What Customers Are Saying
Customers are divided on this in-wall timer. Many praise its programming flexibility, accurate scheduling, backup battery, and straightforward installation once powered up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a bad switch. The installation was not difficult it took about 10 minutes. That includes switching wires because the instructions were difficult to read. It had power to it but it would not work tried everything. š

Maybe I got a dud, but it doesn't work.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not sure if I got a dud or maybe I have installed it wrong, but even after switching line and load wires around several times, the on/off button doesn't work (it is always on) and the screen never loaded despite waiting several minutes.

DOA
Would Not RecommendBought two of these and wired them up per the instructions and both were dead out of the box. Wired in a different brand the exact same way and it worked.
Fantastic but takes time to start working!
Would RecommendIt works brilliantly, but it took about 10 minutes to ācharge upā and turn on once wired. The instructions say to wait 1 minute, so I thought I messed up the wiring.

Sleek design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This would be great to use but Iām not an electrician. The design is nice and the digital buttons are easy to see. The directions for installation is very small and confusing. Again if I was an electrician, I think it would be great!

Utilitech lighting timer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does its intended purpose. Rarely are we home at dusk to turn the outside lights on. This switch has been a great addition to the house. We can manually override the timer by simply clicking the on/off button without messing with the programming.

Would love this, but...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We always forget to turn off our front lights, so this timer is perfect for us! Unfortunately, my husband, who has done a lot of electrical wiring and his friend who is an electrician, couldn't get this timer to work. The installation was easy. The switch got power, the outside lights turn on and off, but the timer itself stays blank. The screen never appears to program.

Wish I could have tried it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this product complimentary from Influenster to try. Unfortunately, I couldn't try it . I didn't know I would have to install it into the light switch, which I can't do because I live in a rental unit and I can't replace anything it in my lease.

Super easy to install and work
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, the installation process is straightforward, even if you're not super tech-savvy. It replaces a standard light switch, and as long as you have a neutral wire, you're good to go. The instructions are clear, and the design is sleek enough to blend seamlessly with most home decor. What I love most is how customizable it is. You can program it to turn lights or devices on and off at specific times, which is perfect for creating a cozy a...

We love this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We installed this in our cabin that we have been updating. It was easy for my husband to install and eat to set up. He has no problems setting it up and he is not savvy with that stuff. He is talking off installing in our home. I totally recommend.

Great Timer!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great upgrade from the old wall timers my parents used to use. My husband easily installed it for me and now it provides another discouragement for it looks like we are home all the time. Easy to program.

Easier than I thought to install
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I donāt consider myself to be very handy but installing this was kind of a breeze. The instructions are easy to follow and step you through everything thoroughly. I havenāt had the chance to program it yet but imagine that will be easy as well!

Seems durable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just completed the install of this SunSmart 7-Day In-Wall Digital Timer by Utilitech. I like the way it looks. I am not an electrician, but the installation was pretty straightforward. It took me a while to program it though. I like that it has a battery backup, so I donāt have to reprogram it it thereās an electrical outage. It seems well made, so hopefully it will last a long time.

Buy a switch plate before installing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There was some difficulty and that could have had to do with the electrical that was installed in our house. We did get it set up but we had to buy a switch plate before installation. Programming was pretty simple with some accuracy.. Great concept for the home. Average durability.
