timer switches
Automated outlet controllers
Timer switches are electrical switches that automatically turn circuits on or off at preset times or after specified intervals.
They control lighting, appliances, and HVAC systems for convenience, energy savings, or security—making a home appear occupied while owners are away.
Some are mechanical with rotating dials; others are digital with programmable schedules.
