wireless timeswitch without thermostat?

Oct 12, 2010 5 Replies

I'm looking for a timeswitch where the clock/user interface is a battery powered wireless unit, talking to a remote mains powered receiver with a relay output.



I've seen some wireless CH programmers which will probably do the job if I can't find anything else, but they tend to have a large temperature display and temp controls, which I'd like to avoid if possible. I can subvert the thermostat function by setting the setpoint high and/or hacking the internal sensor, but was wondering if anyone had come across a wireless 'timer only' product


powered wireless unit,

hacking the internal

I can't think offhand of a high volume application for such a device hence possibly why there is not one on the market. If you are forced inot to improvisation, maybe a remote controlled socket might be a cheaper starting point than a CH controller? The push button unit could be bodged onto an alarm clock or similar pehaps.

Good Luck

Google 'Wireless timer switch' seems to find several, or have I misunderstood the requirement?

I can't see that it's such an obscure requirement to have an accessible timeswitch (and override button) to control a remote load without wiring - CH is the obvious mass market but there must be others, although mine is a bit of an extreme-niche application, where neat & professional appearance is paramount.

All I've found so far are wireless timer+thermostat combos, and a Honeywell "wireless time switch " programmer which is a wired programmer with an internal receiver for wireless temperature sensors.

ywell "wireless time switch "

less temperature sensors.

What about

temperature sensors.

Looks a bit of an oddball - looking at the manual it appears to be just an 'on for x mins' when button pressed thing, not a proper timeswitch
