Will this heater work with a LUX programmable outlet? I'd like to only be on in my room from 3 am to 6 am on work days.

I would think if your outlet is the item that's programmable, that it should, but I can't say for sure. I do know that the item itself can be set to turn on only when it gets a certain temp, much like a thermostat. Not sure if that helps

I don't think so because it has a digital readout. Only if it has an on off switch can you program it with a timer. I haven't tried it with the Lasko, but we have an upright heater that has the same kind of set up and we can't use a timer on that. Too bad, as we'd like to have ours come on before we get up as well.

No. Once the unit is turn off, it will not turn on with out pushing the power button on the "key pad" or remote. If you unplug it for example, while it's on, when you plug it back in it needs to be physically turned on with the power button.

This will work with any heat only application, so should be fine as long as the electric is setup for single in-line power. Keep in mind the thermostat is battery powered, so you'll need to keep that replaced. I have this in our camper and it's about 3 feet from me. I can't say that I hear the on/off solenoid. So, however loud it is, it's not enough to wake me up.

this heater uses 110 volt outlet. It's no different then plugging in any other appliance. So I wouldn't think you would have to have an electrician look at it unless you have old wiring or something that you're worried about. For peace of mind I was just plug it into a breaker bar just to be safe.

yes. it has 3 options: low heat, medium heat, and full power (low + medium on), and a mechanical thermostat. so, if you put it on a timer when turned on, it should work. one important thing to watch out for, though- heaters use a lot of power, so you'd want a timer that can handle that kind of service load. i think most timers are designed for lights and other low power loads.

I have used it by wiring in a water heater timer it works great shuts off completely when I don't want it heating and timer powers it up 1/2 hour before I want the area warmed up then the thermostat on the unit keeps it consistent from there until I have the timer set to de-energize that circuit.

BTW, Amazon says it is frequently sold with Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat

Probably not. The Lux is strictly low voltage--uses two AA batteries (3 volts DC), and only two wires. Your Automag with three wires likely uses 24 volts AC (from a doorbell transformer), and the relay switch in your furnace likely needs 24 volts to operate.

Yes it says so in owners manual. I was worried about that as well. As it comes out though that is very pragmatic. Your home heats a large volume of air. That takes time. I turn down heat at night by 5 to 7 degrees from what is comfortable enough. So that works out to 2 degrees + 2 degrees 20 minutes later. Programmables presume a given temperature at a given time. Here I set it by need. This is not a programmable thermostat. It is an easy to read & set digital however. Neural damage makes me wobbly. This works out in the real world.

No, this is not a programmable unit. This model has 3 settings - High, Low and Warm. The settings must be selected manually and the unit will remain on until you turn it off.

I've used X-10 appliance modules with 1500 watt space heaters for over 20 years but only for the 15 minutes I am in the bathroom in the morning. It's not really rated to handle that load so I wouldn't operate one unattended. And there's another rub. Space heaters have thermostats and the cycling of those thermostats will make an appliance module turn on without a command from you. To disable that problem, you must open the module and defeat local control (cut a jumper). If you aren't electronics savvy, you should not use this module for a space heater.

I believe you will need an additonal switch. On this unit, there is a switch that I used to control the light. Then there is the automatic/manual switch used to control the vent fan. I don't have a nightlight, but I use a seperate timer switch to control the heater built into my vent/light/heat unit.B. Wood

Yes.The timer allows you to set up to 7 different programs, you select which day(s) of the week will be included in each program.I have two programs running: 1) Monday to Friday OFF from noon to 6PM (side result: heater is ON from Friday 6PM to Monday noon). 2) Every day ON at 5AM, and every day OFF at 11PM, this means that the heater is off every night from 11PM to 5AM.

If you're only controlling heater, then use a 2 wire heat only unit like this one:Heat Only Digital Non-Programmable Thermostat

I looked through my info on the LUXTX500E and found that "it is for use" on 2 Wire Heat Only Hydronic Systems (Hot Water Baseboard & Radiator). You can also get more info on www.luxproducts.com or call technical assistance 856-234-8803

You sure could do that. Just set it to your choice of fan speed, heat setting, etc. with the outlet timer ON, leave the heater at that desired settings, timer goes OFF so does the heater and then it will come to life when the timer energizes the heater. Guess the only issue would be if your timer has the appropriate rating to operate the heater.

As long as the toggle switch can handle the amperage of your wall heater and as long as that toggle switch is as easy to flip as your average light switch I don't see why not. But I think I'd want something more dependable than this timer especially if a fire could result if the timer stopped working.

I usually don't leave any space heater on overnight or when I am not there. With it being electric I am sure it wouldn't be a problem, but I'd rathe be safe than sorry. I have had it on all day while there, and it seems to do just fine. No issues.
