That looks really cool - but the problem is you don't get your light switches back without removing the product.

Not a bad idea for when you go away on hols though.

I've always thought that while the light automation is great - it's not going to open/close your blinds or curtains for you. That's EXPENSIVE to automate.

It seems a bit 'Heath Robinson', it slips over your light switch and pushes the switches for you with some kind of wheel.

It doesn't have the dusk start that the Timeguard one does but, on the other hand, it's twice as much as the Toolstation/Greenbrook one.

I've used these in previous houses and they're fab. The cover flips down into a plan white front and you just press the whole front to use it as a manual over-ride. So I had them coming on in a morning to wake me up, then use it manually the rest of the time. You can also turn off the timer facility altogether. Mine were lost in the house move and I've priced up and this site was the cheapest I could find.

Hope that helps.

Damn, I looked at these before but did not realise they can be used without flipping up the cover - I've brought open display one from Tool Station but tempted to get a replacement now.

Thank you for this though.
