Self-Adjusting Wall Switch Timer |
|
This product was easy to install and program. More importantly it works as advertised. The start and stop time changes based upon sunrise and sunset times and the automatic timing feature can be overridden by depressing the large square section on the front of the timer under the LCD Screen so that the timer then functions as a normal light switch. |

Wroks great (but hard to see) |
|
The unit works great after you set it. But is very hard to see to set it. I have only use it for a few weeks, but it seem to with the three time sets very well. |

ST01 series "eats" batteries |
|
I had to replace an earlier model that went belly-up a couple of months ago after working fine for 4 years. The replacement unit that I picked up was the Intermatic Model ST01 series. The engineers had redesigned the unit to use a camera battery (CR-2) instead of the previous models AAA batteries. Bad design!!! The CR-2s only last less than two months. I've gone through 4 batteries in about 7 months. They should never have gotten away from the AAA batteries!!! ...I've got to find another timer that uses a different battery design. |

Great Improvement over old models |
I am a previous owner of an Intermatic SS8C, which worked great - when it worked. The NO OP problems that plagued everyone with those finally did mine in.
Fortunately, Intermatic was generous with the warranty and sent us this new model as a replacement when they could have replaced it with the same older model (I am guessing they had a large amount of those defective models stock piled somewhere) just to get us through our warranty period.
This new model has been installed for about a year with no notable issues (other than time advancing - see below). The battery has a long life so we have not had to replace it. No NO OP message. It just works as advertised.
Features I like are the ability to work with CFL, the time adjust to account for sunrise and sunset, and the large amount of programs available.
Someone did complain in a review about it gaining time, and they are correct. Ours gains a minute or two a month. Hardly a deal breaker. When I reset the time, I put it about 4 minutes slow. So, in 4 months, it is about 2 to 4 minutes ahead. It takes literally less than a minute to reset the time, so it is a small inconvenience for all the positives this light offers. The only reason I bring it up at all is because it was knocked down quite heavily in the other review for what I feel is so minor.
Overall, I would buy this again, and have recommended it to friends and relatives.

Excellent |
|
Have had this for about a month and trouble-free. Installation was very easy. Unit sits deep inside so will need to re-arrange existing wiring in box to make room, but is almost flush outside (prior model stuck out like a sore thumb). The settings become intuitive after a couple of times. That was a complaint I read most prior to purchasing this item, but that is not the case. This unit has four buttons compared to six from the previous model. A very useful feature is the sunrise/sunset option where the unit will automatically adjust the sunrise/sunset times based on your region and turn on/off the lights based on those times. With the previous model, I was constantly changing the on/off times because of the change in seasons. Overall, very nice product with good features. |
