Low energy use allows the user to benefit from an extended battery lifetime without having to frequently change batteries. Hope this all makes sense and I would recommend this device especially if you intend to use LED bulbs.

There is also a random function which turns the light on in the night at random times for about 3 minutes each time.So I have this setup so that the floodlight comes on at midnight for security when the other one goes off. Because they are battery operated they are not affected by powercuts so are better than the socket timers of old. A simple battery powered motorised switch mechanism which can be used for single,2 or 3 pole panel by adding or removing the wheels within the assembly, took minutes to install, slightly longer to set times as there are many options,now installed it works, note the motor operation is audible. Reliable wireless signal guaranteed to offer house wide coverage with a large operating range for UK homes with solid walls.

This is useful if you are away as it mimics someone getting up in the middle of the night for a comfort break. The receiver can be connected to multiple smart sensors including our door bell so the same chime will alert you to a visitor on your property and to your door.

The light switch timer has a battery life between 18 – 24 months so you shouldn’t find your self replacing them often. Once this has been plugged in, it goes through a start up process which takes a few minutes and then following a beep the LEDs come on and the display shows a 0. The light switch timer has a 24-7 timer programme so programmes can be set to minute to minute accuracy.

Bought this so I know when people come onto my drive, it’s great however, have had a few false alarms. The receiver can be connected to multiple sensors including our doorbell so the same chime will alert you to a visitor on your property and to your door. Now, pop 2 batteries (not supplied) into the unit, adjust the wheels for either a 1, 2 or 3 switch gang, programme the unit and slide into the cradle. The 1st has worked perfectly for the last couple of years and hence my reason to choose the same product. Unfortunately I bought these a few years ago so am not entitled to a refund which I feel morally entitled to.

The light switch timer is battery operated device and therefore works independently to the mains power supply. So, you need to ignore the other switch (unless there is an emergency and you need light immediately). As I didn’t want to release any flammable gas into my home I haven’t tested that but I’m sure that it will work.
