A timer socket is a must-have gadget for your home

Hello dear subscribers and guests of my channel! Today I want to tell you about an extremely useful gadget and this is a socket with an on and off timer. Interested? Then let's get started.

Timed socket - purchase and delivery

As you probably already understood this gadget, I went to buy not anywhere, but the well-known an online store from the Middle Kingdom, and an outlet with a mechanical timer cost me 401.49 rubles with a free delivery.

An outlet with an on and off timer came in this package.

And inside, except for the outlet itself, there is nothing else.

So, there are no instructions, but there is such an encryption:

Let's decipher it:

Present time - current time.

Setting Pin underneath ON Time - Setting the switch-on time.

Setting Pin Top OFF Time - Setting the shutdown time.

Socket controls with timer

So, in a particular model, the following controls are implemented:

In addition, there is such a red lever.

Which has three provisions:

• Top - the timer is excluded from the work and you just have the most common outlet.
• Medium - the timer you preset is running.
• The bottom one simply unplugs the outlet, that is, you don't have to pull it out of its seat.

As you can see, everything is extremely simple, but for a better understanding, let's figure out how to set the socket timer.

Setting the outlet timer

So let's move on to setting up a socket with an on and off timer. To do this, we first need to set the current time, and for this we turn the mechanism clockwise arrow (the direction of rotation is also indicated by the arrow), then pressing the blue divisions as follows way:

We are setting up the shutdown time for our outlet, that is, if the mini switch is released, it means that the outlet will not work during this period of time:

The blue switches are recessed down, which means the outlet is working during this period.

Important. When setting, you depress the mini switches. So each switch corresponds to 15 minutes of time.

In addition, be sure to take into account the fact that the timer works only when there is voltage in the outlet.

Let's imagine the following picture: you set everything up as you need, put the device on, and it works properly, but then an opportunity happened and your light was turned off for about 1 hour.

So, at the time when the light is off (no voltage comes to the outlet), the clockwork will stand, that is, after turning on light, the socket will start up again, but at the same time it will lag behind real time just as much as it was turned off shine.

This is an important nuance, which suggests that it is necessary to periodically check the current time at the outlet itself.

Now you know how to set up the socket timer and what features it has.

Who needs a timer socket?

A logical question, isn't it? In fact, it is not difficult to find an application for such a socket. Anyone who is engaged in their household understands how important it is to maintain a certain mode in the room, and with the help of such an outlet you can configure the inclusion of lighting, heating, blowing, etc., which will allow you to maintain a certain microclimate in the desired ranges.

For example, you need to set up watering for your garden. Using this socket, you program the switching on and off of the pumps and your garden is irrigated fully automatically.

So, in fact, a socket with a mechanical timer is an analogue of a smart socket, which does not need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network.
