Three Modes Offer Variety and Security

Save money on your energy bills with the Honeywell 7-Day Solar Time Table Programmable Switch for Lights and Motors. With its three different operating modes, you can customize your system to best suit your lighting needs. The automatic mode turns lights on at sunset and off at sunrise using the solar timetable or you can choose fixed hours to avoid having the lights on all night, while the manual setting lets you use it as a conventional switch. For extra security, the random mode works by turning lights on and off inside the house while you're on vacation. This simulates an active household, discouraging potential break-ins and giving you peace of mind while you're away.

Includes Seven Customizable Programs

The 7-Day Solar Time Table flexible programming allows you to create up to seven programs per week. A single program can apply to one day or the entire week. Whether you want living room lights off during the day, or patio lights on after sunset, Honeywell provides you with numerous customizable options for incandescent, halogen, and fluorescent lighting systems.

A handy manual override allows you to turn the light on or off without affecting the current program. For added convenience, this switch also automatically adjusts for daylight saving time so you don't have to worry about reprogramming.

Activate Lights with Solar Timetable Function

When you enter your home's latitude and longitude, the Solar Time Table switch calculates the sunrise and sunset times for each day of the year. The program automatically turns your lights on and off with the daylight, so you always have light when it's most useful. The switch also gives you the option of adjusting lights up to an hour before actual sunrise or sunset, ideal for places where trees block the majority of natural light.

Slim Design and Simple Installation

Thanks to its compact design, the Solar Time Table Programmable Switch adds a sleek and subtle touch to your room. It measures a slim 2-7/10 by 1-7/10 by 1-7/10 inches (H x W x D) for a flush fit in any standard decorative wallplate. The intuitive three-button interface makes it simple to create your programming schedule, providing a wide screen and backlight for easy viewing day or night. An LED offers you quick confirmation of its on/off status. Its large backlit screen comes with the option to stay lit up on low intensity as a nightlight and turns on its high intensity when you press either of the buttons. It installs easily with its line, neutral and load wire connection.

An Way to Save Money

Because the Solar Time Table works automatically, you can save money on your energy bills with the push of a button. The programming limits unnecessary use of lights, giving you more control over how much electricity you consume. Your household becomes more , and you get longer-lasting lights.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this require a neutral wire? I only have 2 switch wires
Answer:	Yes, a Neutral is required. You must have 3 wires in total. Hot, Neutral, and Load. You CANNOT use a ground as your Neutral. If you are not sure which wire is wich then please consult an electrician. Please be aware that not all switches require a Neutral. Dumb switches only require a Hot and a Load. Years and Years ago they only wired switches with the Hot and Load. It was until around the 70s that the neutral was included at the switch point. Prior it was only located at the load. Load = the device that you want to control with the switch such as a light, motor, etc..
Question:	Can it be used to replace a switch in 3-way switch
Answer:	It can be used to replace a 3-way switch! The other switch becomes unusable is my understanding though. I installed this switch in what was a 3-way configuration using the instructions from this review of this switch: http://www.amazon.com/gp/review/R1CGCNTF3U776D?ref_=glimp_1rv_cl
Question:	I know it can self adjust the time based on coordinates, but can you program it to leave the lights, etc. on for only 2 hours after being turned on
Answer:	Yes, You can program 7 separate on/off times. In my case, I have it scheduled to turn on at sunset and off at sunrise (all week). This is 1 program. I still have 6 programs remaining. So you could schedule random on off times for any day of the week you wish. For instance, on at 8:00pm and off at mid-night (Monday, Tuesday, and Friday). This would be 1-program.
Question:	What happens if the power goes out? Does the timer remember the settings, or does it reset
Answer:	I just spoke with an AUBE tech (owns Honeywell) about this astro timer on 8/07/19. He told me they use a super capacitor now that will hold the time AND program settings for a period of approximately 2 hours during a power outage. After two hours of the power being off, the time of day will need to be reset, but the program should still remain intact.
