Sept 7, 2024 - Initial Review---------------------------------I bought 2 of these and just installed it today. The first one took a bit of time to figure out which wire goes where and to figure out the Longitude, Latitude, and the coordinate adjustment values on first setup. The instructions provided has everything you need. Also, there are some really good YouTube videos you can watch before doing the wiring. Installing the second programmable switch was pretty straight forward except for the fact that my original programmable timer switch's blue wire connected to a hot wire while the black one went to the outside lights. The original electrician had 2 black wires going in and out of the old switch, one was line and the other one hot for the outdoor light switch outlet. The one in the living room is a black for hot that went to the switch's black wire and a red for line that went to the switch's blue wire (simple). Long story shot, I had to rewire the outdoor light switch twice because of this confusion. Once everything is set up, the Honeywell switches are nice and simple to program. Both are working as expected. They're definitely nice and I can actually read the programmable settings with a backlight on! This is better than my old one that turned yellow from ozone degradation. The old one had a really small LED display without any backlight and it was so hard to see, even in my younger days!I haven't figured out fully on how the automatic setting with the fluctuations in daylight hours. I assume that the defaults provided for sunset based on Longitude and Latitude is somewhat accurate in addition to the daylight savings time (DST). Also, the adjustment of 1 (one) is likely the whole hour to delay for sunset at dusk. I'll have to play around with this and see if putting the adjustment for 2 or 3 will delay turning on the sunset time to 2 and 3 hours.The only knock against this programmable switch is that it is expensive. However, there are other programmable switches out there similar to this but with unreplaceable soldered in batteries that die out in a few years and are either comparable in price or higher. This one, like my old programmable switch, uses a capacity to store some charge to keep the settings alive for a short period of time. The old one lasted for over 25 years. Hopefully, these two Honeywell switches last as long or more.I will provide further updates on this review of the Honeywell RPLS740B Econo-switch as necessary.Update: Oct 30, 2024----------------------------Added photos to hopefully help others in programming this timer. It's relatively easy and the Longitude, Latitude, and Adjustment factors are given in the instruction sheet. My Honeywell timers has been used for 2 months now and I love it. The automatic sunset adjustment with offset for my front door lights and another one for my living room lights works out great! My front door is offset +50 minutes after sunset while my living room timer is offset to -20 minutes before sunset. In addition, I can turn it on or off manually and the timer will continue to switch on or off at the set programs. The daylight savings time will be this Sunday. So, I'll see if the DST feature works well in conjunction with sunset offset settings. The display is big and bright enough for my aging eyes to see. Love these programmable switches from Honeywell and I do recommend these particular ones.I will continue to update this review as necessary.

Advertised to have the plastic cover come with it but it doesn’t!

The device is not compatible with any of the EU electric circuit standards. It is only for 110V electric circuit. I really do not understand why it is sold in the EU Amazon markets.

Me resolvio mi problema de encendido y apagado automatico de luces

I am very pleased with this neat timer. I bought one to control the lights on the front of our house and was happy enough with its operation that I bought another for our rear patio light (all LEDs). I have had them since September and October of last year (about 8 months now) and they have performed flawlessly. I installed them after I learned that a house several doors down our street had a break-in.I installed the timers myself. As has been mentioned, you do need to have a neutral wire, so you'll need to confirm you have a neutral wire in the junction box where it's going to be installed. The timer does take up more room, so you'll also want to confirm there's some extra room for it to fit properly. I installed one switch in a box that contained three switches, and the other in a box that contained two. Some wire re-arranging was necessary. Also, the three-switch box had three neutral wires coming in to the box and the supplied wire nut was too small, so I had to use a larger wire nut (which I luckily happened to have on hand from another project).Programming on/off times for the timer isn't even necessary if you're satisfied with the default settings, which is turn on at sunset and off at 11:00pm. I originally programmed mine to come on at sunset and off at sunrise. After observing operation for a few weeks it appeared that there was adequate light at sunset and sunrise, even on cloudy days, so I thought, what the heck, I'll save a little more money (after all, that's one of the reasons for using a timer) so I reprogrammed them to turn on 10 minutes after sunset and off 10 minutes before sunrise; a good compromise between clear and cloudy days. I considered 20 minutes but decided against it due to inadequate ambient light on a cloudy day. (on or off sunrise/sunset offsets can only be done in 10 minute increments) Some have complained of the complexity of programming the switch. I found that it did seem to be just a little tricky to learn, but my instructions came with several examples so, once I learned the "flow" of how the switch works it was pretty straightforward. My instructions came with a flow chart of the different programming modes which also was handy. You'll want to hold on to the instructions to serve as a "memory jogger" if you ever wish to reprogram the timer in the future. The default latitude/longitude location is roughly in the eastern US, so you'll probably want to change it to your location. Easy enough since the instructions include a good number of major and minor cities and you can use the closest one, or use something like Google maps to find your lat/long.Some have complained that the timer makes a click when the lights come on. It does make a very soft "click" when the internal relay is actuated, but it's no louder than a "soft click" manual toggle switch. I have one timer installed near a couch where we watch TV and more often than not we don't even notice the click, and we don't blast the TV. If in a quiet room it will be just noticeable enough for you to think "oh--the outside lights just came on. That's nice" and you'll go back to your reading or whatever task at hand.A few complained about the blue LED that comes on when the internal relay is actuated. I found it to be a nice reassurance/confirmation that the lights are on, especially if an outside light is around a corner where you can't readily see that it's on. I didn't find it to be that distracting.The screen on this timer has a clock that is easily readable, as are the icons that indicate the different modes. The days of the week are somewhat small, but you'll realistically only need to see them when programming the timer, and even then just move a little closer. The back-light on the screen can be programmed to stay on bright, or to go to dim or off 3 seconds after pressing any button. I set mine to go to dim; another cool reassurance that things are working as normal. I discovered a nice little side-benefit: when in normal "run" mode, if you press the left or right side of the slim rocker button the screen will momentarily display your current sunrise/sunset time.The timer will automatically adjust for daylight saving time (DST). We live in a DST area and the switches have gone through two DST adjustments flawlessly.We've experienced one 30 minute power outage and the timers did not have to be reprogrammed. From what I understand even after the 4 hour limit you'll only have to reprogram the clock, and won't loose any programming.All in all I am very satisfied with the quality and operation of my timers. It is convenient to not have to remember to turn the lights on at dusk and off at dawn every day. And it's very nice if we've been out all day and return after sunset to come home to an automatically well-lit house. Sure, you could use IOT smart-switches. But sometimes it's a good idea to spread your technology risk around--some self contained (as this is), and some computer/internet controlled.

Muy práctico y útil

Un excelente articulo de una marca confiable como es Honeywell, con un acabado agradable a la vista una estética de tipo minimalista que combina en cualquier lugar. Muy fácil de operar, para seleccionar los días y los horarios de encendido/apagado de lo que sea: luces, ventiladores de techo, bombas de Fuentes de agua, etc. motores de hasta 1/4 de potencia.

The product control voltage is 120v. Cannot use in India directly.

Sin duda funciona y uno mismo lo puede instalar teniendo los 3 cables. Compraré un par mas

Una de las mejores decisiones que he tomado es comprar estos switch. Tengo 2 de ellos los cuales programo que se prendan y se apaguen a cierta hora. También pueden programarse según la altitud y latitud para que enciendan y se apaguen al anochecer y amancecer. Se programan por días individuales, lo cual yo uso para que las luces se apaguen mas tarde los fines de semana. Es muy util para cuando no hay nadie en la casa y no se vea sola. Además también para la gente que olvida apagar las luces son de mucha utilidad. Lo mejor es que lo tengo con focos de led, entonces aunque se enciendan diario no gasto tanta luz.

Te da la tranquilidad de salir de casa sin el pendiente de si dejaste encendidas o no las luces.Tiene una programación bastante amigable y luce muy bien en la pared

Es muy buen producto. Puedes programarlo para que prenda a la hora que desees, que encienda aleatoriamente o que simplemente siga el atardecer. Solo hay que tomar en cuenta que necesita estar conectado a un neutro (que no es lo mismo que tierra física)

Funciona de maravilla, solo se extraña que no tenga batería suficiente para guardar la hora en caso de ausencia de luz. Y no, el neutro no se conecta a la caja metálica.
