This is the most ridiculously hard thing to set up I've ever seen. If you just use the instructions that came with the unit you'll never set it up. This video helps. Without this video You're screwed. Even with the video you're screwed, you're just screwed less. In addition the directions that come with it are printed so small they're impossible to read. Wish I had not bought this, but it's too late.
I had to come to watch this video. First of all, the print is so small I needed a magnifying glass to read it. I couldn’t figure it out without this video.
to compensate for the very small font, I enlarged the file on my computer screen and screenshot the image so that the printout would be readable. I agree I had to use the video too. reading the instructions and watching the video and then using common sense, I was able to understand how the sitch could be correctly programmed.
Purchasing this time is one of the worst mistakes I made. The instructions are extremely difficult to follow and are in fine print. I wish I had read the reviews prior to buying this time
Why in this example would you want your lights to turn off at 11pm? I understand that lighting doesn't necessarily have to be the load, but in most cases it would
Phone tech support told me how set the on off timing manually. I agree the instructions are lousy. The translation I believe is the problem. Call tech support and keep your hair.
I have 2 of these. One controls my front porch light and works great. The other controls my outside grarage coach lights, and seems to come on too early and go off too early. I checked the settings and cannot see a difference between them. The instructions are horrible, as others have stated.
Right?! Pain in the neck. Doesn’t even go into this geographic time setup at all in the settings. You might be better off just having it manually turning on and off. I
i told my old man not to get this one. he did. worst thing ever. i had to reschedule a time to come back to set the thing because the customer had to leave. Sunday at 9 AM is when i had to go back to program this headache.
Concept/idea is good. I wish I never purchased this damn thing. Where is the reset button and what should the screen look like when you figure out how to push it.?
it's not a POS. The instructions are poorly written and this video is badly produced. The switch works fine. The switch is not for the faint-hearted though. In my honest opinion don't buy this switch because the instructions are confusing and the video is bad.
Very frustrating and confusing product. The calculated sunset time is way off on mine. This video should have been reviewed as he says at 1:41 to hit mode but he presses enter, and at 3:18 he says to set the sunrise time but then sets the sunset (on time).

I hate this stupid thing. Hate it.

I kind of agree with you. the switch works fine, the instructions are confusing and the video is poor.
You have to connect the two ground wires, excluding the ground that's that's 277 volts or it won't work.

Reset is in bottom of unit- use a paper clip and it will reset

Telephone support was great. Just a matter of getting the right color wires connected or terminated. Great device.

Garbage too much technology to deal with after installation nobody can figure out. Wouldn’t recommend
I press mode at the very end and it takes me back to RND mode...
That was very complicated to setup
