 I have several Feb 27, 2010
By D. Bolz
"BigDave"
These work great! it is a little intense setting it up the first couple of times but they usually work very well. i have 3 in my current home and they operate my outside lighting, which by the way are all cfl's. the power outage reset is a drawback, but think of it as an oportunity to stay trained on how to set it up. if it is not working correctly, remember to reset it and a very important step is rotating the dial ALL the way around.
Set-up: 1) push the reset lever to the right and hold it to a count of 5 and release. 2) Set the time: determine if the white is before lunch and black is after lunch, the colors change at 12 noon or midnight, whatever. Spin the dial at least 360 degrees, do not push in while turning, stop at the current time. push in and release, current time is now set. 3) ON Time: Next turn the knob 360 degrees+ stopping at the "ON" time, push in on knob. Look at the light, is it on? If yes move on, if not, start over. 4) Set OFF time: Turn knob at least 360 degrees stopping at the time you want the light to go off, push in on knob. Look at light, is it OFF. Good Job! 5) Not done yet, turn the knob at least 360 degrees, where you end is unimportant. All done. Remember, rotate knob 360 degrees each time, only push knob in to set times, current time, "ON" time and "OFF" time. that should do it. i love them because they fit in a standard wall plate. Normally outside lights are in 2, 3, or 4 gang boxes and replacing all the switches and wall plate with the deorator unit so you can use the new type timer is more than i want to invest.

 works fine Jan 21, 2009
By HC
I have two of these. It wasn't too difficult to install, just make sure you turn off the circuit breaker to the wall switch before you start for safety. After installation, once you get the hang of programming it, you won't need the instruction sheet. Just be careful NOT to press the dial AND rotate--only one or the other at any one time. Once set, just push the dial to manually turn the light on or off at any time; it doesn't disturb the programming. Time is not precise, of course but I didn't need fine adjustment; plus/minus half an hour is good enough for me. I'd estimate the timer to be within 15 minutes of your settings. The LED indicates whether you've a blown bulb, which is a handy indicator. Since it doesn't have independent (battery) power, after a power outtage you will need to redo your settings. It's good enough for my other property which I check weekly. When I go over there, I look for an indication of whether there as been a power outtage and I check to see if the bulb is still good. I've had them for over two years with no problems.
More information at manufacturer's site:[...] their specs indicate that it cannot be used with flourescent bulbs or anything with ballasts.
5/5/2010 update: The first one I installed failed because I had used a CFL bulb (doh!). These are not meant to be used with CFL bulbs. I now have a digital timer switch sold at the local hardware store. I am happier with the replacement; check out the newer switch timers.

 Impossible to use Mar 26, 2009
By Dave
My landlady installed this timer for the exterior lighting. My problem: I can't figure out how to even make the blasted thing turn the lights on. I downloaded the manual, which specifies that the timer will operate like a light switch once it is in automatic mode. But I can't get it into automatic mode - when you turn it on, it is in "being programmed" mode and you have to program it before you can do anything. I've tried both ways to program it suggested by the manual but the steady red light indicative of automatic mode simply doesn't appear.
The profusion of modes in this innocuous-looking little timer (manual, automatic, rapid programming, 24-hour self programming, program review) is a user interface nightmare and far too complex to express effectively with a single red light. Without the manual it's unlikely you could even figure out that most operations are done by depressing the time dial. Advice to the manufacturer: next time do some usability testing.

Horrible Timer. Difficult to use and unreliable May 27, 2008
By Preston
I bought this four years ago and have had nothing but problems. Three problems:
1. EVERY time there is a power outage you need to reset the schedule.
2. It is difficult to set and understand how to program it. Several times I've confused AM and PM causing my light schedule to not work properly.
3. Even when I know I set the timer correctly, it doesn't always work properly.
I'm now on the hunt for a new mechanical timer that hopefully works better.

Less Than Worthless Feb 19, 2011
By Fast Eddie
"Fast Eddie"
From past experience, these Intermatic Timers used to be well-made/reliable. However, after recently installing two timers and having to return them for replacements, I have concluded that the current defects were not a fluke. The quality control on these timers has apparently been abandoned. The first timer wouldn't turn on, the second timer literally fell apart when I was pushing it back into the electrical box, and the third timer (soon to be returned) has developed a mind of its own...turning on and off when it feels like it. Not only do these timers waste consumers' time to install and having to return them to Amazon (great return policy), it is a safety issue.
