Tools and Hardware Reviews of Intermatic ST01C White Self Adjusting Wall Switch Timer
Customer Review: works great
Summary: 5 Stars
I installed 2 of these units for fixtures with CFL bulbs. The installation was extremely easy. when programming, follow the separate programming " cheat sheet" rather than the installation manual, it's a lot easier.
So far, I'm pleased with the product.
Customer Review: Timer for electrical circuits
Summary: 5 Stars
this ST01 timer is the one to use when you need to control devices plugged into a circuit other than simple incandescent lights. We have a transformer for outdoor lighting on the circuit and this is the timer that is compatible. Intermatic also makes a timer that looks almost the same called the EJ500. However, it should only be used for controlling incandescent lights, not other devices plugged into a circuit. Customer Review: Works w. CFL's but tricky to program
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a shame you can't find these at a local Home Depot or Lowes for they are excellent to have. This unit eliminated the CFL flicker my old timer used to cause while my exterior CFL lights were off. I have 2 15W CFL bulbs on this unit. The battery back-up is excellent to have in the event of a power loss, especially since it has a somewhat difficult program setup. Programming the timer was a little tricky at first but I was able to figure it out eventually, just have A LOT of patience. The buttons are very small and close together which makes it even more tedious a task. You can program it to turn on at dusk and off at dawn every day or make up you own program for each day. It even corrects for daylight savings time. I have another timer switch made by Aube which trounces this timer in ease of programming but lacks the battery back-up. Overall, very pleased w. this timer and going to buy another one for my patio.Customer Review: One of the greatest products purchased for my home.
Summary: 5 Stars
This electrical switch is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to provide automatic outdoor lighting for my house based on sunrise/sunset times. But, one of the biggest issues was that I wanted to use it with compact fluorescent bulbs and this is the only one I found that could. It is great for when I arrive home later then expected after sunset and the lights are on welcoming me home. Just set it once and forget it. It even has a daylight savings time feature available.
Truly one great product!
Customer Review: Intermatic wall switch timer.
Summary: 5 Stars
This was purchased to replace a much older model, whose internal relay finally began malfunctioning.
This newer model is closer to the wall (and somewhat harder to find in the dark). It includes dawn and dusk as times (which the older model did not). These two times vary by date. Don't yet know how accurate they are. They are set by entering sunrise and sunset times for the current date, and choosing an area of the USA by latitude (high, medium, low). Programming is straightforward.
The internal CR2 battery is not common, but we happen to use it for our garage door remotes.
Hookup is easy. The switch can be used as a single switch, or part of a three-way system.
Cons: none yet, unless you need designer colors on the switch.
