Timer Control Of your lights.
Here is a new way to control you lights
with a timer. This is an
insteon timer. It works to remotely control insteon switches in your home. Insteon switches are switches that are able to
talk with each other. This way you can control more than one switch with one timer. Many houses have
several outside lights. Before this device you would have to install
an ugly time wall switch at each location to control the
lights.
These
older was switch are not as attractive as the insteon switches. The time also
has to be set on each switch. Setting the times on each of these switches can
be time consuming. These switches are also mechanical and tend to fail
often. With the insteon time you can have attractive wall switch.
You only need to set up your programming in one location. The time can be
hidden anywhere you have a wall outlet.
This
is a basic insteon dual band wall switch. It can talk to the plug in
the wall time above. As you can see it has a much better look than an in the
wall timer. Since it can talk with other insteon devices you can also expand its
function. For example you could also get a remotelinc switch for your car. This
way you can turn on any insteon light from your car. There is even a smart
phone app that will let you use and iphone or android phone as a controller.
The
best part is the cost is not much more than the older style switches. The
older timers cost between $35 $45 where the insteon switches are only $40 - $50 each.
This is a big step forward in ease of use. The same type of timer can be
use inside of your home for lamps and wall switches. There is even a vacation
mode that will turn lights on randomly to give your
home a lived in look.
