Biggest thing on this is read the instructions. I spent hours trying to figure out why it wouldn't work correctly until I saw it may have to charge a little before it would work correctly. If only i read the instructions I could of saved all that time doing diagnostics on thinking my wiring was wrong.Also you need a neutral wire. I did an older home remodel with this product for my father. He had no neutrals to the box. I used this switch for a new bathroom fan install.

Easy to use, and individual buttons for each time instead of scrolling down one button to choose the timer.

As advertised. Easy to install. The buttons all works as they should! For reference, this is the 2nd switch I have bought, I recommend

This looks good and fits well in my 4-gang wall box. I replaced a bathroom fan and bathroom towel rack heater switch that was constantly getting left on. This was my second attempt- despite having all new upgraded wiring in the past two years I don't have the neutral wire, so I had to return a different product to get this. This one I initially installed upside-down... i.e. i followed the instructions and connected the red wire to the red wire and the black wire to the black wire of the original switch. had to search a lot on the internet to realize that i needed to connect the black to the red and the red to the black. Now it works well too. Makes a louder than expected clicking noise when pressed due to the capacitor relay but it's not that annoying. Turns off on time. easy enough to install once you realize the way the wiring is supposed to be. no idea how long it will last- just finished putting it in yesterday.

Al principio me preocupo por que no funcionaba pero realmente fue mi culpa en la instalación, pero funciona excelenre,muy útil.

Muy bueno sólo mencionar que la conección a tierra funciona mejor al neutro, es mas estable.

As most reviewers have reported, installation is a breeze. The no neutral wire requirement was essential for my install. There's ample room for unit to fit next to the light socket/switch. My only complaint is that light does not stay on for the time selected, it only flashes briefly when initially selected. Also the longer times are not really practical, better to have smaller incremental times (under 1 hour).

After wiring up this unit - hot to black, load to red and ground to green - and turning the breaker on, I was scratching my head as it didn't seem to work to turn my bathroom exhaust fan on and off. I undid all the connections, reconnected the old switch and everything worked. So I came back to this timer switch and whatever I did seemed to charge the unit and I saw a couple flashes and I was in business.Obviously I didn't read the supplied paper instructions, which specify that the unit takes a minute to fully charge (assuming the minute is after the breaker is turned on) and lights will flash when charged!Anyway it seems to work for its intended purpose. Each of the timer buttons work. When the power button is short-pressed on it activates the last used timer.Easy to install and takes up no more room than a normal two-rocker switch.I have this switch controlling the fan of a Panasonic exhaust-heater-light-night light - 4 rockers on a 2 gang box. The fan and main light were on one double pole rocker and I gave up the main light control and capped off that load. The bathroom has lights anyway and the night light appears just as bright for backup.

This thing works just perfectly for this old house with no neutral wire. I'm using it to control a bathroom vent fan. Here are some things to know:1) You do need to connect this exactly as the instructions say even when you have two black wires that aren't labeled properly as to which one is hot and which one leads to the load (light, fan, etc.)2) The earth ground is required for operation and not just for safety! if you don't see a green wire, look for a naked copper wire which is probably connected to the wall box. You can attach the green wire either directly to the naked wire or screw the green wire to the wall box if the naked wire is screwed to it.3) if you have two black wires, and don't know which one leads to the load, just try to guess based on where the wires are coming into the box. If you know the path through the walls to the load device then that will help. If you guess wrong, the switch won't work properly. In this case just shut off the circuit break and swap the black wires. After that it should work.4) When you restore power, the switch might start up in the "on" state and your load (fan, light) might be running. Just wait a minute or less and it will shut off as soon as the capacitor in the switch charges up. Then wait a few more minutes and the switch should be working as expected.I think the switch probably uses a design like US Patent US5903139A. This charges a capacitor, not a battery, so should have a decently long lifetime.If you do have a neutral wire in your house (2 phase AC power) like most modern houses, then you're probably better off with a design that makes use of the neutral wire and the 2nd electrical phase to power itself. That will avoid the start up delay.

Excellent Product. Wiring schematic was well presented and instructions easy to follow. 3 wires. Ground, Black (to power source), red to device (in my case the fan). I did time tests for the 5 to 60 minutes timers and the accuracy level was near 100%. Using it to control my bathroom exhaust fan and am very pleased that I get that extra run time following a shower without the worry of having the fan run on for hours. Simple touch operated. Hit the time you need and go. Big button at bottom when hit will run based on the last time selected. Product looks very nice. It shares the same box as my GFCI outlet. The switch and outlet are snug but everything fits. For my usage I did not use the cover plate that was provided as I needed a double faced plate.
