About EATON PT18M-W-K Accell Core Programmable Timer
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
91% liked the compatibility, although 9% had issues
I found that the switch does not require a neutral wire, but if you have one, the fourth wire is for it. I was initially unsure of what to do with it, but eventually figured it out.
If the ground is not connected, the timer switch will not work and it will be always on without any way to control it.
The switch must be perfectly flush with the faceplate, otherwise the buttons will stick or not work.
76% appreciated the customization options, although 24% didn't
I could not find a matte black option and had to find rocker switches that match, which shows that I had to customize the timer switch myself.
93% liked its compact design, but 7% thought it was bulky
The switch needs to be perfectly flush with the face plate, otherwise the buttons will stick or not work at all. Additionally, the front of the switch seems to shift with pressure, which appears to be a design flaw.
It's difficult to turn on the timer-switch in the dark. The only visible button is the off button, which doesn't turn on the light. It's also challenging to land squarely on one of the preset buttons to turn on.
83% found it easy to program, while 17% faced difficulties
The timer switch is easy to use with separate buttons for timer delay functions from 5 minutes to 60 minutes.
The timer buttons are of a reasonable size, making it easy to choose the desired timer setting.
The switch operates perfectly fine without causing any issues with the fan, such as making it run slow or continually run on low.
I prefer to keep the original settings on the buttons as they match the indicated time, although they are programmable as mentioned.
84% appreciated the remote control, but 16% faced issues
The timer wall switch works perfectly to control my bathroom ceiling exhaust fan.
This timer switch will not work without a ground connection. It will be always on without any way to control it.
The fans always get left on and it sucks all the heat out of the house.
It's difficult to turn on the switch in the dark. The only visible button at night is the off button, which doesn't turn on the light. It's also hard to land squarely on one of the preset buttons to turn on the switch.
75% praised the safety features
The timer is easy to install, reliable, and has the right options without any override.
88% praised the accurate timing, but 12% experienced issues
This timer works great with two timing options, a 60-minute timer and a 4-hour timer.
The timer has been installed for 2 years and the only issue is that the 60 minute just recently began blinking and changing to 30 immediately after setting the time.
