Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This timer is very heavy duty and can switch large loads such as several street lights.

A little tricky squeezing it in to the existing box, but it can be done. After viewing, easy as can be. Just set the clock and programmed it before installing.

Installation wiring is pretty straightforward; there is at least one good video by intermatic on youtube that nicely supplements the written instructions that comes with the product. The video on youtube helps a lot, though you never know if the elect...  Read More



Cons

The programming of this device is not intuitive. After 45 minutes, i think it may be programmed but will have to see whether or not it is working. The electronic readouts are tiny and dim, making it extremely difficult to read.

After a year it start to randomly miss turning the lights on. It cannot be programed for every on/off times desired. Two of the newer ones periodically the time resets to midnight and they stick as open or closed.

Price


Only downside is the price otherwise a 5 star product


2 digits are displayed for each value in my case lat

Shipping


The customer service representative got me set up in a matter of minutes and the switch now functions perfectly


I emailed intermatic late at night received a reply within hours that provided a direct phone number


Earlier this week it did not come on at dusk as usual and i couldnt turn it on manually either


I like how this seller sent me 2 special batteries when the last one of these arrived without a battery or wire nuts

Packaging/appearance


I mean its like we have our own tiny invisible stonehenge druid in this little white box at the front door


Note that this timer does not come with a cover so dont forget to order that too

Competitiveness


I replaced a similar earlier intermatic timer


I haven’t reviewed all the other options such as the random onoff to fool your neighbors the different settings for days of the week etc


The price of this is higher than options that require a negative wire but its better than rewiring


The less expensive model doesnt have that feature like the st01 intermatic
