What does the Yomtov switch do, exactly? I don't want a cultural answer, I need an electrical answer. ;-)

I can't explain what the Yomtov switch is used for. I do know the product works just fine for making hot water with the Yomtov switch off. View the manual online to answer all your questions. It will also tell you exactly how hot the water gets. The stainless steel is very shiny and we love this product. Our last hot water urn we purchased was made by Regalware and lasted 10 years. We used that product 5 nights a week. Time will tell how long this product lasts in comparison.

It prevents the urn from reboiling the water. When the Yomtov switch is "Off" then adding water will reset the heating element to the highest temp level to heat the water quickly. When it is "on" the heating element remains the same temperature, so adding water will take a while to reheat.

So, from what I understand, it keeps the water at a hot temperature, versus the regular switch will continue to boil until water eventually evaporates.

While it is supposed to prevent the urn from switching to reboil when water is added, in fact all it does is lock the green "ready" indicator light on and the red "boiling" indicator off, regardless of what the urn is actually doing.As a result, most people who would by this for use on Yomtov in fact can't use it for such.

Dunno. This I do know...we've established a system using a mixture of GE and Leviton components and driven by a Leviton controller/timer without a hitch. Awkward to program, but it's been operating for more than 6 months w/o missing an event. Z-Wave is pricey; it's also reliable.

thanks for the dimmer switch tip. I read several posts from people complaining about overheating yogurt makers, so this is something worth trying while I am trying out the Yogourmet Multi that I bought today.

In my experience, this device emulates a keyboard. It's not a IR relay or anything like that. It simply translates a IR signal into a specific keyboard character that a PC could take action on. Not sure it would be appropriate for the applications you are referring to.

You could try Witch Craft or perhaps you would be interested in buying one of my Nuclear Detonation Devices that will power up the mouse. Gezzus. Do you really think electrical power is something that just Happens ?? Some of the questions I read are amazing.

I'd like to note that this can actually be a feature!! In fact - I am specifically looking for a hdmi switch that DOES NOT auto sense. Can be very useful when switch is hooked up to 2 computers and turning computers on/off.

Haven't observed this, but I will watch for it. A VOM should verify that the switch in off position completely opens the circuit. Have you queried Leviton?

I suppose its based on your controller. In my case, you can set conditions and events. So if a condition is met, the switch can be triggered and then immediately be un-triggered making it "momentary". It is not as fast as a button press, but it is pretty quick (5 seconds or less).

I returned that fan as soon as I got it. It wasn't what I expected at all. Sorry, I know nothing about the switch. It was a long time ago, but if I recall, it was most likely an electronic switch. It was not the best quality fan, somewhat bigger and not very powerful, if I am remembering correctly.

Not automatic; there's a little switch accessible from the bottom, that you'd use a small slotted screwdriver (or maybe a tiny key?) to move to either voltage. It's small--wear your glasses, if you have 'em. For myself, I'm glad it is a bit of a bother to do it, since I don't want it to un-adjust by accident. My guess is an auto-adjust feature, in addition to being risky to depend on at odd times, would raise the price above what I'd prefer to pay. Hope this helps your decision.

I had to start scratching my head, what battery? and then I thought you must mean in the battery in the hand control, which to be honest I have never used, but it is a coin battery. Apart from that, this HDMI switch has nearly put me in a mental home, just doesn't work for me. Good luck.

The switch behaves like a normal light switch; there is an on postiion and an off. The computer control portion of it works independently of what the switch has be set to "locally." In other words, it doesn't matter what the switch is set to locally it can be remotely controlled to do anything you like.

Hmm, I found this while running a search for dimmer switches! I'm curious if anyone knows if there is a similar switch made that also has a dimmer option included? I wasn't looking for something like this initially but love the idea!!

When testing polarized parts, such as a diode. It should only allow current in one direction. When you try to push current through it in the wrong direction it will read .0L, because it wont let anything through. I had to check diodes for a power supply. When I connected it in the correct direction, it read .5, but in the wrong direction, .0L.

This is NOT a momentary switch. Therefore, when you actuate it to off it stays there, when you actuate it to on, it stays there. With two "on" positions I use it as a reversing switch for a stepping motor. Then I can run it forward or reverse or off.

Thanks for answer - and for person who asked question.We wondered what that wire was for also. It's not listed anywhere in the instruction manual.

I just want to add onto what Energy Guy said. Yes. Flipping the switch for 3 seconds will leave the light on. The only interesting thing is, when you wait 3 seconds and flip the switch again the light comes back on even without motion. I thought I was going to have to wait till the morning till it reset itself, but, after about 5 minutes of a constant on, it reset back to motion.
