Directions need some work. It is not clear how exactly how to set the dawn to dusk feature. I doesn't really tell you that the dawn to dusk button is the one with the little moon and sun images on it. You need to press program, then press set , then press the dawn to dusk button for moon to set the on setting. The instructions fail to tell you to press the set button, then the dawn to dusk button. I did call customer support before I bought this timer to ask ask about using it with a dimmer. They said you can't use it with a dimmer. They did not have someone available to answer my questions but did call back within several hours. Also, I found out that you can use it on a 3 way set-up but I think you MAY need to make sure it in the right spot within the wiring run. If you wiring 3 way and it is not working, call customer service to ask about that.
That all being said the timer is still great and I would buy it again.
Wiring - Simply follow the instructions to wire in the new digital timer switch (make sure you flip your breaker switch OFF to avoid potential electrical jolts). My particular installation had 4 wires...black (hot)/white (neutral)/red (load to the fan)/and a bare ground wire. I attached the 4 wires to the corresponding poles on the switch, turned the breaker switch ON, and it powered up and worked like a charm. If you're using this switch as a replacement for another existing in-wall timer switch, pay close attention (take pictures) to how that switch is wired before you remove the old switch. That will likely be the best guide for where the wires go on this particular digital switch. It's not that difficult - just keep in mind that for electrical wiring, most often, the white is neutral, black is hot, and red is typically a load wire. Ground wires are always bare (copper) or green.
Programming is easy...after setting the time, date and year, hit the program button, set the time you wish your fan or light to power on automatically, then choose the days of the week. Finally, set the time for switching the fan OFF in the same manner. Close the little door (which acts as a button to manually turn the fan/light on or off) and you're done.
The best part about this digital switch is that it's half the cost of another Intermatic in-wall dial/mechanical timer switch (runs $52 plus tax) and is much easier to deal with, plus it looks a lot nicer on the wall. It even adjusts for daylight savings time automatically which is another bonus. No more flipping down tiny little switches on a mechanical dial that is doomed for failure years down the road. The TOPGREENER digital switch also has a built-in backup battery in case power goes out.
Overall a great product and perfect for replacing those Intermatic in-wall dial timers that are rather ugly and aren't likely to last since they're mechanical, inaccurate, and prone to failure.
It was worth the extra few bucks compared to BN-Link 7 Day.
Top reviews from other countries
It worked fine a year, was fairly straightforward to setup & install, and turned the exterior lights on/off at dusk/dawn. Then it stopped working.
1) The timer will not pass power onto the load side, even when you manually turn it on. Tested with power meter.
2) The timer won't hold date/time settings. I set the current date/time and came back to check the following day and says it's 2017 again and the time is incorrect.
Had to remove and throw it out. I find this very frustrating.
