GE In-Wall 6-Option Countdown Timer

This timer switch has been a game changer for both my indoor and outdoor lighting. Once it’s programmed, you can forget about it. My lights turn on and off automatically every day, which adds convenience, improves security, and saves energy. Pros: * Easy to program with flexible scheduling. * Automatically adjusts for daylight saving time. * Great for porch, landscape, and indoor lights. * Reliable and consistent operation. * Gives the home a lived-in appearance when you’re away. Cons: * Installation requires basic electrical knowledge. * Programming has a slight learning curve the first time. Overall, this is one of those products that makes you wonder why you didn’t install it sooner. If you want automated lighting without relying on smart home apps or Wi-Fi, this timer is an excellent choice.

Was a breeze to setup, still working a year later and looks great. I always trust GE to make a good product.

Installed in a bathroom to run the exhaust fan. This was wired correctly per instructions, but the timer wouldn't shut off after one minute, the fan ran forever, and buttons on the timer did nothing. The problem was solved by my electrician: instead of the power going from the switch to the fan, the power was going from the fan to the switch. Line/Load/Ground in the switch box appeared correct, but they weren't: what showed as the hot line was really the neutral return from the fan. This meant that when the 15318 was installed and turned on, there wasn't enough power being returned to the switch for it to charge the capacitor, activate the timer, and shut off the fan. If you have a similar problem in an older house where the switch doesn't turn off after one minute, check this: if a multimeter shows 120v from line to ground with the switch off, but nothing or near nothing with the fan running, then your fan (or other item) was probably wired wrong, and an electrician or a good handyman needs to change the splicing so hot goes to the switch first, not the fan. After that was sorted out the timer worked great.

I have installed 8 of these so far in my new home. A very good quality item with easy to follow instructions. I initially installed two in two dark corridors that lead to a utility/laundry room where I installed another. I'm either carrying laundry, my dogs dishes or one of my dogs to bathe in the utility sink and it's nice to not enter dark rooms. The garage location has worked well as it lights up the garage quickly when the I open the interior and garage door. I've installed one in a closet (great location). I also installed one at the bottom and top of a stairwell. Often I'm carrying something up or down the stairs. However, at the bottom of the the stairs it won't detect me until I'm 3 to 4 steps from the bottom landing. I have others installed in my home's long entry way hallway. I was initially concerned that my small dogs would trigger the sensors but that is not the case. I initially bought these items based on the GE brand name and the devices being UL Listed too. Out of 8 purchased I have only received one item that didn't work that I easily returned for s replacement. It's kind of cool to have each room light up as you walk through them (seems kinda SciFi to me. I still have a few more places to install these, so I will be buying more. Great quality item at half the price the same item at the big box stores near me.
