Worried about throwing away money on electricity because someone forgot to turn off the lights? Install the INSTEON SwitchLinc Relay Countdown Timer, and you won't have to worry any more. Just replace your existing wall switch with the new INSTEON SwitchLinc Relay Countdown Timer, and it will turn off all by itself! This is a perfect switch for the kids' room or for the bathroom fan that you always leave on. It works as a standalone wall switch timer or with your INSTEON network, adding local countdown timer control to your INSTEON network without computer-controlled timer software.Press the paddle top to turn on the switch and activate the built-in timer, which will automatically turn the light off in 15 minutes. Tap the paddle top again, and the light will stay on for 1 hour. Each additional tap will add another hour to the timer, up to a maximum of 24 hours. If you would like the SwitchLinc Timer to act like a standard switch, press and hold the paddle top for about 2 seconds, and it will stay on until you turn it off. This INSTEON-compatible switch can still be controlled like any other INSTEON device. The INSTEON SwitchLinc Relay Countdown Timer can control up to a 600-watt incandescent load or 13A resistive load. Note: When you use another INSTEON device to control the switch or use the SwitchLinc Timer to control another INSTEON device, the timer function does not apply.
