BN-LINK Timer Outlet Short Period Repeat Cycle Intermittent Digital Timer, Interval Timer - Day, Night, or 24 Hour Operation, Programmable Plug-in Timer for Appliances Electrical Outlets 15A/1875W

I use this device in “24 hour mode” to automatically reboot a 5G internet modem / gateway device every night. The 5G device sits at a remote cabin and occasionally glitches and thus stops providing internet to our mesh WiFi system, rendering security cameras and other smart devices inaccessible when we’re not at the property. I’ve set it to run for 23 hours 59 minutes and turn off for one minute. This schedule turns power to the 5G device off for one minute at 3am every night, then powers it back up — effectively rebooting our 5G providers internet gateway device. Yea, one day I will have them replace the gateway, but I’ll still use this device to automatically reboot it for us every night, ensuring our internet always runs.

Very happy with this version of the timer as it shows remaining time per cycle vs the non digital model. Read the programming instructions carefully - it's a little tricky switching the initial setup from minutes to hours but works flawlessly!

Works great for the drain on my air compressor

Vakue for the money and works just great

This is the second one i bought. It works better than the $100 timers. I use it in my grow room to turn the circulation fan on when the light turn off.

The unit gets a 3.5 from me because the instructions don't really help getting to the off timer. I have a house fan I want turned on and off but had a devil of a time getting to the minutes off setting. After I set the 'on' timer I couldn't get to the 'off' timer. Whenever I hit set to go into 'off' mode it went into the 'on' setting again and kept counting down, and when touched, reset itself and began to count down again. I set the 'on' to 00.00 and basically & just 'banged' buttons til I got to the off minutes setting. BUT, the unit works like a charm. On for 10 minutes, off for 7. I just pray to the universe I won't have to change the setting soon. One buyer had some instructions, which may help others out.Or, if others can tell me how to program the unit I would appreciate it. Thanks

We have in-line hot water circulator at our house. It works great but I can't keep it on more than 5min at a time. Anything longer causes cold-water line to carry hot water as well. So, I had attached it to a manual timer. Before taking a shower, I press the timer button turn it on, 5m minutes later, time is up. This was good. However, the hot-water line gets cold for other times and I again need to activate the timer. This us frustrating to say the least. Then I came across this unit. I set it as 2 minutes on, 15 minutes off. I can see what the timer is doing at any time, day or night. Now we have continuous hot water and cold water stays cold. The timer is easy to set or reset. As the weather conditions change, I can set it to a different on/off combination.It's not cheap but I like it so much that I ordered another one for other uses around the house, expected to be delivered today!

2024-02-06Overall a very decent & functional unit at a reasonable, though not excellent, price. I've had it only a few days. I will update this review in coming months & years.My application for this interval timer switch is to run a small 50W table fan + 10W ozone generator for 10 seconds or so every 10 minutes when wildfire smoke degrades indoor air quality severely.The unit is not listed with UL, CE, or any other reglatory agency, judging by the lack of stamps, insignia, etc.I was pleased to see that the relay inside is appropriately over-sized, with a rating of 40A at 250VAC, that allows plenty of comfort zone to run moderate-size loads such as blowers, fans, lights. Also very encouraged to see a suitably beefy-looking R/C snubber circuit on the back (with the relay) to help suppress relay-open arcing & increase relay life.Typical minimum electrical life of the relay contacts is at least 10^5 (100,000) cycles, with a minimum mechanical life of 10^7 (1 million) cycles. Ususally it's the electrical contacts that give out first, at least if there is much current going through them.So, I believe the expected lifetime of this unit will vary greatly, mostly depending on how hard people use it. If you are switching a 1500W heating coil or large fan every 5 minutes, that's 300 cycles a day at high load and the relay might fail in just 4 or 5 weeks.If you're just switching a 25W LED light bulb 4 times a day, the relay might last for decades.Safety notes: there's no fuse in the unit. It is also quite possible that when the relay fails, it will "fail closed," powering the circuit indefinitely (like a light switch turned on,) which could be a serious fire/safety hazard depending on your application.
