**Update January 29 2025
I purchased this 9 months ago in April of 2023. The past month the timer issues markedly increased and I had to contact them. So 2 weeks ago I sent them a email via their website with screenshots of my review and proof of purchase.
They immediately replied (oddly enough after midnight, lol) to apologize, asked for my mailing address and I received the package just days later. For full transparency, the new one is behaving the same way - once I’ve set it in the AM for the longest photo period, it works as expected for a few days then stops turning on at all.
Five stars to them for standing behind their product, but I have to strongly encourage the company to address the faulty timers. Perhaps clear out remaining stock and be transparent about the defect, source a new timing device and go from there. Even better, just go with an on/off switch so they can be put onto smart plugs etc.
I ignored most of the reviews (tbh as I do half the time) and ordered anyways despite everyone saying the timer is non functional.
It’s not functional, straight out of the box.
Sometimes it stays on 24/7 (which sucks, plants grow straight up at night and don’t reach for the light. Very important for my Hoya vines) but most of the time I turn it on and set the timer - it works for a few days then stops.
It works in such a way you must be present to set it at the time you want it to start, you can’t simply input the current time and it calculates the set period to work. Nor can you use an outlet timer.
I wish I could get my money back or have a new light sent to me to see if I manage to receive one that works reliably.
