Great Automated Switch

Would Recommend

Other reviewers are knocking off stars because of problems having nothing to do with the product itself. I replaced an existing mechanical timer switch in my garage that controls exterior lights around the perimeter of my house. It worked fine, but i wanted something that could sync up with sunrise/sunset without any intervention or adjustment from me. This digital switch does just that. Initial programming is a breeze, and the instructions are easy to understand. We’ll see how it holds up ov...

Amazing Product

Would Recommend

I wish I had more switches that needed to be replaced. I am an average DIYer. I woudknt say I’m above average, but I like the think I can figure stuff out. It took a few tries to get this wired correctly. Our house is older, built in the 60s, so it took a few minutes to figure our exisiting wiring. Once I knew what went where, this was fairly simple to install. I am using this to turn on/off the front porch light from dusk to dawn, and it is beyond easy to program using the preset. I have not tr...

Not sure I received the right order

The product I received had the same item number as the one I ordered, but did not look like the one in the photo online. I haven’t installed it yet, so I’m not sure how well it works

Should have done it years ago.

Would Recommend

I’m not an electrician but I figured it out and it works — the lights come on at sunset and off at sunrise. The down side is that the home builders left a lot of excess wire in the box so it’s hard to stuff the wire and the switch back into the box, especially since it’s a 4-switch box. To neaten it up I’ll need to open it up again, pull all the wire out, trim it down to the minimum wire needed for the switches, and close it up again.

Item is NOT what is described

Would Not Recommend

Buyer beware! This timer is NOT what is pictured or described. Item #869904 does not have the sunrise/sunset feature, and the faceplate looks completely different. Do not order this item because it is WRONG. Come on, Lowe's, that's ridiculous!

Excellent Product

Would Recommend

This product performs flawlessly. Programming is easy to understand and installation instructions are very complete. I am not an electrician and usually do not try to do electrical tasks. I use the sunset/sunrise feature for our front porch light.

Works for a while

Would Not Recommend

Great product but of 5 I have purchased, 4 have failed in 3-4 months. The "ON" -or- "OFF" button selection light stops working. Excellent when it works. Usually fails.

Love this timer

Would Recommend

This has been a great timer. Easy to use. HOWEVER, I dont think their preset selections are realistic. Example their 5pm to 8am. During daylight savings time 5pm is to late of a start time and there is ample light at 6:30_7:00 am.
