Customers overwhelmingly praise the timer for straightforward installation requiring only a screwdriver and basic DIY skills. The intuitive LCD display and responsive buttons make programming multiple on-off schedules effortless, with many appreciating the set-and-forget convenience and battery backup that preserves settings during outages. Users consistently highlight reliable, precise timekeeping, solid build quality, and features like the blue indicator light and random occupancy modes for home security and energy savings.

Would RecommendThis switch us cool! Can program two separate on/off cycles plus manually turn the switch on or off. Works great for us. Because this switch was in a box with three regular toggle switches I cut out the old faceplate with a Dremel tool and it looks good.

Does not work
Would Not RecommendSet it up as directed in the instruction. The device display lights up and sets the clock and on & off times, but does not turn on the porch lights. Tried to reset it as directed to defaults and then again. Same thing: lights do not turn up neither manually, nor do they turn on automatically at the set times. Defective as some other customers also described.
Compact In-wall timer
Would RecommendEasy install for single-pole lighting circuits. This unit is not compatible with 3-way and 4-way switch wiring installations. Although the Lowes website says it is compatible with 3-way, it is not. My garage lights have two 3-way and one 4-way toggle switch controls. There is no way to get this unit to work with that setup.

Easy to set
Would RecommendEasy to install and easy to program. I’m not needing different schedules on different days. On/off same time, every day is perfect.

Does what it says
Would RecommendThis timer was installed to replace a photocell on a carport light. The photocell frustratingly would fail after a year or two. This time we are trying a different approach. The timer is working well, so far. The installation was straightforward and programming was a breeze. It is installed in a 4-gang switch box along with 3 other switches. Yes, there was alot of wires in the box, but we were able to make enough room for the timer. We are happy with the outcome. The timer blends well along...

In-wall light timer
I do not recommend this product for the DIY market. First, the enclosed instructions are written so small that it requires a magnifier to read. I enlarged it on my PC. The instructions were not posted on Lowe’s website even though it’s their product. Second, programming is difficult and not intuitive. You have to use a pencil eraser to press some of the buttons and you don’t always get the commands that you’re expecting.

Good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installation is quite easy, and in our new home, this extra functionality adds a new touch. The design is good. Durability and accuracy is top notch.
