Hi All,
Bit of a tricky number. I have recently installed lights / fans /toothbrush chargers and shaver sockets to a bathroom and En-suite. The house had been rewired a few weeks before(not by me). I tied into the existing lighting circuit and everything works fine apart from both extract fans...

I have been asked to find a replacement timer for a Sangamo M5. I've done some searching, but frankly came to no obvious conclusion. Not my usual area of work, so I hope someone with recent experience can point me at a suitable model.
We have this type of "mechanical" timer switch to control our central heating, which is Potterton combi boiler. The switch keeps failing after 2-3 years. This is our 3rd replacement now. It starts with central heating turning itself on for no apparent reason, although the switch is in off...
Hello, I am on Economy 7 and I have storage heaters and a hot water tank connected to a separate CU for my off-peak usage. The timer that switches to the off-peak circuit at night on my newly installed SMETS2 smart meter is wrong so I am being overcharged by 50% for my night appliances. The...

I have a 51’ auger I set up with a 425 bu gravity box last year for corn harvest. I run a @600 bu grain cart. But I had to either shut off box, then auger. Or let auger run as I got next dumps from combine. (Or hire person to babysit). So what I want is a 220 volt able to handle @40 amp...
Hi all,
I have a Malibu 120W Light timer for low voltage outdoor lights. When I manually set to ON, the lights go on, so I know the lights are wired correctly. But the timer is set to run off the photocell: lights on at dusk, and off 4 hours after dark. However the lights do not turn on at...

Hi. Has anyone tried the Atoko Fan Select (ATQ6-03)? Its supposed to be an extractor fan timer so you can get delayed start and run-on using a standard fan. They say you can also override the delay and run-on by switching the light - does that really work?

Hi, we have this device in our home and looks like the timer is messed up.
It looks like the timer led is on when not in off-peak hours. I debugged this by just rotating the time dial and the timer led turns off for that 4-5 hours period and the rest of the day when I am turning it is on, so...
