Tools and Hardware Reviews of Aube by Honeywell TI035/U Solar Time Table, Programmable Timer Switch, WhiteCustomer Review: Ditch the Home Depot Intermatic ones, buy this! Summary: 4 Stars
I'd installed three Intermatic solar timers from Home Depot and had to uninstall and throw them all away within a year or two. Unfortunately, the big-box stores only sell the Intermatic ones. Despite the digital display, they have a mechanical movement that always breaks.
The Aube timers are all-electronic. They work and keep on working. The onlky downside I know is that they're a little complicated to set up, but it's worth it for a product that works as advertised, without trouble.
Customer Review: A Real Problem Solver! Summary: 5 Stars
Great item! Solves several issues for me including using compact fluorescent lamps, dealing with power interruptions, and adjusting for changing sunrise/sunset. Also, despite what others have said, this item was very easy to program. How hard can it be to enter a few numbers? Maybe it was the concept of longitude and latitude that confused those that complained. Programming for this product took less than five minutes. If you do not know your long/lat you can get it from MapQuest.
Customer Review: Great timers Summary: 5 Stars
These timers work great and are no harder to install than any other built-in timer would be. Programming is a little difficult, as I don't think the instructions are as clear as they could be, but it only takes a few minutes of careful reading and following instructions to do. The best thing is that since the timer automatically follows the sunset times, you don't need to mess with it very often. So I'm happy. I installed two of these and they work as promised.
Customer Review: Be Careful You Buy the Correct Model Summary: 2 Stars
Be sure to check your wiring before you order this product. I bought this item from Amazon and attempted to install but soon realized I only had a 2-wire connection in the electrical box. This unit has a white, black and blue wire and all three need to be connected per their diagram. You can do an internet search on the model and view installation..once you remove the unit from its plastic packaging Amazon will not accept your return.
Customer Review: Solar Programmable Timer Switch Summary: 4 Stars
I have been looking for a replacement for my flakey X10 system controlling my outdoor lights. These switches do the job, they are easy to program and work well. With this model you will need to make sure you have a neutral wire or white wire you switch box. There is also a model (Aube by Honeywell TI034-3W/U) that doesn't require the neutral but it will not switch as heavy a load and requires a 40 watt minimum load.
