Timer SwitchA Timer Switch is Inexpensive and Most are Extremely Easy to Program.A timer switch can be used to give the impression someone is at home and make burglars think twice. Hey! There is a great movie showing at your local cinema. It is getting rave reviews and is an old fashion family movie. So you and your family will be out for the evening, why not, it's been a time since you've done this, it's going to be fun. That leaves your home in total darkness, not a good idea, an invitation for a burglar. So you leave the porch light on, but lots of folks do that when they are out, it's a good welcome home. Perhaps then you leave one or two rooms lit up. . . but does that fool the thief? How would a burglar know whether there is someone home or not? Having the brass neck to walk up to your door and stab his finger on your doorbell would only tell him that nobody came to the door. That would not tell him for sure that nobody is at home. Some people, and with good reason, do not answer their door unless they are expecting a visitor. One or two rooms with the lights on may make him uncertain, so what does he do? He may give up and seek another target, or he may decide to keep watch awhile. A room or two constantly lit does not represent a normal pattern. In an occupied home somebody is going to go into the kitchen to make themselves a coffee. Somebody is going to use the bathroom. The watching thief notes the lack of signs of people moving about their home, he concludes there is likely nobody at home and makes his move. With the same home protected by a timer switch, or switches, the bathroom light could come on once in a while, a bedroom light could illuminate just long enough to give the impression that someone had grabbed a sweater. This would make the burglar much more uncertain. Of course he knows that homeowners can use a time switch to fool him, but with the extra uncertainty he is more likely to move on. Your radio and TV can also be controlled by a timer to give an illusion of occupancy, ( keep in mind though that most modern televisions cannot be switched on by a time switch, they require the pressing of a button or use of the remote as well as the introduction of power.)
A Timer Switch to Suit Your Needs.You can purchase timers with a variety of available settings. Some programmable timer switches provide up to six on/off settings per day and some provide a random setting which eliminates predictability. You can have a timer that you can program a setting for Monday to Friday and a different setting for the weekend, or a different setting for each day if you wish. How about a time switch that calculates when to switch on and for sunset and sunrise by the longitude and latitude for your area.
