Decora Wall Switch with Pir Occupancy Sensor Review

Decora Wall Switch with Pir Occupancy Sensor

If you are using compact fluorescent bulbs, this is not the switch you want. The lights flicker and it burns out the bulbs prematurely. If you are (and always will be) using incandescent it may suit your needs.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These switches are a great way to put a night light in areas where an outlet isn't available, like a stairwell, and also for a more streamlined look than a plug-in night light. They are bright and illuminate areas very well. Probably too bright for a bedroom; although the outlet model would probably be ok there, since the installation would be below eye level. One note: these require hot, neutral and ground wire connections to be available.

GE® Motion Sensing Switch - 2 Pack Review

GEĀ® Motion Sensing Switch - 2 Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you use Compact Flourescent Lights this type of motion sensor does not work- the CFLs will flicker instead of turning off. CFLs are not compatible with most automatic-on motion sensors as they still require a bit of current flow. You need a motion sensor that includes a neutral wire, which is unfortunate for me as the wiring in my house is old and doesn't have neutral wires.

The GE Motion Sensing Switch automatically turns the light on when motion is detected. Built-in timer lets you set the length of time the light stays on--from five seconds to 20 minutes after motion ceases.

GE 15071 In Wall, 7-Day Digital Random Timer Review

GE 15071 In Wall, 7-Day Digital Random Timer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I don't really know how to feel about these timers. They look great once installed, I purchased two of them for my outside lights. The first one has worked like a charm from day one with no problems whatsoever. However, the second one which I bought from the same store (Home Depot) has given me nothing but problems. It started out by randomly resetting itself, and has gotten progressively worse until now the screen is either a jumbled mess, or simply blank. The timer no longer works, even the manual override is broken. I have verified that the wiring is correct on both of these timers.
Perhaps I got the one lemon out of a otherwise solid product, I'm not really sure that I want to spend another $30 to find out.

3-Way Motion Sensor Wall Switc Review

3-Way Motion Sensor Wall Switc
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
During a visit to my brothers fabulous new condo I fell in love with his auto motion-sensing lights that were scattered around the house. I have a long hallway at home and I definitely could benefit from having one, so i looked it up, researched it, and found out it was these fancy little light switches that were doing all the work. I found this unit here on Amazon and a similar unit at Home Depot for around the same price. After finding my local Home Depot out of stock, I ordered two of these light switches and they came within a few days. Installing them was a cinch, even on my 80-year old apartment's wiring. The end result is everything I imagined it to be. All for a little over 20 bucks a piece? It's totally worth it. I'm ordering two more for the bathroom and the living room.
TO NOTE: Installing is pretty easy. It comes with directions but you pretty much just hook it up the same way your old light switch is hooked up. Be sure to turn off the power to the section of the house/apartment where you'll be installing these. Don't electrocute yourself.

Programmable Wall Switch Timer Review

Programmable Wall Switch Timer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This programmable timer wall switch works great. We use it to turn on and off a heated towel rack in the bathroom. Had to hit the reset button after first application of power (didn't see that in the instructions, but it may have been there). Took a bit to figure out the programming, but after that, it was a breeze. 20 different programs that can be set for either every day, work week days, weekend days or single days gives you a tremendous variety of options. There is also a random setting. The Countdown timer program could be explained better. Also allows use with 3 way switch circuits if desired.
All in all we are very satisfied. Will probably consider adding a few more to control some outside lights.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Programmable Wall Switch Timer

This Programmable Wall Switch Timer is designed to be a replacement for your standard indoor On/Off wall switch. It has a heavy-duty 1800W load capacity while giving you the ability to manage up to 20 different On/Off programs. Being able to schedule on and off times for lights and appliances can greatly reduce the amount of electricity consumption, by limiting the hours a switch can be used. Programs can be set to daily times, to a specific period, or to everyday of the week. Additionally, the switch has a built-in daylight savings function, random function, and a countdown timer feature. There is an LCD display that shows time in 12 hour or in 24 hours format and makes accurate programming easy to do. The large On/Off switch is actually a clever casing that hides all the programming buttons, and if you need to access them the switch simply flips up. This switch is a great choice for replacing any single pole or 3-way application where you want to add a large load, timers, or energy conservation.

Intermatic FD30MC 30-Minute Spring Loaded Wall Timer, Ivory Review

Intermatic FD30MC 30-Minute Spring Loaded Wall Timer, Ivory
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This switch works fine - it's quiet and it's perfect for our bathroom fan that we often would forget to turn off. The only downside is that if you use a ceramic wall plate (or probably any style of wall plate that's thicker than normal), the rotating switch might not stick out far enough. To deal with this you'll need to replace your wallplate with a GFCI-style plate (the type with one large rectangular opening), and you'll need to trim the plastic faceplate included with the switch so that it'll fit. I did this and I'm happy with the results.

Installed GE Model 15086 unit ~ 2 mo ago. Installation & programming easy and unit initially worked well. Immediately found it to be unreliable due to extreme sensitivity (understatement) to lightning which knocked unit off line (blinking display)3 or 4 times. All wiring properly/securely installed. After most recent incident, unit will turn lights on but WILL NOT turn them off. Removing/replacing unit today, hopefully with non-digital (elec motor driven)type.

Average Reviews:

I installed one of these in my laundry room (which is located just inside the garage door in my house). Now, whenever we come home, we don't have the fumble for the light switch. I've also installed one in the room that my wife uses for her office for the same reasons.
This switch comes with three adjustments to customize it to your needs.
First, it has an ambient light adjustment so that you can tell it not to turn on if there is already sufficient light in the room. If you turn this setting all the way up, the switch will become a manual on, auto off switch that will only turn on when you push the button, but will turn off after it senses no motion for a set period of time.
Second, it has a sensitivity adjustment, which adjusts how far the sensor will look for motion.
Third, it has a duration adjustment to tell it how long it should wait with no motion before turning the light off.
It also has a red LED, which blinks whenever it detects motion, so you can tell how whether your movements are being detected or not.

Aube by Honeywell TI071/U Solar Time Table, Programmable Timer Switch, White Review

Aube by Honeywell TI071/U Solar Time Table,  Programmable Timer Switch, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've actually been pretty lucky with the Interlink SS7C timer switch I was using. I had two of the Interlink SS7C timers located in the house and they both lasted quite over three years which apparently is a lot longer than most folks have had success. However, I had one completely die a few months ago and then had the second one display the typical problems with the "No Op" issue. So, time to replace it!
I researched other Interlink switches and also came across this Aube. The other flush mount Interlink switch that could be an option cannot handle CFL bulbs.
Five huge benefits to the Aube TI071/U vs the Interlink SS7C:
1) It is flush with the wall (the Interlink SS7C sticks out a good inch from the wall)
2) It is quiet turning on and off (the Interlink SS7C is very noisy due to the manual motor it has inside)
3) It is back-lit (the Interlink SS7C is not backlit and has a super small display)
4) It does not require batteries (the Interlink SS7C requires a double-A battery and as you will see in various reviews, it has connection problems and causes the switch to fail often)
5) You can have it auto program based on your latitude and longitude.
I am sure there is a 6th benefit in that it is probably a lot more reliable than the Interlink, but I can't say that currently since I've only had it for a few days.
A 7th benefit (compared to the other Interlink switches) is that this switch can handle any type of light bulb.
Well worth getting this switch and avoiding the Interlink switches.
-------
Update: 12/28/09
I still love this switch. It has been very reliable -- no problems so far. I also just love the way it looks and operates. I hate ugly looking devices and this one does not disappoint.
I have it set up in "travel" mode and unlike other switches where it will just randomly turn the lights on and off _once_ during a set time period, this switch will randomly turn the lights on and off multiple times during a set time period. This way it is even harder to tell if someone is home. Just realize that if you use this mode and you are in the room during this time period, the light may turn off while you are in the room. ;-)

This programmable timer switch can help make you feel more secure and can also save you money on energy costs.
The ECONOSWITCH's three modes of operation make it easy to create a customized lighting program that fits your lifestyle. The manual mode operates via a conventional on/off switch.

Additionally, for each day of the week, you can choose sunset/sunrise programming, specific on/off times, or both.

Intermatic EJ500C Indoor Digital Wall Switch Timer Review

Intermatic EJ500C  Indoor Digital Wall Switch Timer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We purchased one of these four years ago to control our entry lights. That was the last time we touched it. The unit asks you to set the turn on - off times, and set the time and date when you install it, then you really don't have to do much else. With the auto adjust feature, it resets for daylight savings time, and one setting will automatically turn the lights on when it's getting close to dusk, then off at your preselected time - nice if you don't want to install a photocell or manually change start times throughout the year.
My only complaint is that the LCD screen is very small, particularly showing day of week, which means when you do decide to change times you'll have to really squint to see what you're doing. But fortunately, for most, this won't be a regular event.

Purchased ST01AC for the porch light and it works great. Instructions are good, easy to install and program. Even comes with a quick program instruction sheet so you can have it working in minutes. I replaced a single pole switch with it but it can be used with a 3 way switch also. Can be set for the new DST and can even be adjusted. i.e.: I set it to come on at Dusk but I advanced the sunset time 15 minuets so it comes on 15 minuets after sunset (saves about 2 hrs. burn time a week) then turn off at a certain time rather than burn all night and turn off at sunrise, which it can also do. Overall a good switch for the money, I would buy another one and I just might for the driveway lights.

Aube by Honeywell TI070-3W/U ECONO Switch Programmable Timer Switch, White Review

Aube by Honeywell TI070-3W/U ECONO Switch Programmable Timer Switch, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The timer works as most people have already discussed in their reviews, and is great because no other timer I have found will control compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL's). However, please be VERY careful wiring it.
A distinction that should be clarified is that this TI070 model must have a load OVER 40 watts in order to function. If you are controlling CFL's (as I am) that is more than 3 bulbs since a 60W incandescent equivalent draws just 13 watts. I actually had to add a fourth bulb to bring the total load from 39 watts to 52 watts (slightly wasteful). However, the TI071 model can handle loads less than 40 watts according to the instructions. But, apparently that model requires a neutral wire, which the TI070 model does NOT.
So, to summarize:
TI070 model: Needs a load of at least 40 watts, does NOT need a neutral wire connection
TI071 model: Can handle a smaller load below 40 watts, DOES need a neutral wire connection
Hope this is helpful!
UPDATE (8/1/10): I also recently bought a TI071 model (for loads below 40 watts) and it also works great. I am very pleased with these products because they can control CFL bulbs, and with our high electric rates here in CA, that is important.

Classic Accents Single Pole Antique Reproduction Push Button Light Switch Review

Classic Accents Single Pole Antique Reproduction Push Button Light Switch

Considering this is one of your only options if replacing a push button switch, it is acceptable. The pearl inlay does not match the original and the sound made when switching has a springy sound that doesn't sound original. That aside, they work fine and are safer than the originals. It's definitely worth purchasing these as replacements rather than installing newer style switches. I use them in my 120 year old house.
