Bathroom Fan Auto Shut Off 30-15-10-5 Minute Preset Countdown Wall Switch Timer White 30-Minute

I was "bored" so decided to install one of these auto shutoff fan timer switches in our guest bathroom. A number of years ago I installed one of these, but from a different brand I bought locally (and for a lot more money) in our downstairs bath. With more and more company coming in lately, it seemed like a good idea to install one of these that automatically shuts itself off in the guest bathroom for their convenience.The hardest part of the install was all the running around to- and from- the circuit breaker panel outside. My house, having been built in 1993, has the white wire running through all the circuits. I know from experience that this can complicate things a bit when switching out a simple two-black-wire ON-OFF switch to something like this that has two extra wires (the green Ground, and the extra white wire).I took off the plastic switch plate cover (bought a new replacement with the appropriate sized large rectangular hole for this switch online at Amazon....also for a good price, and saving me a trip to the local hardware store for just a few cents more) and, of course...as I anticipated, I guessed wrong the first time around and installed the two black wires backwards the first time.I'm no electrician, but I figured if I get them wrong the first time it just won't come on and I can switch them back, and that's what happened. I installed the Green to the copper ground wire; the White to the white wire bundle coming out of the wall. And one of the Black to one of the black wires, and the Red to another black wire coming out of the wall.It didn't work after I turned the power back on. So I simply swapped out the two Black wire connections and immediately the fan worked perfectly. I tested a couple of the timer settings to make sure the fan shutoff when it was supposed to, and everything was OK.In case anyone is wondering, the red (showing that it's off) and green (indicating the time set for shutoff) indicator lights are not very bright at all. So they won't disturb your night vision. But at the same time they are not bright enough to serve as a "nightlight" for you if that's what you want.This seems like a very sturdy and well-built automatic timer switch that should hopefully last many, many years. Yes, it's a bit "deep", but nothing that's a problem in a more modern home with a standard-depth switch box in the wall.It's relatively easy to install even if you're not much of a handyman like me. And the price was about half of what one in the local hardware store (big box with either yellow or blue motif) would cost.

I had to replace a similar timer switch and it was a pretty straightforward process. I don't know if it explains it in the description but this switch does need the white wire besides the black (hot) and the red.Works nicely

The media could not be loaded. This timed switch was installed and tested all timed intervals and worked. When trim plate was installed, it faulted out and didn’t want to work as shown on the video. Straight up simple wiring without any issues. Sent back and received a replacement the next day.Installed and tested, perfectly working as intended. Protrudes off the trim plate perfectly if you leave it loosely screwed into the electrical box. Works ok for me since it’s next to another switch but if it is the only switch to install, I suggest adding a spacer behind the brackets so it can be tightened to prevent it from moving around. That’s the first design flaw.Secondly, the color as it is shown in the product presentation is white with a slightly off-white label. What I received was an off-white with a white label, opposite from the image shown in the Amazon site. Please see pictures.For the price and what it does, you can’t beat it. I would’ve given 5 stars if the color was right.

The media could not be loaded. I bought three of these because, like every other appliance and light in the house, my kids like to leave the fart fans in the bathrooms, (and laundry room) on unnecessarily. Installation was straight forward, as long as you have some basic electrical know-how (which I feel I do) The switch was large, much larger than I anticipated, which made for a tight fit. They "feel" sturdy, and well built. I installed them today, so if they start giving me trouble, I'll come back and update my review. The button has a nice "click" to it, and the lights will update, showing how much time is left - so if you select 30 minutes, it'll shine for 15 minutes, then the 15 minute light will show, then 10, then 5, which I think is a nice feature.

Works exactly as described. Make sure you have a common AC electrical line in order for this switch to work correctly.

Bathroom Fan Auto Shut Off Timer –This auto shut-off timer did exactly what it was supposed to do, allowing me to set the fan to turn off after 30, 15, 10, or 5 minutes. However, I found that the design wasn’t very aesthetically appealing, which was disappointing.Pros:✔ Works as Advertised – The timer function operated smoothly and reliably.✔ Easy to Install – Simple wiring and setup process.✔ Convenient Preset Options – The multiple time settings are handy for different needs.Cons:✖ Not Visually Appealing – The design looked cheap and didn’t blend well with my bathroom decor.✖ Returned It – Due to the aesthetics, I ultimately decided to return it.Final Verdict:If you’re only concerned with functionality, this timer works well. However, if you care about aesthetics, you might want to look for a more stylish option.– Works fine, but design could be better.
