Enhance Your La Spaziale Vivaldi S1 A53 Lucca with the Timers.shop Schedule Timer (S1TIMER) Review

I didn't want a clunky interface for programming timers from La Spaziale so this was the perfect solution as it just allows you to bypass the controls and 'quit' " to let state of power. Works great within La Spaziale's "memory" limits for steam boiler mode (which actually means it always seems to turn on).

Why on earth did La Spaziale decide that when you turn the machine on it goes into idle mode by default? I'm not sure. It is this solution that prevents the simple use of a smart socket with La Spaziale. Of course, you can buy their timer for $200, but it's too expensive and ugly. Its function is simple. When the machine is switched on, it switches from standby to ON. This means that with a smart scheduled on/off switch, you can turn on the device before you wake up and give it time to warm up.

Got this for the Clive Coffee LUCCA A53 which is their Vivaldi S1 version. Installation was easy as shown in seller's video and it works exactly as described, by default the machine turns on when power is applied. I use it with a TPLink Smart Switch and a Kasa/Alexa schedule so the machine is up in the morning and off in the evening. Others have already pointed out that this is a little silly - we need an accessory to perform this function, so I won't talk about it. I have a second machine…
