Does not fulfill its main function - turns on the light automatically!

I have a string of lights on my patio that I wanted to turn on at dusk and turn off a few hours later. It seemed to fit the bill perfectly. I did as I said and put it in the sun, but it didn't come on the first day. Period. On the second day it turned on at dusk but turned off after 10 seconds. Then back. Then back off. Do you understand. I dreamed that I was in a nightclub. It seemed to work for three days when it turned on and then turned off after 2 hours of my choice. But then, after 30…

Christmas lights will never be easier!

This item is so amazing I had to buy a second one! Just plug it in outdoors and make sure the photo sensor is pointing in a direction where it can receive light (don't keep it covered). When it gets dark enough, your lights will turn on automatically. What I love about these smart plugs is that they are 1) weatherproof and 2) adapt to winter's ever-changing twilight times. It always turns on in the dark, which is great as the nights get darker and earlier towards the end of December. it runs…

Item returned, typical low quality product this site is known for

I've enjoyed a different brand of photosensor timers for years as I can't stand the buzz of mechanical timers. When my favorite brand was sold out, I tried one of these. First, this timer looks so cheap and low quality it's ridiculous. Although it claims to be suitable for outdoor use, I wouldn't dare. Secondly, I ordered a BN Link brand timer but the packaging and support email said it was Century even though someone had put some cheap BN Link stickers on the real timer. What's happening? In…

Terrible rubbish - bought 2 units that only worked for 2 weeks

I bought 2 of these for our outdoor Christmas lights last year. Last year we used them for 3 weeks. They worked well for the first 2 weeks and then after a snow storm we noticed the lights wouldn't come on at night unless we unplugged the unit and restarted it each morning. In December of that year, one unit was not working at all, except for manual on/off, and the other unit was randomly working. Some nights the lights never came on at night. Sometimes they would turn on at night but turn off…

Overall a good timer, except.

Overall this is a good little timer with dual socket support. Pretty simple about the amount of time you want to set the timer for, 2 hours 4 hours. As for my exception, part of my review of this theCon timer. So if for example your time is set to 4am and it gets very dark due to a storm. The photo turns on the light and starts the timer for a 4-hour period you set. Well, if that storm happens in the middle of the day. I believe that the photocell should see that it's no longer dark outside and

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Expensive

Turns on but never turns off. UPDATED see below

UPDATE: October 4, 2018 Century has requested an update. The light controlled outdoor landscape lighting each night, turning on and off at a previously problematic 2 hour setting. There were no problems with this device. Upgrade to 4 stars. UPDATE: On July 5th, 2018 Century made available another device that I installed last night that shut down correctly after a 2 hour setup. Upgrade to 3 runs, the upgrade will be made in due course based on the current performance of the product. I have to…
