can you use this timer to just turn on every 24 hours. so if you have a device that a user shuts off manually it will only be off for a max of 24 hrs?

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

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.

I'll share how we use ours, and perhaps that will help you. The can lights on our porch are on a photocell so they come on when it gets dark outside and turn off in the morning when it gets light. The electrician wired it with a switch inside so we could turn them off if desired. We put this timer in place of the switch and programmed the timer to turn the lights off at 10:30 pm and turn them back on at 5:30 am. It works beautifully. It overrides the photocell during the night, and then the lights turn off when the photocell recognizes enough daylight. Some nights we manually turn the lights off with the switch. The lights always turn on at 5:30 in the morning as programmed. I'll share how we use ours, and perhaps that will help you.

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.

You can set it for how many hours you want it on, but will still go on and off with the sensor. Great little timer.

It appears to be a continuous 24 timer. You can turn in on for 14 and off for 10, but then it will go back on again.

It has to be reset every time you use it. It counts down to zero from wherever you set it. If you set it for 20 minutes it shuts off after twenty minutes. It's a great little timer for the price! I have had mine for 3 years and they're still working perfectly. I take them inside for the winter.

No, if you disconnect power you must manually turn it on. Cannot use it with an external timer.

No. It's that timer to set device on and off at specific time. Like turn on at 08:00 AM and off at 10:00 PM. Ok?

Yes I able to set the timer to go on at 7PM and turn off at 11PM for 7 days a week without much difficulty. Did have to follow the direction and do it several times but is working well. I like it!!!!!

If you mean that you want to plug a device with a battery into it at an arbitrary time (i.e., a different time each day) and have it automatically shut off after 45 minutes, then no, it won't do that.However, if you mean that you want to plug something into it at night, for example, and let the unit charge it for exactly 45 minutes overnight, then yes -- you could program it to do something like turn on at midnight and then turn off again at 12:45.

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.

Yes you can by taking advantage of the fact that the device actually has 4 individual timers. You would set timer 1 at 4 hours, timer 2 at 8 hours, and timer 3 at 12 hours.

yes. example, my settings were: Mon-Thur, Off 3am-6pm. On 6pm-3am/ Fri, Off 3am-Sat 7am On 7am-7pm/ Off Sat 7pm-Sun 7am On 7am-3pm. Very programmable for each of seven days. My opinion though is the more it turns on and off, the shorter the life of the unit.

Yes! Set it for 1 min. When it goes off, it automatically resets back to 1 min.

nope, no timer function. you'd have to manually change its mode each night.

I have never seen a timer that can be set for more than 6 or 7 hours. Sorry.

It's a 24 hour timer....I don't see why it can't be set for up to 23 hours and 50 minutes. I really like this timer. It's small and easy to set.

There's no problem with running the device 24/7. I've done it for about a month and have had no problems. Just set your monitor to sleep when you're not using the computer.
