Outdoor Time and Day Activated Switches

Seven-Day Timing Cycle

Designed to work with landscape lighting and filter pumps, these switches turn equipment on and off at a set time and day. They control two devices at once, and have three-prong outlets to plug devices directly into the switch. All have an override to bypass the programmed on/off settings.

Seven-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week. They have astronomical timing that can be set to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset.

Set-to-the-Minute High-Current
Time and Day Activated Switches

For precise control of high-current equipment such as landscape lighting, pumps, and heaters, these switches schedule on/off times to the exact minute. The seven-day timing cycle can perform a different program each day of the week. All have a day skipper that can suspend operation for one to six days. A backup battery maintains the program during a power outage.

Two-circuit switches can apply a different program to each circuit.

Switches with battery backup cannot be sold in California.

Smartphone-Programmable Time
and Day Activated Switches

Remotely program these switches via bluetooth signal with a smartphone, tablet, or PC to turn a device on and off at a set time and day. They’re often used with lighting, pumps, and filters. All have a 24-hour/seven-day/365-day timing cycle that can repeat the same program daily or perform a different program each day of the week or year. They compensate for leap year and daylight savings time. A PIN code is required to prevent unauthorized tampering with settings. All have an override to bypass the programmed on/off settings.

Two-circuit switches can apply a different program to each circuit. They have astronomical timing that can be set to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset.
