Reviews

I purchased this timer for my exterior lights because I was tired of coming home to a dark driveway or realizing in the middle of the day that the lights were never shut off. The switch is also nicely lit for easy access in the garage. This product allows for specified on/off timing for certain days of the week and for precision you can adjust to your latitude and longitude to come on at dusk and off at dawn. Never again will you need to come home to a dark drive or worry about wasting energy by leaving lights on all day. I was satisfied with the first switch and just ordered a second for another set of exterior lights. You will have peace of mind without having to think about your lights.

I looked at local stores for a programmable switch and could not find anything close to what I need. A local store guy suggested searching online. I found T1070 and bought it from Amazon. I got it in 2 days. It took me about 10 mins to install and setup. Really easy. It works perfect with my front porch lights. Thanks a lot for such a great product.

I bought this switch in January and it worked well for about four months. One day I came home and the light was on, when is should have been programmed to be off. It turns out that the switch broke and now it will never turn off. I called Aube (Honeywell) customer service and they told me that the switch was defective and they knew that it had to be replaced. Aube has a three year guarantee, however they will not honor the guarantee because the item was bought from AMAZON.COM. Amazon will not let me return the item because it is out of the return window, even though it is under warranty through the manufacturer. I have learned my lesson about buying electronics from AMAZON.

I bought this timer switch to control two 26 watt florescent lights (connected to the same switch) on my back porch. I was getting tired of having to manually turn them on at night and then remembering to turn them off in the morning (which I would sometimes forget so they'd be on all day!). I've changed light switches/outlets before but am by no means an experienced electrician and I was able to handle this installation. Please remember to cut the power at the circuit breaker first!! Here was my scenario; the existing switch only had 2 black wires connected. With a little help from my electrician friend I was able to identify which wire was the Load and which was the Line. After that, installation went smoothly. I connected the Load from the house to the Load on the switch then connected the Line from the house to the Line & 3-Way wire on the switch (since mine was a single pole installation, their instructions said to do this). I simply capped the Green wire on the switch. Before shoving the switch back into the wall, I flipped the power back on at the breaker. I made sure that the unit was powered on as expected and there were no fires. Since everything looked good, I cut the power again, pushed the wires into the wall and screwed in the switch & plate. I powered back up and began programming. The programming took me about 20 minutes to complete. Most of the options are pretty easy... backlighting, time/date, latitude, longitude, etc... The part that took the longest was the Automatic time table programming. I decided to go with the Automatic option since I could program exactly what time I want the lights to turn on/off every day of the week. I didn't want the lights to turn on/off at the same time every day since that would suggest to potential burglars that the lights were on a timer. Instead I programmed the lights to turn on between 8pm and 9pm, and turn off between 6am and 7am. For example, Monday the lights will turn on at 8:06pm and turn off Tuesday at 6:22am. Tuesday the lights will turn on at 8:32pm and turn off Wednesday at 6:05am, etc... I thought of using the Random option but it seems weird to have my porch lights turn on and off multiple times during a specific timeframe, I think that option is more for inside lights where you'd be flipping the lights on/off throughout the day to give the appearance of the house being occupied. Anyway, there was a learning curve but after a few minutes of messing around with it you will understand the menus and can easily program whatever you want. Last night was the first `test' and it worked perfectly. This morning the lights turned off exactly on schedule. So far so good! It's a cool little unit. I'm already planning to get one for my front porch lights. I will add a follow-up review after a few weeks of use.

Love it. I was quite proud of myself because I had never done any electrical work before and was able to put this in myself - replacing and existing switch in a wallplate. I used a Fluke 1AC-A1-II Volt-Alert AC Non-Contact Voltage Tester and a plier as a wire cutter/stripper to get this installed. Cut off power at the circuit breaker, removed the wall plate and the existing switch. cut and stripped the existing wires and made the connections to the new switch. Temporarily got the power back on the check whether it was all working. Initially the switch did not light up and I found out that one of connections had pulled apart. The voltage tested was helpful in checking the connections. Fixed the connection and put it all back in the socket and got the power back on. Programming it took all of 2 mins. Have since changed some of the outside bulbs to CFL's to conserve energy as these now come on every evening.
