About BN-LINK 7 Day Programmable In-Wall Timer Switch
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
76% liked the compatibility, although 24% had issues
I had to attach the switch's built-in leads to the house wiring using FIVE wire nuts, which made the wiring too bulky for the existing switch box on my garage wall.
I deducted one star due to tedious programming and the other light switch cannot successfully operate the lights if I need to override.
87% appreciated the customization options
The timer comes with all the pegs in the down position, with each peg representing 30 minutes. I need to pull up all other pegs/segments that I want the light off.
74% liked its compact design, but 26% thought it was bulky
The installation instructions may be confusing for someone unfamiliar with electrical wiring.
I faced issues while programming the switch to turn on and off at the defined times, but the instructions were clear.
80% found it easy to program, while 20% faced difficulties
I found it easy to program once I figured it out and love not having to remember to turn on or turn off the exterior lights.
I only need to set one program for everyday of the week at 6pm and off at 11pm, but the options are unlimited.
I was not able to program the timer switch to turn the lights on and off at the programmed time.
68% appreciated the remote control, but 32% faced issues
I used two of these to automate the lighting on my house and they work perfectly. I set them to turn on early evening and off at sunrise.
I love not having to remember to turn on or turn off the exterior lights with the remote control of timer-switches.
For some installations, the device is beneficial as it does not require a neutral wire.
62% praised the safety features
The timer-switch is designed well and has simplified my life. It also helps me to keep my privacy by not revealing when I am at home.
69% praised the accurate timing, but 31% experienced issues
I am frustrated in determining if the product is defective or if the provided instructions are incorrect, which is causing difficulty in programming the timer.
I have noticed that the timer-switch always comes on at 4:30 as I want. However, I faced an issue with the directions for programming, which are in 2 different areas of the multi-folded instruction sheet.
