Intermatic HB880R 15-Amp Seven Day Outdoor Digital Timer

This took a while to really figure out to make work for my unique set up, but now that I understand it, it works well. I have it running the motor on my auto chicken door (motor d20) and it works every time adjusting to the astronomical time, just like the birds. I wasn't clear initially on how to adjust the time each day based on the sunrise and sunset because to be safe (and to not lock my birds in/out of the house) I need it to open and close before and after these times by about 30 minutes. Their biological clock isn't as precise and not EXACTLY as our recorded sunrise for instance. So now I know you don't have to enter the truthful sunrise/sunset, you can enter a time you want for it to do what you. Then it adjusts from there.

I bought this to run my Christmas lights this year due to my outdoor mechanical timer no longer working. I bought this because it looked the most robust for the money and had dual grounded outlets. There have been no issues for the 3 weeks it has been running and we have had several days of rain. I am probably only running about 2 amps through it, but I would feel comfortable operating it within its limits.As some users have mentioned, programming is not as intuitive as other units (I have an indoor digital timer from another company that is very intuitive), but the included directions were easy enough to figure it out. One user review has even better directions on Amazon. There are plenty of options to select from and I like that it can have dusk and dawn times update based on location.I also like that you can easily mount this to a wall or fence with two screws or nails. The one negative is that it did not include mounting screws. Overall I would recommend this if you need a solid outdoor timer.

Works great ....easy to use.

I recently acquired this digital timer as an exact replacement for my previous one, which unfortunately fell victim to a lightning strike.What I like about this timer is its consistent performance. As long as it maintains a steady power source or relies on the battery backup for short power outages, it operates seamlessly without any hiccups. I've been using it for over a decade (the original and current one), and it has proven to be reliable day in and day out.Whether you need a replacement for a damaged timer or are in the market for a dependable digital timer, this product is worth considering. It has certainly met my expectations and provided a hassle-free solution to my needs. Just be sure to keep it powered or backed up with batteries for uninterrupted operation.
