I was hesitant to purchase this based on some of the reviews, especially the fact that it losses connection. I have used this for about a month and it has performed flawlessly. I use one with my 1500 Watt heater and a lamp.

The application is very simple and works great with a countdown either turn the unit on or off. At $10 less expensive then similar devices it is a fantastic bargain.

Love the simplicity of using this timer.  So simple and easy to use.  (The instructions warn to shut off after each use, but we leave it on all the time with no ill effects after several weeks of use.)

I paired this with the IEIK UNO Arduino board and a photocell to make a light exposure logger for sensitive houseplants.  Using the Adafruit online tutorial on this shield, setup and programming was simple and fast.  The real time clock is a very nice feature for tracking the sensor output over long periods time.

This detector is one of the easiest to setup and use straight out of the box.
It is easy to see and read the main menu, adjustment of the sensitivity setting on the unit is a breeze, this is very helpfull for repeatability.

I have tried it in all modes and it works just as well in one as it does the other.
The unit can be triggered in the sound mode with a clap of the hands from across the room. For the Laser trigger mode I purchased a cheap laser pen.
The DIY mode requires a simple open close connection,Timelapse and HDR modes are very nice features and easy to use.

It is small and compact in size, easy to find a place in the camera bag for it.
It can be detached from the camera for use, or it can be mounted to the hot shoe of the camera, in both cases the trigger cable is needed.
A quality piece of equipment.

The Coolwest motion sensor is an excellent device designed to deliver voltage when motion is detected and extinguish that voltage when motion has ceased after a defined duration of time.  The application of voltage can be controlled by adjusting the light sensitivity of the device.  When it detects a defined level of darkness, the sensor passes voltage to control a device, such as a light.

Our use of this device was to control an LED light placed at the bottom of our stairs in the lower level of our home.  If we put a light switch at the bottom of the stairs, how do we turn it off at the top of the stairs?  Our home lacks the wiring to do this.  This motion sensor was the perfect solution to this problem, and after installation, I'm happy to report that it functions excellently.

The sensor is actually larger than I expected, based on the picture.  There's no way to judge the actual size in the picture.  Converting the metric size shown in the product description, the sensor is approximately 2.2" x 1.3" x 2.45".  From the outside, it's purely a plastic device that works well indoors.  I can't vouch for how well it will hold up in an outdoor application, exposed to the elements.  It doesn't appear to be designed for an outdoor application, although it may work perfectly fine.  I question its ability to function outdoors long term, especially in locations that experience extreme climatic changes.

Installation was simple and easy to wire up with the assistance of the supplied documentation.  The controls on the top of the device (depending how you mount it--we chose to mount it so the controls are pointed up) are rather small.  Two rotary controls provide settings for lux (brightness) and time (the duration that voltage is passed).  These controls are tiny plastic rotary knobs that are not easy to adjust without disrupting the sensor pointing position.  I used a ladder to more easily reach the sensor, and I adjusted the controls with my fingernails.

The time setting was difficult to set.  It fluctuated from between about 5 seconds to 1 minute very rapidly.  I had a hard time getting it close to a 30-second interval.  After 10 or 15 minutes of trial and error, I final achieved a setting of about 40 seconds.  The reported time range being between 8 seconds and 7 minutes is perhaps true, although I never tested the longer duration.  The time control knob is so small that a 7 minute range takes some effort to get set at a specific setting with pinpoint accuracy.  Once we had it set close to 30 seconds, it works great.  I just don't touch it.

The lux setting was easy.  I was able to set it to the level we needed very quickly.  Perhaps I was lucky.

But this device worked so well for us, I can't express how happy I am with the solution it's provided.  For ten years I've lived with no light at the bottom of a dark stairwell at night.  Now I turn a corner and the LED light pops on.  After about half a minute, it pops off.  Perfect!

These are very sophisticated timers yet simple to use once set up.  They made setup as easy as possible, it is slightly challenging for those of us that don't want to read instructions.  Forced to read them, they are clear and easy to follow.  Once the unit is setup the interface is nicely intuitive and timing setup is very simple.  The one star was subtracted because there is no sunrise or sunset timing feature, my most used timer feature.  This feature is a trade off for the simplicity, if you have used other timers then you know timers can be a nightmare to setup, this unit is simple.

I love the product!  The size of the motion sensors is great and they work very well. The door sensors are a bit large but the same size as comparable versions. (I only say they are on the large side because I am used to the micro sensors) the siren is surprisingly loud. Set up is a breeze and anyone can do it. The concept is great and very economical if you just want a local alarm that you can monitor yourself. The ability to add some basic home automation to the system is a huge plus!

My issue is with the app. I have had issues with the app causing my phone (iphone 6) to freeze. The app just seems to be a little buggy. It is easy to navigate and straight forward but just doesn't wow me as far as its visual design. It is super simple to make changes to the settings. One thing I would love is if you could re-arrange the order of your sensors on the app. They currently show up in the order you add them. Not a huge deal, but it seems like a simple thing that would really be nice.

The system has worked flawlessly, and I have no issues with the sensors showing open when they are actually closed or vice versa. The rage for the sensors is excellent.  I currently have 5 motion sensors, 2 door sensors and a key fob installed.

I would really like to get a second indoor siren, but at this time skylinknet is sold out so that's kinda a bummer. I totally would give this system five stars if the app was just a bit more refined. I'm sure eventually the app will get some updates but right now it just didn't rate five stars.

I got this to replace my old Honeywell thermostat which had no programming ability. This unit was super easy to install and program. I had it up and running in just a few minutes. I don't have air conditioning in my house but I do have central heating and we are gone for much of the day so it's nice to program the unit to come on shortly before we return from work. I also have it warm up in the mornings before work. It's worked perfectly with just one small annoyance. This may be common with modern thermostats, but if you want to override the setting and turn on the heat, you need to adjust the temperature at least 2 degrees higher or nothing will happen. In our house, it's fairly small and we have the temperature dialed in exactly where we want it but sometimes we just want it half a degree warmer. So it's a little annoying to have to turn it up 2 degrees higher and then remember to turn it down later or it will be too hot. Kind of a silly thing but other than that, this is a great unit at a good price. It looks great too. Very clean looking in our modern house.

I did lots of research before purchasing 2 of these units. One for use in my SUV and the other for my motorcycle. I received them 2 days after I entered the order. They were super simple to program. I just pressed the learn button on the garage door motor causing the LED light to flash and next pressed the button on the remote and I was done. Took 30 seconds per unit! I like the small size for ease of storing on my bike. Be aware that the effective operating distance is limited to approximately 50 feet.

Does exactly what I want: keep my crock pot off for a few hours, and then turn it on.  Excellent countdown feature and so easy to program.

This is a very simple item to use.  It actually doesn't come with instructions except a couple of lines on the outside of the box, and it doesn't need them.  You screw it into a socket and turn on the socket.  Then you leave the lamp or whatever turned on and control the bulb with the app you download free.  The app will run on your smartphone, tablet, etc., as long as it has Bluetooth.  The app both programs the bulb and can be used to control it directly, so you can turn it on and off, dim it, and adjust the color.  You can also program sunrise wake ups or vacation schedules.  Once programmed, the bulb will perform those functions on its own, without needing the app running nearby.  I woke up this morning to a Figi sunrise!  This is Bluetooth, so keep in mind that the control is local, not over the Internet.  This bulb is bright, and being LED, should have a long life and low energy cost.  It is 800 lumens and draws 1-13 watts, depending upon the setting.

I purchased this after leaving a curling iron on one morning and only just remembering it when leaving the house.  This little device removes the problem and with its simple 1/2 hour setting is just right.  For this application, that of shutting off current after an interval, the simplicity is just what is wanted -- but it is not to be confused with a scheduling device that might turn on lights, etc.

I got this to replace a 10+ year-old timer in an existing seven-zone system. Set-up took under a half-hour, including time to parse through the instructions. The wire grips are easy to manipulate and the programming is easy to figure out. After a few weeks, the timer works perfectly.

Regarding the "Water All Zones", my version of this timer does have this function and does cycle through the zones instead of doing them all at once. This makes sense to me, since watering all zones at once would clobber my water pressure, which is part of the reason why I split zones in the first place!

Regarding the comments that the timer is "too simple", I can see where somebody might need more scheduling alternatives -- or at least think that they do -- but I don't. For the money, this is a good value if you're OK with its fairly limited (I.E., simple) scheduling.

<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Enover-7-day-Programmable-Plug-in-Digital-Timer-Switch-with-3-prong-Outlet-for-Lights-and-Appliances-15A-1800W-Set-of-2/dp/B01DPOFC5U/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Enover 7-day Programmable Plug-in Digital Timer Switch with 3-prong Outlet for Lights and Appliances, 15A/1800W, Set of 2</a>

Package Contains: 2 Plug-In Timer Switches and a user Manual

At first glance  each timer is about 6 inches tall and 3 inches wide. Each has an approximately 2 inch by 2 inch LCD screen which allows you to see very well what you are programming. Below the screen is 8 buttons to help program your timer to your needs. It holds up to 10 on and off settings for each day of the week. In order to reset the time when I received it I had to push the reset but after that it was very easy to set up each day of the week I wanted my lights to come on.

There is a 12 hr or 24 hr format you can use for your clock settings as well as a standard versus summer time. The simplistic nature of just easily setting up times and plugging in your appliance was a perk in my eyes. I love the company also has a battery back up which is great so you don't have to constantly reprogram if you move from plug to plug or power goes off.

Some extra perks I would have liked to have seen with this product because of its size is the ability for the plug outlet to rotate 360 degrees and capability to use outdoors.

Overall I really like the simplicity of this product and how easy it was to setup. These outlets are perfect for when you need to have a light come on while your on vacation or to turn on the crock pot at a certain time of the day. I used mine for the lights, fans, purifiers, etc. It worked every time.

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for something easy as : setup, plug in, and go!!!

I received this 7 day Programmable Plug-In Digital Time Switch from Enover at a very discounted price in order to provide my unbiased opinion on their product.

Boy, isn't it great when something works as promised? This is my experience with the Acurite 5 in 1 weather station. I had it out of the box and up and running perfectly in way less than an hour. The quick start instructions were all I needed and I don't know how anyone could become confused because it was easy to follow these step by step instructions for the outdoor unit.

The color display was also easy to get going with the simple instructions. Some may complain about having to be at the correct angle to see the data but I can easily adjust to that. For $180, I can be somewhat flexible. It is a beautiful display with accurate date and that is the main thing. When people see it sitting there on my table, they are drawn to it and are curious. I love it.

The bridge: how could it be any more simple? The quick start instructions had pictures and simple step by step instructions that had me up and running quickly. The aculink website recognized my unit quickly and even registering the unit was easy because the website recognized the MAC address partially and I only had to fill in a few missing numbers which I collected from the bridge.

Linking to weather underground was also easy because aculink had a link to help get it up and going. My smartphone app is cool looking with my current accurate weather data.

What a great time I had setting up my station at home. As a science teacher, I had set up weather stations at my school using Davis Instruments. Talk about confusing and frustrating! The software was a nightmare and the instruments unreliable after a while. I am sure they have improved their systems by now but back then, whew, what a mess. Only time will tell how long my Acurite unit will last but the set up and software stuff was such a joy compared to my earlier days at school. I wish I had had this unit back then.

A happy weather watcher camper!

This cell-phone sized GPS logger does exactly what it claims to do.  It comes with a convenient velcro strap and hook so it can be attached to your camera bag; I prefer to use a carabiner since the plastic hook seems cheap.

The AGL3080's interface is mind blowingly simple: blinking green lights are good.  Solid lights are bad.  You just power the thing on and wait for the satellite reception indicator to blink green and you know it's good to go.  With that said, this device could be quicker at picking up a signal.  It's taken me upwards to five minutes for it to resolve when there's cloud cover or I'm indoors.  This isn't killer, but I do wish it was quicker.

Once you've collected some data, it's simple to use software like Houdah Geo to tag your photos.  The AGL3080 just plugs into your computer's USB port and mounts as an external drive.  Very easy to use and there's no proprietary interface concealing your data.  It works perfectly with my Macbook and Rebel XTi.

I purchased this item a while back. It took me a while before I got the courage to install it. Once I started it was very easy and I don't even need any help. Easy to program and comes with great features. Within one day I had the device up and running. I have been running for about 3 years and I run it more than 25 times a day/ 5 days a week. This product has the ability to have additional items added like backup battery or lights that come on when the door is opened.
