Aug.21, 2016 My life just got better. Tried following the instructions to no avail. This video walked me through the process step by step. Thank you for a very professional tutorial.
I agree with the problem with the directions. And here I thought it was printed incorrectly. AND after owning many of the older style, this one was a major pain until I though about You Tube the the program.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your video saved my sanity. I had lost the instructions during a recent renovation and couldn't figure out how to reprogram the timer. Your instructions were explicit, concise, easy to follow and absolutely perfect! Kudos to you for posting that video.
Jim, Thank you for letting us know how helpful our video was for you while programming your ST01 timer. You made our day! Don't hesitate to contact us if you ever need help. Aand Thank You for being a customer. We appreciate you! LG
Hi Rick! Dan and Intermatic appreciate your kind words. We are happy this video is helpful for you. We appreciate you being a customer, and we'll see you back here in the fall/winter. All the best, LG
This video is gold. Saved me so many headaches. The printed instructions that came with the timer aren’t nearly as helpful as this video. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you for posting this. I purchased a home with these already installed and so didn't complete the initial set up. This process is much more complicated than necessary and the written instructions need significant improvement. I was finally able to get my units programmed with the help of these videos. Having almost 100K views says something about the written instructions!
My product doesn’t match the buttons in the video or written instructions. And don’t respond in accordance to the video. Needless to say the HOA required it but I can only run it manually. The only dark house on the block.
Hi Goldie! Thank you for the compliment! We appreciate you stopping by to let us know this video was helpful! This compliment and knowing you're one of our customers absolutely makes our day! Thank you! Have a great day! LG
Thank you for this video! Was able to set up my Intermatic (the house we bought had this type of switch but no instructions on how to set it up). Again, thanks!!!!
Abdul, Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to know the video helped you. I am including a link to the instruction sheet which could be handy in the future. Welcome to the Intermatic family and let us know if you ever have any questions. All the best, LG Instructions: dtrermj9469s.cloudfront.net/userfiles/images/inriver/original/10023_st01-ei600%20series%20instructions%20en.pdf
The written directions that came with the timer DO NO WORK for setting fixed ON/OFF. This Video tells the correct steps for a fixed On Off - Thank you!!!
Why didn't I think to look this up on CZcams sooner??????????? Would have saved me so much time and frustration! Intermatic - you need to find a better, easier way to program. The instructions for this product were horrible and did not work. Thank you for the video!
Even with this video, the programming is insanely difficult. Intermatic engineers need to get out of their own heads and realize that everyday folks don't have engineering degrees. There MUST be a way to design easier programming. This is the last Intermatic device I ever purchase. Can't wait til it breaks!
Kathi, Thanks again for contacting us. We take customer feedback very seriously and thought you might like to know we recently reviewed the instructions for the ST01 and are currently re-writing them to make them easier to follow and understand. Although the changes are coming, we also understand this does not solve the difficulties you have right now. Our Technical Services team is available and ready to walk you through any part of the process you need assistance with. Please call them at 815-675-7000; our Office Hours are M-F, 8 AM to 4:30 PM CST. We are here for you! LG
Ok. I have an accounting degree and found this video to be perfect. Thanks for the help!!! Wonderful clear instructions, and perfect pace to play along.
Hi WorldEye88 - It's great to see you on another one of our videos. We really are happy to see our videos make a difference for our customers, but we really appreciate when you tell us about it. Thanks again for stopping by and don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need any help. Also, be sure to subscribe to our channel for any new updates and or tutorials. Thanks again! LG
The paper instructions are bogus. The key difference in this video is the RESET process. In order to reset, you need to press AND HOLD the on/off button while pressing the reset button AND CONTINUE HOLDING the on/off button for more 3 seconds. The product instructions are incorrect, the product is only resetting the basic time/date. Thanks for a good CZcams video !!
Install a 150 Watt flood light on the dock out back a week ago. Installed this switch last Friday after programing it. Location of light and switch makes it tricky. Well light never came on at the programed time. Tried several things but still didn't work. Watched this video several times. Realized I never reset the switch. So went out to the dock this morning and the light was on. Yep AM PM. Always something with me but the light works and switch is in a waterproof box. Hope to see many fish tis fall in Southeast Louisiana. The video is just fine for me.
Conceptual summary: - MODE button allows for entering PGM mode. Click MODE until you see PGM and choose that with ON/OFF button - There are many "fields" on the screen. A field flashes indicating that's the value you are currently modifying. - While a field is flashing, use the +/- buttons to change the value of the active field. - When done modifying any given field, click ON/OFF to move to the next field - The "event #" field is lower right, modify that with +/- to move to the next on/off event (set of fields) - Exit PGM mode by clicking the MODE button again at any time, or simply leave everything alone and it will timeout and return to normal operating mode. Most users will never need to program more than 2 events.
Not easy to program with several flights of stairs between the computer and device. Add to it the need for reading glasses and flashlight and I'm left wondering what I got myself into. While I'm glad I found the video, I'm not sure this device was my best purchase. I may simply remove it and place it on my other great purchase - the treadmill.
Hi, @hellokitty8552! Thank you for sharing your feedback! We are happy to learn this video was helpful. Let us know if you ever need assistance with your ST01. Thank you for being a customer! LG
Originally our electrician had set our lights to go on at dusk, off at 10 PM, back on at 6 AM and back off at dawn. Our battery died and when we replaced it we lost the program and can not figure out how to set it back to the way it was.... super frustrating!

Mint video, now can you do one about getting along with your wife. Especially how to keep her quiet!! To much talking all the time. Do a step by step like this one. Cheers.
Hello I have the st01 switch the power is on but when I push the cover to turn on the fan fan doesn’t come on.. it’s been down for couple years now. Do I need to reprogram it to turn the fan on?
hi! i just installed a nest thermostat. the tech fan won't run when using my nest thermo, unless i will manually or set program to my intermatic. now my question is that, can i or how am i going to connect or integrated my nest thermo to my intermatic ST01?
I have two of these installed by a contractor. They automatically stop working after some time and then the painful programming process starts. Why is it designed like this?
Please call our Technical Support team at 815-675-7000. The memory in this timer should never erase unless you manually reset it. www.intermatic.com/en/support
Hi Jim, I'd recommend you give our Tech Support team a call at 815-675-7000, their office hours are M-F 8AM to 4:30PM CST. You can also reach them via Chat on our website. (Same office hours there as well) Thank you for being a customer and thanks for reaching out to us. We appreciate you! LG
I would like to know if this timer can be programmed to only turn lights off. In other words you would turn them on by pushing the manual over ride button and it will always turn the lights off at night. I'm thinking that if I leave the first event "ON" time blank this will work but I don't know if the programming will allow me to advance to continue to program the first event "OFF" time. I believe you could do this with the larger intermatic ET series outdoor timers but the programming on this is a bit different.
How long should the battery last? I just installed a battery a week ago and it's already flashing "BATT." Is it supposed to be a battery backup or is that the sole power source?
Just to let everyone know, there is a BATTERY in this timer. When it goes dead, the screen goes dark and nothing works. Pull out the battery using the weird shaped plastic ridge inside the door.
+Danroxye01 Yes, the door can be pressed to turn the timer on and off manually without disturbing the programming. In our video “ST01 Single Pole Time Switch Installation ” czcams.com/video/RErdw4_Lc0M/video.html this is shown near the end of the video, at about 2:40.
Yes it can. I can be operated manually by pressing the door in until the unit ‘clicks’ and turns the circuit on/off. This will not affect the programming.
Hi Peter. Thank you for the question. The timer will not work if the battery is dead. If you need further assistance, please call our technical services team who are available to assist you. You can reach them at 815-675-7000, office hours are M-F, 8AM to 4:30PM, CST. Thank you for being a customer! LG
Yes, that means it is time to change the battery. This timer uses a CR2 battery. The best place to find this battery is any store with a 1 hour photo counter (like CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart), as the battery was originally used in cameras. They should be back in the photo area.
Hi Alex, Thanks for the great question, see the instructions below. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask me or call our award winning Technical Support team at 815-675-7000. Our office hours are M-F, 8AM to 4:30PM CST. Thank You for being a customer! LisaG 1. To delete an event in the ST01, go to the “Event” number to be deleted. 2. Then press on/off and you will see the word ON or OFF flashing. 3. Then press the + or - button until it says SKIP. 4. Then press on/off again and that will save that and the event number flashes again. 5. The event is now gone and the word SKIP should remain.
So I should figure the features I want, search through your matrix of products in hope that my needs match one of your offerings, purchase, install, attempt to program, then hope the result matches my initial requirements. Is this correct?
Hi Grasou, Thank you for your comment. There is another video explaining how to install the ST01 timer, which you can view here -- czcams.com/video/RErdw4_Lc0M/video.html If you have any additional questions, please reach out to our Technical Support Team at 815-675-7000, or by Live Chat on our Website.

Horribly complicated product...I do not care how many degrees you have....professionally installed...comes on at 1 am...off at 5am..if not for video I would take it out.
Aug.21, 2016 My life just got better. Tried following the instructions to no avail. This video walked me through the process step by step. Thank you for a very professional tutorial.
No kidding! Those instructions are horrible. Great tutorial.
Thank you. I tried programming this timer 4 times. I couldn't believe how difficult the directions were! This was soooo much easier.
I agree with the problem with the directions. And here I thought it was printed incorrectly. AND after owning many of the older style, this one was a major pain until I though about You Tube the the program.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your video saved my sanity. I had lost the instructions during a recent renovation and couldn't figure out how to reprogram the timer. Your instructions were explicit, concise, easy to follow and absolutely perfect! Kudos to you for posting that video.

My product doesn’t match the buttons in the video or written instructions. And don’t respond in accordance to the video. Needless to say the HOA required it but I can only run it manually. The only dark house on the block.
So it's not just me, it's the instructions. Thought for a moment I needed to re-hone my reading skills. Video very helpful.
Thank you so much!!! I was racking my head looking at the instruction manual. This video saved me so much time!
You're pretty awesome! Just programed my lights. Thank you.
Hi Goldie! Thank you for the compliment! We appreciate you stopping by to let us know this video was helpful! This compliment and knowing you're one of our customers absolutely makes our day! Thank you! Have a great day! LG

Sure wish the AUDIO portion was much clearer, the pamphlet that came with the unit is a PIA to follow , as I tried it 12 times and gave up

If I just want to adjust the current time on my switch, do I still need to go thru the entire process?
Would be nice to have a video that shows how to program non fixed days, such as M-F be different than the weekends. I can't find it on youtube.
Good explanation. Easy to follow. Idiot proof!!!
Awesome, we're glad it helped!

Yes. If you program OFF EVENTS only and leave it in AUTO.
How long should the battery last? I just installed a battery a week ago and it's already flashing "BATT." Is it supposed to be a battery backup or is that the sole power source?
Batteries in a ST01 should last about 3 years. The timer will not switch on and off if the battery is dead. It is the sole power source.
Just to let everyone know, there is a BATTERY in this timer. When it goes dead, the screen goes dark and nothing works. Pull out the battery using the weird shaped plastic ridge inside the door.
Can this intermatic ST01 be used as a conventionnal switch to turn ON/OFF lights without deactivating it's programming ?
+Danroxye01 Yes, the door can be pressed to turn the timer on and off manually without disturbing the programming. In our video “ST01 Single Pole Time Switch Installation ” czcams.com/video/RErdw4_Lc0M/video.html this is shown near the end of the video, at about 2:40.

i got my intermatic STO1C working just fine but the BATT keep on flashing . . . . does it mean its time to change the battery??
Yes, that means it is time to change the battery. This timer uses a CR2 battery. The best place to find this battery is any store with a 1 hour photo counter (like CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart), as the battery was originally used in cameras. They should be back in the photo area.
