Nice 7 day 8-on, 8-off events any day or days timer Edit July 16, 2013: It stopped working about 3 months ago. The LCD display and button responses all appear normal but the unit does not pass AC current. The LED that indicates the On condition does not shine. I opened it up, saw no irregularities, put it back together. Ultimately I tossed it and bought the GE 15154 Random On/Off 7-Day Digital Timer here on Amazon, which was only $10.18 and has 20 on/off cycles compared to only 8 for this one. My usage is such that the extra cycles are a big bonus. I am so far pleased with the GE, but my experience tells me that longevity is the issue with these timers.- – – -I’ve only had it an hour but I’m already pleased. I have two Intermatic timers, the DT1 and the DT7, which is similar to this Hydrofarm. I outgrew the DT1, and DT7 fulfilled my needs but the buttons have gotten unresponsive to the point where it’s a knock-down-drag-out fight to reprogram it or adjust anything at all, this after having it for maybe 10 years. This Hydrofarm seems to work great. Hopefully, the buttons will remain responsive.You can set up a schedule with up to 8 separate On events and 8 separate Off events. Each single event can be for all days of the week, any one day of the week, Monday through Friday, Saturday and Sunday, all days but Sunday, Monday Wednesday Friday, Tuesday Thursday Saturday, Monday Tuesday Wednesday, Tuesday Friday Saturday. There’s a random mode you can toggle to get from 2 up to 32 minutes of “random” variation.You can override the settings. For instance, suppose right at this moment the timer when according to the schedule would be Off (meaning no power is supplied to the device plugged into it) and you decide you want it On. There’s a button marked ON/AUTO/OFF. The LCD display as you keep pressing that button goes like this: On, Auto, Off, Auto, On, Auto, Off, Auto, On, etc. Thus, if I want it On right now although the programmed schedule has it normally off at this time, I press the ON/AUTO/OFF button and after seeing On in the display I press it one more time so Auto will appear in the display and it will be On and remain On until one of the scheduled events turns it Off, being the schedule taking control again. With my Intermatic DT7 due to the unresponsiveness of the buttons if I wanted to override the schedule I used to have to unplug my device from the timer and plug it into a regular outlet for the time being (if I wanted it On, or leave it unplugged if I wanted it off) and then remember to plug it back into the timer to get back on schedule. Problem solved with my new Hydromatic.I was concerned when I found out that it has a rechargable battery in it that is not replaceable. The Intermatics each use a single AA alkaline battery, obviously replaceable, to retain settings when you remove the timer from AC power. I contacted Hydrofarm and asked about the installed battery and they contacted the vendor and replied to me by email that the internal battery is NiMH. A review here states that the battery is soldered in. It might be replaceable, I don’t know, I haven’t removed the 4 screws and looked inside. However, maybe the installed battery will remain good enough for many years, as long as you don’t remove the timer from AC power for too long. It shouldn’t need much energy to retain information and run for just a few minutes when unplugged.It comes in a hard plastic bubble pack, but that was a pleasant surprise. I didn’t have to use a knife or a scissors to remove it and risk cutting my hands with either a blade or the sharp edge of cut hard plastic. The timer, etc. popped right out with a slight twist. I wish this were more commonly done.It can deliver a lot of power (15 amps) and the price is quite reasonable. I looked all over for 7 day timers and this one won out easily.I scanned and used OCR software on the printed instructions (couldn’t find them online), did a bit of editing to make it more clear and saved as a text file. Here is my improved version:- – – -DIGITAL GROUNDED 7-DAY TIMER1. Press the reset button. (Do this if you want to erase all settings)The reset button is the small round white recessed button on the rightside of the timer face. Use a pointed object to reach it in order toerase all previous programming.2. Set the clock.HOUR: Press the clock button and simultaneously press the HOUR buttonuntil you arrive at the correct hour. (Be aware of AM and PM hours.)MIN: Again pressing the CLOCK button, simultaneously press the MINbutton until you arrive at the correct minute.WEEK: Press the clock button and simultaneously press the WEEK buttonuntil you arrive at the current day of the week.3. Program your settings.Each event is numbered and has a time to come on and a time to go off.You can set 1, 2, or up to n different events using the PROG…
