Customer Reviews for AutoChron Wireless Programmable Wall Switch Timer - White

I love it, I had been looking for a programmable timer like that. Bought three before going on vacation a few years ago, worked flawlessly, I still use two, daily and they have been working flawlessly for now 2 years and use the third one occasionally. Unfortunately I had to buy them somewhere else, when I asked about them in several stores no one had a clue

Excellent!

Timer has been excellent to make it look like someone is home when we are away. It works with a standard on-off switch and fits over the existing cover plate, so there is no messy wiring to change. The only items which were not included were a longer (1") machine screw and AA batteries. It is battery-powered, so if the power goes out, it keeps time. When a person wants to have the timer set up but not have it turn lights on or off, a cover plate slides to the side. If it is installed, the "on" and "off" button on the face turns lights on or off manually. The best feature is Program 0, which turns lights on and off at random intervals between midnight and 6 a.m. It makes it look like someone has gotten up in the middle of the night for a few minutes. A person can set up on and off times for Monday through Thursday, or Monday through Friday, or the weekend only, or all week, as well as a different cycle for each day of the week. The only reason I do not give it a perfect 5-star rating is the instruction booklet. It looks like it was not written by a native English speaker (some of the syntax is a little weird). It is best to read the instructions through one time completely before touching the timer. We own two of these timers and purchased another two for a neighbor. I would definitely recommend this product.

This is my third Autochron. It works well with light switches. I don’t have to remember to turn on and off the porch lights. Programming is easy. I recommend this product.

Excellent product

Operates as advertised and is easy to program.

Many many years ago I bought two of these. Still using them after ten+ years later....wanted another and was quite surprised that they were available at Home Depot. So I ordered another ASAP! It's to ensure that I don't burn the Garage lights at night unless I really want to. I use them to ensure the Garage/Front Porch/ and Rear Patio lights are turned off during the day, and that the Front Porch and Rear Patio lights come on automatically for the night as security measures. They work like clockwork! Before I had these I would go to work at O-dark thirty and come home at the end of the day only to see the front porch lights burning away in the daylight. What a waste that was - not any longer. Set the time you want to turn on and turn off any light switch - and you can select any day or every day. Its a breeze to setup. Plus you can over ride them with a push of a button.

This is my 2nd one and I find them easy to program and consistently good.

Using AutoChtom at two different switch location and I think they are great.

Does exactly what it says it does.

I was so happy to find a timer that could work on a toggle wall switch! This was really easy to setup, it fits well where I needed it on a middle switch (on a wall plate with three switches). I've had it programmed to work daily for a month already and it's been great!

Very easy to install

Very easy to install and program.

After a couple of times using, it went into ERROR state. Tried to reset it several times, still no way to get it back to work again.

Works well

This product is a great help. Only have to remember to change the battery.

The product works perfectly.

I have used this item for years.Rich

This wall switch timer was easy to install and to program. It mounts over a regular wall switch and moves the switch either on or off according to the programming. It makes it easy to make your home look occupied even when no one is home. It is quite simple and easy to install and program. It also indicates room temperature.

Great to have lights on when you arrive home in the dark . Easy to assemble on switch plate !

The product works fine but the name is, in my opinion, a little misleading. It should read "Battery Operated" instead of "Wireless".

This product works well without wiring and this is my second purchase in nearly ten years. I recommend using high quality batteries such as Duracell. My last one worked fine for the longest time until a cheap battery went bad inside. Very easy to program and will last long for the price. I works by simply lifting the light switch at the designated time.

I can't believe how easy it was to install. Works perfectly.

This is the second one of these we purchased and they work beautifully. Much easier to program than other brands.
