How do you clear the additional schedules if you only want the 1st schedule running?
This product is tricky. I even returned one. I finally read a review that help me program the timer strip. Basically 2 rows of outlets – one timed the other not timed. I pulled the plastic strip on the back to start the clock battery. Programmed the clock with clock day-hour- minute (am/pm). So far so good. Next, able to program like 7 different stops and gos. Seems excessive. I just wanted cable box off at 11 pm and on at 6:00 am. So pressed Prog for program 1. Next pressing Day button pressed until all 7 days showed up. Pressed hour on at 6 am and off at 11 pm. One program and done. Now the Mode is also tricky. Has Auto, Off and On. I was setting the strip up around 10 am when I was all set and place the Mode to Auto. Plugged the thing in, turned on the red power switch. Nothing happened. No power. Placing the Mode to On- that worked. Off that also worked. Just no power with auto. Here is the trick. Return to the Program 1 time ON and set it for a couple minutes from now. Say 10:15 am. Then the power strip, in the AUTO mode, will trip the circuit. On came the power. Go back to Prog 1 time On and reset back to 6 am. Now it works regularly. Instructions were not much help. Good luck.
I just set mine up and my lights were on and when I switched to auto they turned off even though there was still another 5 minutes before they were to shut off?
Thank you soo much
Thank you
can you program individual outlets?
Mine has an RDM setting after auto. It dosen't work when it's on auto but it works when on RDM…. need to do some research to find out why.
Thanks for the video the instructions they give u suck but yours were very good
Great instructions – the ones that came with it totally confused me . Thank you
Ty, the tutorial was so helpful and easy to follow
Very helpful and straightforward, I wish all YouTube how-to videos were like this. Thank you!
I wish the instructions that came with the power strip were as easy to follow as this video.
Thank you, Well done!
Brooo what its 215 when i was programing the time
Hello where to buy of this amazing power strip?
I have set it up for on at 6 am and off at 9 pm every day for every program, I can only get lights on when set to on. Doesn’t work on auto.
You’re awesome! Thank you ! Made setup a breeze . I appreciate your video 😊
Hey, I'm trying to find a troubleshooting guide online and can't find any. I had my strip plugged in and programmed, working for a couple months, but we had to move it, and now the display isn't turning on. Any tips or places to look for ideas?
I didn't have any instructions in the box. Now thanks to you I'll be able to use it!
Great video! Does anyone know what battery this takes on the back side? Mine is missing and I don't have the packaging. I don't see a size any where on it. Thanks!
Excellent instructions. Thank you very much.
ty!
Thanks. Much more straight forward than the "instructions" included in the product.
This product is garbage
Unhelpful, I trying to set 2 different programs
Super easy and straightforward, thank-you for saving me time! You are an amazing <insert proper pronoun here> and a scholar! I wish all YT tutorials were as easy as this!
Soooo…. whats RDM mode?
Hi there, do you know if this device (or one outlet) can perform multiple cycles within a 24h day??
This video is a life-saver. I lost the paper instructions to my bar and couldn't recall how to program it. Thank you for making this helpful tutorial.
This product is garbage. Mine does not work!
Thankyou sooooo much for posting this video…so wish I had checked out YouTube before spending so much time trying to program this thing. It’s crazy how the instructions are not clear and leave out important information. Thanks too to Zee Bog for valuable input! Now maybe I can plant my seeds!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thanks for the video. This is the absolute worst product I've ever dealt with. Absolutely unusable without resorting to tricks to get it to work. But the video was informative.
How do you get the 2 programming to work though?
Don’t buy these
I'm trying to get this strip to turn on 3 different lights on and off at 3 different times on a terrarium. I have the first 3 outlets connected. Each outlet is programmed for a different on and off time. It's set for every day and it's on AUTO. This morning, all the lights came on at 7AM instead of 7AM, 7:30, and 8AM as programed. If it matters, I programmed the unit in the evening when the lights would be off. ANy idea what I'm doing wrong? It doesn't seem too complicated.
You save me every year… thank you !!!!
Can anyone help me?! I programmed my strip to have the daylights come on at 7am and off at 7pm. But for two days it would only have the night lights on and never changed to the daylights. Does anyone know how I can fix it??
Very clear!! Thanks. I was going to NOT buy it because all the reviews said it was impossible to program. You changed my mind.
what batter does this take as a back up?
Anyone else having issues that it doesn’t turn on in auto mode?
I can't get the timer to work as scheduled. I think my power strip is defective. Every time I change the aquarium light plug to see which outlet is programed, the timer resets itself.
But how do you set each of the four plugs to turn on at different times????
Oh man, someone help me! The left side of the power strip doesn’t give power. I have it set to automatic, all outlets on the same time for grow lights. The right side all works, but I can’t figure out the left side!
So helpful! Thank you, thank you!
I appreciate this video very much, thank you for your time!
Buying online link pls.
