Tools and Hardware Reviews of Intermatic EJ500C Indoor Digital Wall Switch Timer
Customer Review: Great timer once you get used to the programming
Summary: 5 Stars
This timer works great once you have set up time, and on/off schedule.
I have it replace a basic switch with 2 wires, and it only took about 2 minutes to swap it out. It did take a while to figure out the programming at first, but it's a breeze now.
Once you set it to manual mode, it turns back into switch mode. Just put the big button to turn things on and off.
Customer Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this product! Easy to install, pretty easy to program (directions are good), and really easy to use! Love the flush mount. It also has an "auto-rand" program where you can program in your times for the lights to go on/off and then it will turn them on/off randomly within +/- 20 minutes so that it looks like someone is home because your lights don't go on/off at exactly the same time every day. So program it & forget it!Customer Review: Hint/Warning for fluorescnet applications
Summary: 5 Stars
The way this (and the GE model I've used) work, they will NOT operate in a strictly fluorescent application. If however, you're turning on a light that has two bulbs, or has a whole row of bulbs (porch), you can use this. For a single fixture with two bulbs, the mix of fluorescent and incandescent is handy since one puts out lots of light if you turn it on in the dark, as we might do very late at night after the timer has shut it off. The key however is, you must have one incandescent bulb in the circuit. The reason is rather ingenious. They "trickle" electricity thru the incandescent bulb to complete the circuit that runs the timer. Since some switches and 3-ways don't even have the other leg available at the switch, this is slick.
The form factor on this one (industrial design) is way better than the GE one. We run ours for a few hours in the evening, one in the morning, and it works great for us.
Customer Review: Hours, yes hours to program...
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a real piece of junk. First, I spent several hours attempting to program it. One of the difficulties is the LCD screen is damn near impossible to read particularly if the timer is in the wall at light switch level. Then, you'll need to bend over and have a bright light source. Second,the programming buttons are so small I had to use a stylus. Finally, if there was an easy way to override the program in an emergency, I didn't find it mentioned in the instructions.Customer Review: I love this product
Summary: 5 Stars
The installation instructions were easy to understand, and went smoothly and quickly. This product controls my front porch light in a way I've wanted and needed to for years, and works perfectly.
