Reddit mentions of Honeywell Home RPLS740B1008 Econoswitch 7-Day Programmable Light Switch Timer, White

I have a Honeywell programmable light switch that knows sunrise and sunset for wherever you live. It comes on at dusk and turns off when I want. So I never have to turn the porch lights on or off, and it looks like I'm home when I'm away.

All 3 lights are controlled by a single switch??? If so, one of these might work

I think the solution you're looking for lies in the switch not the light. I just recently switched my front outdoor lights to a timer switch that has 7 days of programming available. You enter where you live and adjusts for when the sun rises and sets. You can also program a particular time as well for it to shut off or turn on. So far it works great and was a fairly easy install.

• Replace all toilet seats with soft-close models.
  
• Add timer switches to all bathroom exhaust fans (https://www.amazon.com/Leviton-LTB30-1LZ-Incandescent-Resistive-Inductive-5-10-15-30/dp/B002WTC91K)
  
• Add timer switch that tracks sunrise/sunset for lights you want on at night like front porch (https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-Econoswitch-RPLS740B-Programmable-Switch/dp/B004AP92N2)

greyam already covered how to get if off.

I'm not sure if you just don't like the timer in general or where this switch is, but I replaced a switch with one of these fancy timers that also has a simple on/off switch. It's nice and even has a "vacation" mode if you're into that sort of thing (randomly turns lights on and off during "on" times).

Yep! It’s pretty cool. Turns off in the morning. Here’s the link:

My husband wants one of these so I will probably get it for him.

+1 for keeping it simple. A smart switch could certainly do this but I wouldn't set up a home automation system for a single light.

Your call of course, but I'd feel a bit weird having a light with no user-operable switch. You could put in a programmable timer which keeps the light on for a set time every day. If the light is already on they would be less inclined to mess with it. And you could still turn it on if necessary. I have this one, highly recommend it. It has a feature to come on/off at sunrise and/or sunset plus an offset feature. I have mine come on 20 mins after sunset and go off at 11:00, it handles all the seasonal variation in sunset just fine. I've had mine a bit over a year and I haven't touched it since the original programming.

We have a Honeywell astro-timer switch for our front yard lights. Love it. I set it 2 years ago and it's never not worked. Best part about it is that it never needs adjustments throughout the year. It already knows based on the date when dusk/dawn is. All I had to do is set what time I want them to shut off.

The added bonus for us is that there's also an outdoor outlet on that leg. So we run all our holiday lights off it and everything comes on and shuts off together.

You could have 2 next to each other (they're standard single-gang size). But in your case, you could probably get one and tie the two switch legs together.

it's not exactly a "smart" switch, but i got this switch that lets you plug in your lat/lon, date, and time, and it automatically flips the lights on at dusk and on at dawn based on a preprogrammed schedule. this handles my front porch light and my driveway light. it can also be programmed to turn off at a specific time if you don't want the light on all night long, but i have LEDs in so i just keep them on all night. there's also a button that will let you control the lights off schedule as well.

very easy to install, requires zero intervention once programmed. i'm strongly considering getting a second to control my side porch light as well.

How about a timer instead? I have a programmable timer on my front light that automatically comes on at sunset and shuts off at 10pm (or a different time you program). And recognizes changes in sunset times.

This sounds like the BS I went through with my grandmother. She was entirely focused on photoelectric eyes for dusk-and-dawn and didn't respond to the idea of motion sensing or timers. The result was a lot of halogen lights that would stay on for 12 hours at a time and burned out fairly quickly and attempts at CFLs that burned out even quicker due to the photoelectric eye.

LEDs are likely to run cool enough that they won't care about an enclosure... mine don't. I'd also recommend a 7 day timer like this solar one, that adjusts to date-based dusk/dawn cycles. https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-Econoswitch-RPLS740B-Programmable-Switch/dp/B004AP92N2

I’ve had good luck with just daylight led bulbs. Just amazon the daylight led t8 bulbs. You can also hook up a timer switch to mock daylight hours. Honeywell Home RPLS740B1008 Econoswitch 7-Day Programmable Light Switch Timer White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004AP92N2

I keep them 6-24 inches from the plants with a small fan to help them dry out between watering

I'm off next week. On the docket for this weekend and next week:

• Edging the landscape. I think it looks best when I use an edger and keep it flush all season using a string trimmer. It's a bit of a PITA to get setup every spring, though.
  
• I have two crepe myrtles I cut down to the ground because I screwed up the last time I "trimmed" them (I cut them off at about 2' above the ground and then just let them go). I need to figure out how to get them to grow back from the root stock in the best way possible. I'm thinking about drilling holes in the root stock and stuffing the new shoots exactly where I want them. I have no idea if it'll work, though.
  
• Installing another flood light timer for the back lights like the one we have for the front lights. I can't find the breaker, so I'm going to have to turn 'em all off until I find it.
  
• Sanding and staining the stairs. We've painted the walls using Behr Marquee Iron Gate and decided to change the color of the bannister and hardwood oak in the entryway from this golden pecan color to a dark walnut color.
  
• Getting a permit to put in a fence.
  
• Replacing the rear exterior door because the door frame is rotting.
  
• Installing an outlet and transformer for exterior deck lighting.
  
• Scrubbing and sealing the deck. It's western red cedar. We haven't been staining it, so after it gets a bit weathered, all that's needed is some Oxi-Clean, some water, a stiff brush, and some elbow grease. We've been putting TWP on, but I kinda want to try out Sikkens Cetol SRD.
  
• Plugging our weep holes with some sort of mesh screens. I see wasps fly in and out of these things every now and then and since we have mulch up next to the house and I've seen subterranean termites around, I don't want any way for those fuckers to get in. We haven't seen any mud tubes, but I'm going to put out some termite pest control liquid at the base of the brick anyway. Termites scare the crap out of me.
  
• I cut down two diseased arborvitaes in the front yard and now I have to figure out how to pull the roots out. I'm not looking forward to this one.
  
• If time and weather permits (figures that it's supposed to rain most of the week next week), I have a bunch of cedar 2x4s, aluminum balusters, and the hardware to put a gate on the deck. I'm really hoping to be able to get to this, simply because I want an excuse to pull out the mitre saw and cut some cedar.
  
  I think that's about it.
  
  Edit: We're staining the stairs, not painting them. Also clarify that we painted the walls and link the paint we used.
  
  Edit #2: I threw my back out digging underneath the sink looking for a vase to put some flowers in for mother's day. My week of home improvement activities just turned into a week of me struggling to take a shit.

You're interested in a smart switch that's aware of sunset, right? You want a switch to go on at or some time after sunset, and then go out after an interval or at a set time?

Check out this and this

They have internal batteries that keep the clock going during power outages.

This is the switch that I have: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AP92N2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you literally just want the light off/on at certain times and don't need to control it remotely, get a Honeywell Econoswitch RPLS740B 7-Day Solar Time Table Programmable Switch. No hub required.

I recently replaced my porch light switch with one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AP92N2 It turns them on at sunset, off at sunrise, auto adjusts with the day of the year, and self adjusts for daylight savings time.

Depending on your use cases "home automation" doesn't mean you have to tie it into a hub or do something fancy - it simply means automating what you would do manually. I'm extremely happy with my timer so far.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but I have this and works great. Always when dark and I use LED bulbs so the electricity wont cost too much.

First I just had lamps on something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Woods-50007-24-Hour-Digital-Settings/dp/B005WQIDHY/ you probably can find something like this much cheaper.

I ended up installing a switch like this: http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-Econoswitch-RPLS740B-Programmable-Switch/dp/B004AP92N2/

Use something like this. Set it and forget it.

I put up 2 standard light fixtures on either side of my garage. I then replaced the actual light switch (I'll see if I can find link) with one that you program date and time. It then turns itself on at dusk, off at dawn. Been going strong for about 8 years.

Edit: Not the exact one I have, but essentially the same thing.

Thank you so much for the response

1. I want the lights to come on in the morning to help me wake up (and stay up) on time.
   
2. The room is in the basement, it's my bedroom, and the lights are fluorescent tube light bulbs.
   
3. One of the switches controls the ceiling lights and these are the main light source in my room. The other switch controls a tiny light in the closet and it barely serves a purpose. I've never turned it on deliberately. I wouldn't realize if the switch disappeared and I turned the switch box from a double into a single. I found a switch on amazon that I was interested in, and I think this would fit (link below). I think the switch box is standard size for a single switch box.

   I would prefer that both lights don't come on together. I also don't care for how the switch looks at all, I'm only concerned with function.

alternately, if you have many light bulbs on your porch, this dusk to dawn switch: https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-Econoswitch-RPLS740B-Programmable-Switch/dp/B004AP92N2

you could also get an internet-connected smart switch if you plan on building out more of a smart home, but this is great as a standalone.

it's very nice to get home at night with the porch lights already on, and not have to keep adjusting a mechanical timer as the days get longer or shorter.

Thanks for the sugestion. I will just go ahead and try it this way. so something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-Econoswitch-RPLS740B-Programmable-Switch/dp/B004AP92N2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1467182862&sr=8-4&keywords=timer+switch+for+lights

Programmable light switches are super handly for when you're out of town and want to make it look like you're home, and if you're forgetful about turning off lights.

Keypad deadbolt never worry about getting locked out. If someone is house sitting you can give them the code and then change it when you get home.

Energy saving outlets are great for things like charging cell phones or computers and keeping your power bill lower.

Wifi thermostat. I think Nest is overrated and expensive for what it is.

Electric crockpot-pressure cooker-rice cooker-yogurt maker. This thing does it all, seriously. Pressure cookers are awesome for getting things cooked quickly so you can buy cheaper groceries (dried beans vs. canned). Slow cookers are great for tough pieces of meat, roasts, soups... They're also great in summer as they don't heat up the whole kitchen. It being multi-purpose is a bonus for kitchen space.
