Tools and Hardware Reviews of Aube by Honeywell TI070-3W/U ECONO Switch Programmable Timer Switch, White
Customer Review: Pretty cool...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this timer switch to control two 26 watt florescent lights (connected to the same switch) on my back porch. I was getting tired of having to manually turn them on at night and then remembering to turn them off in the morning (which I would sometimes forget so they'd be on all day!).
I've changed light switches/outlets before but am by no means an experienced electrician and I was able to handle this installation. Please remember to cut the power at the circuit breaker first!! Here was my scenario; the existing switch only had 2 black wires connected. With a little help from my electrician friend I was able to identify which wire was the Load and which was the Line. After that, installation went smoothly. I connected the Load from the house to the Load on the switch then connected the Line from the house to the Line & 3-Way wire on the switch (since mine was a single pole installation, their instructions said to do this). I simply capped the Green wire on the switch. Before shoving the switch back into the wall, I flipped the power back on at the breaker. I made sure that the unit was powered on as expected and there were no fires. Since everything looked good, I cut the power again, pushed the wires into the wall and screwed in the switch & plate. I powered back up and began programming.
The programming took me about 20 minutes to complete. Most of the options are pretty easy... backlighting, time/date, latitude, longitude, etc... The part that took the longest was the Automatic time table programming. I decided to go with the Automatic option since I could program exactly what time I want the lights to turn on/off every day of the week. I didn't want the lights to turn on/off at the same time every day since that would suggest to potential burglars that the lights were on a timer. Instead I programmed the lights to turn on between 8pm and 9pm, and turn off between 6am and 7am. For example, Monday the lights will turn on at 8:06pm and turn off Tuesday at 6:22am. Tuesday the lights will turn on at 8:32pm and turn off Wednesday at 6:05am, etc... I thought of using the Random option but it seems weird to have my porch lights turn on and off multiple times during a specific timeframe, I think that option is more for inside lights where you'd be flipping the lights on/off throughout the day to give the appearance of the house being occupied. Anyway, there was a learning curve but after a few minutes of messing around with it you will understand the menus and can easily program whatever you want.
Last night was the first `test' and it worked perfectly. This morning the lights turned off exactly on schedule. So far so good! It's a cool little unit. I'm already planning to get one for my front porch lights. I will add a follow-up review after a few weeks of use.
**Product update 8/30/10: Still love the TI070 switch!! Works perfectly and confirmed that the settings are maintained through a power outage! I also bought/installed the TI071 model switch in another location where I had only 39 watts. This switch was just as easy to install and program. However, I did notice that the TI071 model makes a 'click' noise when the lights are turned on/off, this does not happen with my TI070 switch. Oh well, it's not a big issue jut something I noticed. I've been recommending these products to everyone I know. Love 'em!

 Save money by ensuring your lights come on only when you need them. |
Whether you want your outdoor floodlights to come on once the sun goes down, or your indoor lights to randomly turn on and off when you're away from home, the ECONOSWITCH is a great way to gain peace of mind. This programmable timer switch can help make you feel more secure and can also save you money on energy costs.
The ECONOSWITCH'S three modes of operation make it easy to create a customized lighting program that fits your lifestyle. The manual mode operates via a conventional on/off switch. The automatic mode turns lights on/off at sunset and sunrise, or on at sunset and off at your own programmed time--this mode also adjusts for daylight saving. You can also choose vacation mode, which randomly activates your lights to simulate a presence when you're away from home.
Fast Installation and Easy Programming
Thanks to clear instructions and labeled wires, the ECONOSWITCH is quick and easy to install and program. The intuitive three-button interface makes it simple to create up to seven programs per week--the programs can apply to a single day or the entire week via a single-pole (two-wire) or multi-switch (three-way) connection (500-watt maximum and 40-watt minimum). Additionally, for each day of the week, you can choose sunset/sunrise programming, specific on/off times, or both.
And when the seasons change, you can count on your lights turning on only when outside conditions warrant--automatic daylight saving updates mean you don't have to reprogram.
Versatile Unit Features Backlit Display and LED
Designed for versatility, the ECONOSWITCH works with incandescent, halogen, and fluorescent lighting (compatible with electronic ballasts). For further convenience, a large, white backlit display includes a night light mode for easy reading in dark areas. There's also a confirmation LED for at-a-glance load status (on or off).
Dimensions and Warranty Information
SA and UL certified, with a sleek design that fits flush against a standard wall plate (not included), the ECONOSWITCH measures a compact 1.7 by 2.7 by 1.7 inches (W x H x D).
The Aube by Honeywell TI070-3W ECONOSWITCH Seven-Day Solar Programmable Wall Switch is backed by a three-year warranty.
