I don't want this to turn on everyday or at each dusk/dawn. Can it be used when I want as a countdown timer only?

The on and off feature on the remote was all we used to control Christmas lights on our front porch without going outside. Didn't use any of the other features.

Maybe. One of the nicest features of this timer is that it comes preprogrammed out of the box to go on at sunset and off at 11pm(?). I found that cycle perfect so didn't need to program. Assume if the power goes out the default setting will always be there but not sure if you were to change the default. My guess would be yes based on experience with other similar ones but not sure.

This one has an on off and auto switch. It doesn't have a specific day/night function.

this is a one shot timer,it would have to be reset after every use,you need a programable timer like those sold at walmart for christmas lights.

No, I don't believe it can be used for dusk to dawn lighting. Mine only comes on when motion is detected.

The reason is I work around the clock so a steady program doesn't work for me. I just want to turn it on when I want it on and turn it off when I don't. I don't want it to come on when I'm not home.

There is no timer that I know about. This is a motion detector light. Mine is in a stairwell which is a little dark even during the day so with motion is goes on. I do not know if it will turn on during daylight hours, probably not. I really like this light.

I have mine on a timer, not dusk to dawn, so I really can't comment on that. My setting is on AUTO.

No, you can only use it to set the number of hours it should stay on before turning itself off.

Yes. It can turn lights on and off at dusk and dawn. It uses an odd setup that turns any device that is set at unit code +1 on and off according to daylight - so if you do not want this feature, you will need to avoid setting any device at the trigger code +1. It can also be set to only sense motion after dark and not respond during daylight. It's a major pain to setup, but does what it says at an incredible price.

Can set it for amount of time but not set a specific time.... Not a clock but only a timer.

I have never used it for that reason but the instruction book says you can set the device to operate at various times of the day and random time periods to avoid predictability. So I would say the answer is "yes."

There is a little dial on the sensor for adjustment. I believe it can be run dusk till dawn.

No you can't! It can be set to time start@end with a maual on off switch it can't be set by day. Hope this helps.

It has an on off switch. It's not on a timer. We have a separate dawn light. Not apparent to me how you would combine it.

Yes, if it's programmed to turn on every 24 hours you can manually turn it off when it is on with the button and not change the daily "on" time for the next cycle.

Yes, that's correct. I think the amount of time that it stays off is programmable. This is quite a nice switch although I haven't figured out how to "train" it to only come on when it's dark. I haven't really taken the time to work with it. The support folks are very helpful and friendly.
