BN-LINK Timer Outlet Short Period Repeat Cycle Intermittent Digital Timer, Interval Timer - Day, Night, or 24 Hour Operation, Programmable Plug-in Timer for Appliances Electrical Outlets 15A/1875W

This is the second one i bought. It works better than the $100 timers. I use it in my grow room to turn the circulation fan on when the light turn off.

Works great. I use it on a peppermint sprayer set to go off every 12hours. helps to keep the mice away.

We have in-line hot water circulator at our house. It works great but I can't keep it on more than 5min at a time. Anything longer causes cold-water line to carry hot water as well. So, I had attached it to a manual timer. Before taking a shower, I press the timer button turn it on, 5m minutes later, time is up. This was good. However, the hot-water line gets cold for other times and I again need to activate the timer. This us frustrating to say the least. Then I came across this unit. I set it as 2 minutes on, 15 minutes off. I can see what the timer is doing at any time, day or night. Now we have continuous hot water and cold water stays cold. The timer is easy to set or reset. As the weather conditions change, I can set it to a different on/off combination.It's not cheap but I like it so much that I ordered another one for other uses around the house, expected to be delivered today!

I wanted this to reboot my Internet in the middle of the night every few days or every day. The options are great but getting it to work on a 24-hour schedule or 48-hour schedule required me to be up at 4 am to set it up correctly. If there was an easier way it was difficult for me to figure out. I ended up buying a smart plug that let me do it from a phone app. This thing works if you have the patience but the smart plug is actually cheaper. I am not going to throw it away for a few years just in case I find a need for it but if it sits a couple years unused it is going in the trash.

Great timer! Holds settings when power is out. When power returns, it will restart in the on position.

I'm using it to time the on and off on the water fountain cat water dispenser. I started to read the instructions and just gave up and figured it out myself. It's very easy to use the settings. I like that you can set it right down to the seconds if necessary.

2024-02-06Overall a very decent & functional unit at a reasonable, though not excellent, price. I've had it only a few days. I will update this review in coming months & years.My application for this interval timer switch is to run a small 50W table fan + 10W ozone generator for 10 seconds or so every 10 minutes when wildfire smoke degrades indoor air quality severely.The unit is not listed with UL, CE, or any other reglatory agency, judging by the lack of stamps, insignia, etc.I was pleased to see that the relay inside is appropriately over-sized, with a rating of 40A at 250VAC, that allows plenty of comfort zone to run moderate-size loads such as blowers, fans, lights. Also very encouraged to see a suitably beefy-looking R/C snubber circuit on the back (with the relay) to help suppress relay-open arcing & increase relay life.Typical minimum electrical life of the relay contacts is at least 10^5 (100,000) cycles, with a minimum mechanical life of 10^7 (1 million) cycles. Ususally it's the electrical contacts that give out first, at least if there is much current going through them.So, I believe the expected lifetime of this unit will vary greatly, mostly depending on how hard people use it. If you are switching a 1500W heating coil or large fan every 5 minutes, that's 300 cycles a day at high load and the relay might fail in just 4 or 5 weeks.If you're just switching a 25W LED light bulb 4 times a day, the relay might last for decades.Safety notes: there's no fuse in the unit. It is also quite possible that when the relay fails, it will "fail closed," powering the circuit indefinitely (like a light switch turned on,) which could be a serious fire/safety hazard depending on your application.
