Does this unit come with a box? What prevents someone from messing with your timer if it is not in the back yard?

No, you get only what you see. No box nor any way to secure it. Mine is mounted inside my garage, but I'd be a little concerned if it was outdoors and subject to the rain that would easily get into the circuit board and, I suspect, limit its life.

This unit is an INDOOR unit and is placed in your garage or inside storage area. There is no weather protection on the case.

My unit did not come with a box, however; I have it in the garage so it did not make any difference. I don't see any difficulty in putting it in a box that you can get at any hardware outlet.

This unit is designed for use in protected areas out of the weather such as inside a garage. No security provisions are provided. Aside from that, this unit is very easy to program and operate.

Unit is not built to be placed outside but rather in a garage or someplace indoor. Placing it high enough away from kids should be fine, I wouldn't imagine adults changing your sprinkler settings.

No there is not box. If you are concerned about someone changing your timer you will need to get a lock box for the unit.

No, it will only set up an alarm in the control box or a bell wired to the box. It's a basic no frills alarm. I have mine about 175 or so ft from my house. Put it in a Electrical Junction box with a 2" pipe it focus's through to reduce the area size it will pick up to about a 1' diameter area 32" off of the ground. It only covers my driveway and walk-thru gates without picking up any dogs, etc.

You don't need a project box. You do need to keep in mind you have hot wires exposed on the back of the unit (fire/safety concerns, etc.) However the unit is designed to fit into a electrical box along side a residential construction electrical wall switch and wall receptacle; these are available at hardware stores.

None. the box is mounted on the outside of the house, on a brick wall. Works great.

Unfortunately it does not. It has three outlets: two operate on the timer (both the same) and one is not timed. Having said that, it is a great timer - easy to set up and dependable.

Hi, If you place the sensor outside, I imagine someone could steal it. We use our's inside as a door chime, the chime goes off when someone enters a door.

No, it's a box that you have to install. You have to put in the breakers, secure the box and wire the box.

There are no cords. it has male prongs coming straight off the back, and you plug it into an extension cord or power outlet, and your device plugs directly to the front of the timer (as shown in picture).

It does come in a box, but after you take it out of the box it is no longer protected by being in the box.

There is a little 3x3 inch black box(the Receiver)...push-button to select channel and LED, then the RCA plugs in the back, plus a little plastic antenna...this thing works great, gives me a little piece of mind, as the neighborhood is quite dangerous....

yes , it comes in a box but doesn't have a user manual. It's not too hard to use.... if you're familiar with this type. Even if you aren't , it's still not too complicated.

Yes, just one timer, but it's the best timer I've ever owned. I can hear it no matter where in the house I am.

Yes, it comes in two boxes. One has the pole. The other has the top and bottom square, etc. Everything you need to set it up. It is the BEST helper of anything I've gotten for Daddy. When we get in/out of the car I wish I had a portable one in the garage!! It gives him complete confidence and all the leverage he needs to stand up as he's done for 96 1/2 years. You won't be sorry.

The black box can be hidden anywhere inside the dash. The unit doesn't need to be access for device pairing or anything beyond it the initial configuration. I have mine mounted with double sided tape behind the HVAC controls.

I did not need one. My problem with the timer was that it did not work, so I trashed it. Unfortunately, I had failed to keep the box it came in and my receipt, so I couldn't return it, yet I'd be thrilled if Amazon sends me a refund anyway. Later, I found one that does work. It's made by GE, and I bought it at Target.

I don't know about with a timer as I haven't used one, but the unit itself can be left unattended. That is its purpose. We have enjoyed great success with using it in our pump house unattended this winter.

It does not have a timer but you can buy a plug-in timer for less than $20 which will accomplish what you are trying to do.
