Questions & Answers

Does this allow for weekly or biweekly settings, not daily? (I would like to set it to turn on a water pump for irrigation 2x/week).

Answer This Question

Amy thank you for your question. No, the myTouchSmart Timer model 36027 allows for two customizable on/off times per day, but it does not support weekly or biweekly scheduling directly. This means you can set it to turn on and off at specific times during the day, but you can't program it to operate only on specific days of the week (like only Tuesdays and Fridays).

    I'm looking for a timer that can be set to turn off then back on within a minute or two to reset my internet modem on a daily basis. I could work with up to 10 minutes between the on and off cycle. Also, does this timer use a relay for the switching?

    Robert, thank you for your question. While this is a great timer I would recommend going with item 26898-P2 based on your needs. This timer has a countdown feature, that you can customize (up to 24 hours - 1 minute intervals) which will do what you are wanting your timer to do.

      Will this be able to handle a pump that needs to be on 5 minutes and off 20 minutes then on 5 minutes...etc...?

              It does not. So if the power goes out, the timer will need to be reset.

                    Will this control a standard household refrigerator? I want to prevent the refrigerator from cycling for 3 hours during flex alerts. During flex alert, the refrigerator won't ever be opened, so large loss of cold air won't be a problem.

                      Don't buy this failure=prone digital timer
                      Unit worked for awhile. Then the controlled light would not turn on. It requires a special screwdriver bit to open the case. Once inside the case, I could see a glued-in small failure-prone nickel metal hydride battery. In the photograph this is the light green object with the white arrow pointing to it. Competing timers use a replaceable lithium coin-shaped battery. Those are the digital timers you should purchase instead, as this one is designed to fail.

                        Easy to use.
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love things that can simplify my life. This is easy to use and you can use this for indoor or outdoor lighting and appliances. When we go on vacation, I wanted something that I could use on my outdoor lighting. This will turn them on and off and you can customize the timings. It is also weather resistant which is a plus. We have daily rain here in the summer so I needed something that would withstand The Florida weather.

                          I bought 2 a year ago to control Christmas light displays. Easy to set and worked perfectly last year. This year when pulled out of storage, both had retained the correct time and programming. I'm happy with the sturdy construction and ease of use of this device. The tab for a screw to fix it to a wall is a nice touch and the flat surface surrounding the power socket makes it easy to add a splitter if needed.

                            This is an easy to use timer for turning on and turning off lighting in the home. It is easy to set up the on and off times for 2 different on and off periods during the day or night. This is handy if you want the light to come on in the evening and go off later at night and then come on again early in the morning and go off later in the morning. It is a bit bulky as you can see from my picture and so this appearance might matter to you if the timer is in an exposed area. The timer works as it is supposed to work and does the job as described.

                            The MyTouch Simple Set Plug-In Timer is a rugged Indoor/outdoor timer that is easy to program and can control one appliance. Proper installation is difficult and doesn’t look very good. The electrical cord is short and stiff, and projects outward from the socket. The timer unit has a hole at the top (and a keyed hole on the back) and is meant to be affixed to the wall. However, the short cord prevents easy/good looking installation. I imagine most folks just let it dangle. The programming is simple and allows for two ‘on-off’ cycles per day. It is missing an “on” switch that should allow the appliance to be controlled separately from the programming. This is a disappointment for me. In short, it seems well-made, it is easy to program but lacks an important feature the limits its usefulness and is difficult to mount in an aesthetically pleasing way.

                            This is the best timer for people who want simplicity. I have other timers for indoors, but this can also be used outdoors - just don't let it get exposed to laying it in a water prone area! No more setting those little stop & start prongs that insert to the dial. Just plug it into your outlet, set the present time, then press the button for the time you want the light (appliance) to start, and then set the stop time with the other button. You can set it to run two times in a day if desired, providing 2 other buttons for on/off settings. Once you have the current time and the programmed times done, just plug your appliance to the bottom of the timer and you're set. Make sure your lamp switch is "on" so when the timer reaches the "on" time, it is ready to light up. It's well made, has a ground (3 prong) for the outlet and 3 prong for the appliance connection. I am really impressed with its simplicity and indoor/outdoor feature. A true winner.
