Can it be used manually, I have seizures and want something that turns electric appliances off automatically after a specified time.

It has options to turn off and on.. I have my light come on at dust and shut off at midnight .. I also believe it has more than on option for times. you would need to plug into the device itself

I work in a lab and we bought it to set our coffee pot off at a certain time and never used it as it because we found it very inconvenient to operate.

This timer is designed to work by time of day, not by a specified amount of time. You would always have to set it to go off at a certain time of day base on the current time when you started using it. It would work, but I don't think this I what you want.

I don't think it works like that, if I'm reading you right - like a timer you set to turn off. It goes by an internal clock you set ahead of time where you set the "on" time and "off" time for each event. I suppose you could set the timer right up until the moment you need it to turn on (maybe a few minutes leeway), but again, you'd have to program it to turn off also at a specific time. Hope that helps.

I use this switch for a bathroom fan that acts as my home's fresh air turnover. Since I improved my home's air tightness, I have to cycle the fan periodically throughout the day. I have a program set that runs it about 1/2 an hour, four or five times a day (I believe there are 50 programmable points throughout any given day). What I've noticed, though, is that if you click the switch to manually override it (turning off when it's on, or on when it's off), it switches to manual mode indefinitely. You would not have it automatically switch back to auto mode after 24hrs. But with the extreme flexibility in programming you should be able to set it up to suit your needs. If you wanted to run a solid 24hrs every other day you could do that. But I don't believe that there's a way to jump back to the other mode (auto) once you're in one already (manual). BUT...I could be wrong!! It would be a good idea to search the Leviton site for the manual on this model and investigate the manual/auto switching. Cheers! -Tim

Yes, it does turn off automatically after a few minutes. But don't forget to put your milk back in the fridge!

No. It is set up to go on and off at pre-programmed times. There is another product that shuts off power after a fixed time.

Possibly, but it would depend entirely on the control circuitry of the fire place. You'd need to be able to use the timer to interrupt the circuit at a point where it won't interfere with the control settings. That could be simple, or it could be a real pain or even unfeasible. As an example, if the fireplace is controlled by a circuit board, it's very possible the board will default to the "off" setting every time the timer cuts power to it, so you'd still need to manually activate it every time you turn on the timer.

Yes you can still manually turn off your lamp or accessory. The remote is just very convenient in dark areas that you can turn items off once you are in a safely lite area. The remote works through walls even.

Yes. It turns off the power from the outlet to whatever you plug into it ( appliance, light, etc). For safety I would never trust anything that turns on / shuts off a heating applicance automatically. A tv is safe.

I use auto. Might as well let it figure when it needs power. No sense leaving it on 24/7.

If you have a pretty regular schedule, (9-5 job, don't usually wake up in the middle of the night, etc) you might be able to put it on a timer (preferably a 7 day timer) and program when you may need a warm seat. Also, most timers have a manual override for those unexpected occurrences. I don't have mine yet, but it looks like the controller is a manual, switch style that remembers where it was set when power is removed.

There is an option to set the machine to shut off after a certain amount of time. You must manually activate it every time you turn the device on. It's like the sleep function on your TV.

Unfortunately not. You have to do it manually. However, it is very safe. First night I got it I ended up falling asleep with fireplace on for entire night. Carpet, wall, and furniture around it were not even warm to touch while room was toasty. It has 2 different temperature settings, 750 and 1500 watts.

If you're not worried about the "safety" aspect, I've plugged mine into the same kind of timer I use for the lights when I'm on vacation. However, mine is really old, so I don't know if the electronic timer ones will go on for a pre-specified time at a pre-specified setting or if you have to set that info at the moment you power it on.

No. It will power down every time in 90 sec. automatically.It works great for me

Yes. I know that if you have avower failure and the time is screwed up it shuts down after 1 hour. If you have the time set it's longer, but it does shut off automatically.

You can manually to turn it on/off or set the machine running by Motion detecting function.But the time of Motion detecting function will not be long.thanks.

I am not sure why you would want to disable it, but you can disable it, sort of... There is a software parameter, length of time after the power fails before an alert goes out, that can be set to the maximum. That is to say, you can set it to call you after the power has only been out for one minute -- or you can set it to several hours before it calls you. By setting it to several hours (cannot recall what the maximum is), you can make calls due to power loss much less likely. But I do not think you can totally disable it.

You have to preset times you want something to turn on or off.Won't turn on automatically in 24 hours if someone shuts off.
