Do you have to be in the same wi-fi network to change the timer settings or turn-on or turn-off the lights, or can I do it via internet?

It works very well with IFTTT.com (if this than that site) you can set up all kind of rules to turn on and off your device and you could activate the rule from any browser activated device.

It has to be done using your phone, but your phone doesn't have to be on the same network while doing it. You first connect the unit using your phone and during the configuration, which is pretty easy but takes a couple of minutes for everything to connect to each other, but after that you should be good to go. I have used it over the data connection on my phone and not connected to wi-fi and had it work just fine. Plus, setting up the automatic on/off makes it even more convenient.

I use my phone to access the wemo, right now I'm in Texas and I could turn my lights on and off even thou there in wisconsin

Nope, you can change the settings over the internet anytime and Tavon is right that only the setup has to be done on the same network.

You can alter settings from any wifi network via the iOS applications. Hope that helps.

You have to be in the same wifi network to set it up, HOWEVER only for that step. For doing anything else (turning off/on, timers, etc) you can do it via your device's internet after opening the Android/iOS application. I'm not sure about doing it from the internet (as in, logging in to a website from a computer to allow access to the controls).

I'll share how we use ours, and perhaps that will help you. The can lights on our porch are on a photocell so they come on when it gets dark outside and turn off in the morning when it gets light. The electrician wired it with a switch inside so we could turn them off if desired. We put this timer in place of the switch and programmed the timer to turn the lights off at 10:30 pm and turn them back on at 5:30 am. It works beautifully. It overrides the photocell during the night, and then the lights turn off when the photocell recognizes enough daylight. Some nights we manually turn the lights off with the switch. The lights always turn on at 5:30 in the morning as programmed. I'll share how we use ours, and perhaps that will help you.

I'm not aware of this function being available. The nightlight looks pretty simple, so I would be shocked if there was any ability to control the timer.

NO OPTION whatsoever. When you turn it on then all the lights light up. No control if you only want white, red, or blue. Their "ON" all at the same time.

Sorry, I use the timer on the only switch that controls that particular light. As for three-way operation, the only things I would know would be what is in the instructions.

I go into settings and wireless & networks will be the first you see! You should see the WiFi on/off switch! I usually have to turn it on that way

Yes it can be set without wifi also if lights go out programming stays as before

Yes. The photo control is a separate, hard wired piece. You can just disconnect it and wire directly to the "lamp" wires. But consider this - you don't need the light when it isn't dark, so you turn on the switch anytime during the day if you want the light. When it gets dark, it comes on. If you do not want the light, leave the switch off. You get the best of both worlds there. (Mine are like that). Because they are instant-on you can turn them on/ off at any time.

You need to hold the button in the back, cycle through the different configurations. I forget the order - but something like - hold it for 2 - 3 seconds, the light stays on, hold it again for 2-3 seconds, the light works with the wireless device. Hold it again for 2-3 seconds, the light cycles off.

I believe you can turn if off using the pin they provide you with to initially turn it on. To turn it ON you insert the pin in a small hole till it clicks. This is the ON position. Using the same pin you reinsert the pin into a different hole till you hear a click and it is OFF. The "holes" are marked ON/OFF and are easily found. Putting it in OFF disables the light. If you enable it again by turning it ON with the pin/hole it remains very dim at night. There is no simple switch to turn it on/off as the light seems it was designed to be on most of the time.

It can be done but not that practical. My light is connected to a wall switch that I can turn on or off. The key is you have a built in timer that is activated with motion to turn light on when dusk approaches. The timer is turned off if you turn switch off then on again. I know the instruction tell you how long you need to wait if you want to back to motion use but this will put light on until you decide to turn it off again. They also make similar lights that are not motion activated. This may be your best approach.

This is an excellent timer, and I have installed several. However, if you use the automatic DST feature to constantly adjust the "ON" time as the seasons change, then the length of time that the lights remain "ON" will constantly change as well. What I means is that in the programming mode, you would have to select a specific time for the lights to turn back "OFF". If the current automatic DST sunset brings the lights on at 8:00pm, you could program the "OFF" time as 10:00pm. However, in a few months the sunset time will automatically adjust to 5:30pm (depending where you live of course) however the "OFF" program will remain at 10:00pm. In most cases this isn't a problem, in fact it's usually a convenient solution for most lighting control. Hope this helps. P.S.- I find these timers to be way easier to program than any other in the wall timer I've encountered, and there are no batteries to change.

Yes! You will have the choice to turn your light on/off using your switch, as well as setting it for motion security.

No you cannot. We bought parts at Radio Shack and made our own switch allowing us to control on/off for each light.

Your Timer has Light Sensor as well Digital time program. This timer is done with Red and Green Pins the red for the time you want the lights to go off and the green for your lights to come on. I have both and prefer the Pin Timer

yes, you need to connect to day time runnning lights connection, it will be on whenever day time running lights are ON.

I believe that you will need to adjust the timer. There are various settings that you can adjust to meet your lighting and security purposes. You may have the timer set in the test position. I would check here first, the switch is located on the bottom side of the sensor.
