however, it took searching through a couple of youtube videos to find out how to configure all days to turn my porch light on at sunset and turn it off at sunrise. Even after understanding how to set it up this way, it's still a bit unclear whether the switch will adjust for sunrise and sunset based on the date since the way you configure it shows the time of sunrise/sunset for the day you configured it.

Unknown: Excellent product. I've been using it for about a year now, and had zero issues with it. It seriously is perfect! The time of day that the lights turn on and off change with seasons, meaning that the lights always turn on in the evening when it starts to get dark (which is earlier in the winter and later in the summer), and turns off in the morning at dawn. This adjustment in the timing is automatic, seamless and is perfectly timed (but you have to set it up properly for your geographic location, which is easy to do and is well explained in the manual).

Amazon Customer: A bit tricky to initially set up but not really difficult. We love programming is not erased after a power outage (which is not true for many other models). We like to keep the outside lights on at night, and now we don’t have to remember to turn them on, or to turn them off in the morning.

Pilot Pete: I am very pleased with this neat timer. I bought one to control the lights on the front of our house and was happy enough with its operation that I bought another for our rear patio light (all LEDs). I have had them since September and October of last year (about 8 months now) and they have performed flawlessly. I installed them after I learned that a house several doors down our street had a break-in.

I installed the timers myself. As has been mentioned, you do need to have a neutral wire, so you'll need to confirm you have a neutral wire in the junction box where it's going to be installed. The timer does take up more room, so you'll also want to confirm there's some extra room for it to fit properly. I installed one switch in a box that contained three switches, and the other in a box that contained two. Some wire re-arranging was necessary. Also, the three-switch box had three neutral wires coming in to the box and the supplied wire nut was too small, so I had to use a larger wire nut (which I luckily happened to have on hand from another project).

Programming on/off times for the timer isn't even necessary if you're satisfied with the default settings, which is...
