I just love your voice because you can tell exactly how enthusiastic you are about your work and it really is infectious (maybe a poor choice of words but I don't know how to get my point across better).
I like that this switch has screw terminals instead of pre-attached wires that you need to use wire nuts/Wagos for. This works well for crowded shallow boxes in older homes. Great video by the way. I really enjoy your content, Bill!
Great to see your building your channel up. Great if you consistently show proving dead with a proving unit, and then lockout and tagout. You have years of experience but good practice always helps for younger sparkies who think working live is the way to go.
Yes, the channel has really been coming back! Almost 60K subscribers now. And to think I had 0 in February 2020! Working on live circuits is a foolish activity except when there is no other way possible. And then all the PPE and insulated tools must be used and it should only be done by pros. Thanks!
Sparky, you certainly have a Teacher's Heart, and a Teaching Spirit! Love the way you name each tool, because many people wonder, "Now what's that thing called?" Very precise and clear video; everything precisely explained. Subscribed & Liked - KUDOS! John 3:16
The one-minute off/on-warning to switch time-out can be kind of annoying when used in a fan timer capacity. It would be nice if the one minute off/on warning was user-selectable and could be disabled. Otherwise, I love the timer.
thanks for the helpful video! I ordered a Lutron timer switch. It doesn't have the screw available for the neutral connect. It only has two screws which I'm understanding to be for both the hot wire (black), Can this timer still be used? I see that the original ON/ OFF did not have a neutral connect
Can you use this timer switch in a 3 way senecio? My kids are constantly turning the garage lights on and they leave the house, only for me to find them on hours later when I return home. I would like to have a timer switch in the mud room, but leave the one by the front of the garage standard.
IMO Leviton is the best for switches, outlets and GFIC's. IMO Lutron makes the best dimmers. Lutron invented the dimmer and they are exceptional in this category. Just my opinion.
@@SparkyChannel I agree their combination AFCI and GFCI receptacle are really high quality I have them on most of my branch circuits in my home and I have tested them so I now how consistently they work and electronically designed which limits false tripping.
If the if you reversed the line and load wires (load to black terminal and line to bronze terminal), will it work without issues? I know reversing these two connections in a “dumb” switch doesn’t matter
In a new condo unit, I had an orange and black wire attached to the existing Decora light switch. However, when I tried connecting the timer switch I had no ground wire. The black is hot, would the orange be considered the load? And is it okay if there is no white ground?
