This purchase was worth every penny. Unbelievable all the features it has wrapped up in such a tiny package. Right now I have two seperate programs going. One program turns it on at dusk, and off at 10:30pm seven days a week. The other program turns it on at 6am, and off at 7:30am Monday thru Friday just for going to work in the mornings. The directions don't explain the multiple programs very well, but it can be done. Once you get your time zone and region set up, it is very simple to program after a few practices. The other cool feature is that you can manually turn it on just by pressing the cover to the controls, then pressing it again for off. The reason I purchased this particular Intermatic model is that it is capable of working with compact Fluorescents without damaging the bulbs mini ballast. There are many timers out there, but if you plan on using them with compact fluorescents, either read the package specifications or call the manufacture to make sure it will work for that application. Hope you find my review helpful.

I've got it 2 weeks ago to replace EJ500C I was having for 3 months. My biggest problem with EJ500C was that I have fluorescent lights outside and had to use them with a regular incandescent to prevent the lights to constantly glow - electronic switch in EJ500C just can't cut the power off completely when there is no ballast I guess. Plus I don't know what EJ500C was doing to the power, but I had to replace that incandescent light every two weeks, which was driving me nuts. ST01C has a "real" mechanical relay inside that electronically controlled but physically switches the power. You can hear a distinctive clicking sound when it goes on and off. My biggest concern is that it's official replacement of disastrous model SS7C, which never lasted more then 6 months. Intermatic claims that ST01C was fixed and problems SS7C had are just impossible. Will live will see. For right now I'm very happy, my 6 CFLs and 300W low voltage circuit work as I want and I have plans to add more lights. I will update my feedback as soon as I have any problems with the switch (knock on wood).

This was purchased to replace a much older model, whose internal relay finally began malfunctioning.
This newer model is closer to the wall (and somewhat harder to find in the dark). It includes dawn and dusk as times (which the older model did not). These two times vary by date. Don't yet know how accurate they are. They are set by entering sunrise and sunset times for the current date, and choosing an area of the USA by latitude (high, medium, low). Programming is straightforward.
The internal CR2 battery is not common, but we happen to use it for our garage door remotes.
Hookup is easy. The switch can be used as a single switch, or part of a three-way system.
Cons: none yet, unless you need designer colors on the switch.

I purchased this unit to replace a Brinks timer from Walmart. The Brinks units need to warn consumers not to use compact fluorescent lights with their product, especially since the box touts fluorescent lighting compatibility. This was one of the few units, that I could find, that uses a real, honest, electromechanical relay. I have been happy with this unit so far. I noticed that another reviewer said their unit did not keep time, I do not have anything more accurate than my cell phone to compare with. After a month of service, the time may be off by about a minute, assuming that the cell phone system does no vary.
Excellent Product January 21, 2008

The self adjusting Switch Timer is a quality product. If you use the supplemental instructions to set it up, it is really quite easy. It automatically turns on and off in your location zone (north, midstate, south) and adjusts for you so that you never really have to reset on/off times. You can override the general instructions and set it for weekday and weekends if you so wish or for your own set times. Having had an older version of this type of unit, this one far exceeds ease of use and hopefully, reliability.
