How to set time?I moved into a house that has this for garden lights. How do I set time? Has 2 red tabs and 1 black tab.

This answer from Tim covers it. Mine came with two of each so I can set two on/off cycles. RED=ON time and BLACK=off time I use tweezers for ease in placing them. Once you think you have them right, twist the dial around to make sure they turn on and off. Then set the dial for the correct time.

Both red & black tabs pull straight out. Push them back in at the times you want the lights to go on (red tab) and go off (black tab). If you have 2 red tabs they can be placed exactly side by side, or one red tab can be left out and saved somewhere. Make sure you set the dial (that the tabs go into) to the correct time of day.

Set time of day on center "time of day" dial. Insert red tab at time when you want lights to go on, in pm area; insert black tab at time when you want lights to go out in am (if you want them on all night). If you had 2 each, you could set on/off twice in a 24 hour time. Previous answers are correct...we are all saying the same thing.

There are two sensors inside to the left and right (little round black things), slap some black polish on it. You can now manually control the time. Your Welcome :) Make sure it's unplugged when you do this.

It is supposedly in a timer and there is no way to adjust the time. Honestly you are lucky it lights up at all.

The unit I bought has little pin-like lever switches around the dial. Slide them in or out for on or off. I they are settable in 15 minute intervals - I am very happy with the unit I bought to control lights for starting flower seeds earlier this year.

Push down tabs for the time you want the light to stay on. It's a very easy timer and are definitely better than the dual timers. I just plug a power strip in mine.

Q: Need directions for setting this clock . Time change is needed for standard time from daylight. Lost directions. thanks A: A, B and C buttons are on back. Push the A button to scroll to what you want to change; month, day, hour, minute etc. Then use B button to change what item you want to change. When done push the C button to exit. Pretty easy once you start.

I put my unit in a walk in closet. There is a sliding switch under the cover plate to adjust time options. I never really timed it, but to start out it was set too short. I moved the slider up a little and now it stays on for about 3 minutes, which is just right for me. There is a lot more room to move it up if you want it on for a long time. The motion sensor works well, so if there is any movement in the room, the light will stay on anyway. But in my closet, sometimes a hanging shirt sleeve or something would cover the motion sensor and the light would go off too soon. Seems to be a good unit, and I will probably add more throughout the house when I get time. I put my unit in a walk in closet. There is a sliding switch under the cover plate to adjust time options.

You don't. The veg/flowering it about the time the light is on. The spectrum works got both.

There is a dial on the back. You can set it for, if I remember correctly, 2 minutes, 3, 5,10, 15, and 20. I use mine for basement lighting and set them for 5 minutes - for me this works very well.

I don't know, but I do have a problem setting the time. I noticed the plug has to be pulled out first, and then I still have a problem.

Sorry I threw away the directions. But you can play around with it and figure it out. I think you push and hold the top button until you get hours and you go to the bottom button to set the hour. Push the top button again to get minutes and then set the minutes with the bottom button. Continue to set the day and month.

OK, I just found and changed the AUTO SET and the DST settings. I hope that does the trick. Thanks for the tip!

Up to 8 hours on. No intermittant or random settings. Turns on at dusk. Have you considered a timer with on and off switching? Little on off plastic red and green tabs?

Just make sure you set the new one to the correct time zone. Its buried somewhere in the Honeywell software options. Mine reset to the incorrect time as well (after I manually reset the time.) I'm in AZ and the daylight savings option was throwing everything off.

I would suggest looking up directions because there are several items to be set, time, stations etc. instructions are quite easy to follow. Good luck!

I thought the same thing because the instructions are not so good. There are no tabs. It's difficult to tell by looking at it, but the black ring below the white dial is segmented every 15 minutes. Pushing down on the segments between 8pm & 8am will turn the light on for that time period. Use a pencil if you have trouble getting accurate settings with your finger.

This was a great gift but setting the timer did not seem very intuitive. Unfortunately, the clock was a gift for someone and I don't have access to it to refresh my memory... but I do remember I tried many things and was about to give up... then found directions after an internet search. Wish I could be of more help. Good luck!
