I bought and installed these about 15 years ago. They are a pain in the ass with the tiny screens built into switches that no one really has the eyesight to see. So, I saw and bought a couple of replacement switches that are controllable by iPhone, ALEXA, whatever. Easy to install, easy to read screen on the iPhone or other device. Work via wi-fi. Despite my innate klutziness, I installed each switch in about 10 minutes and once I installed the app on my iPhone, I "programmed" then in a couple of minutes. Came on at 5 pm and shut off at 6 am. Hot damn. There are many brands of these switches available on Amazon. The cheap ones all look pretty much alike and of course they are manufactured in China. Mine were $12 and change each. -- *Lock Trump Up!* You are probably the last individual in the group to embrace this technology. Hint: program them to come on at dusk. I applaud you for challenging your inate klutziness. Keep up the good work. I might be. The timers I originally installed worked ok, but were a pain in the ass to reset if I wanted a change, but not enough of a pain in the ass to bother changing them. I stumbled across their replacements while searching for a couple of three-way switches. -- *Lock Trump Up!* |
