Does anyone have this setup using an external timer? I'd like to connect this through a WeMo outlet, but I am not sure if it'll work.

This probably isn't the answer you want but i wouldn't do it, because you would have to fill it up with water overnight and that seems to be the most consistent failure mode. As others have posted only add water just before you use it and empty it completely when done and they don't seem to break then.

It won't work since you need to press a button to get it started. I also have a WeMo Switch and I had this Bodum coffee maker, but it broke after a year and Bodum didn't want to replace it with a new one and instead gave me my money back (after 3-4 months). So regardless of the incompatibility with the WeMo Switch I wouldn't buy it again.

I know this will not help but good luck, my maker stopped working after 2 months. I bought it at J C Penney. They were eliminating Bodum . Bodum did not back it up. POOR SERVICE. When it was working it made great coffee. Good luck

Not the right timer for this application. On startup it counts Down or up immediately. You would need to set up a way to utilize pins 2 & 3 to reset the timer. Usually done with a relay.

not 100% sure but the unit does not work without anything plugged into it. The timer functions when something is plugged into it. With nothing plugged in, there's nothing to turn on and off. Might want to contact the manufacturer. BTW, mine is working great. Using it to turn a pond pump off/on throughout the day to save on electricity. I know that doesn't answer your question but thought I'd throw it in anyway :)))

I use it with a Control4 controlled outlet, but you could also plug it into the wemo by belkin. It has a downloadable app that lets you control it from any smart phone or tablet or wemo wall switch.

Mine has been on for about a month straight, and a timer is no problem. It's the same as if you were to switch the power on and off yourself.

Hi and there is not an outlet ON the crock pot to use a timer, but I think if you plugged the cord for timer into the cord for the crock pot then the timer plug into the outlet it should work.

Yes you can plug to a electric timer. It will be shut down automatically . But it won't be automatically back to normal mode after unplugging then plugging back. You have to use controller to power it on. Hope it helps.

There is not a traditional timer outside the light sensor system. Since I decided to mount my unit inside, I ended up just pluging it in a standard $10 lamp timer which I can set how I want. I just keep the unit pack in the on position.

Hi Si, I tried it with a timer and it did not work. I turned it on for 2 hrs before work and then again when I get home. I had to play with the amount of oils I put in it until I found the amount of drops that works for me (so that it's not too strong or too weak!)

Yup that's what I have mine on. I bought a cheap timer (2 pack Stanley) from Amazon and it works perfectly. I use the timer function all the time and then turn timer off when I want to operate it manually

I have three of the Intermatic timers all work great. I think it's a faulty unit. hope that helps good luck Wayne

How does it turn off but not ON? Is that manually? Or via z-wave commands? If it is Manual issue check your installation, if timer was not installed properly (if it does not fit flush with the wall) then I would re install and make sure this time it installs flush with the wall. A Simpson of this is that it only works on one direction and the other direction seems not to work unless you push really hard on it. If it is via z-wave commands then let me know and I will update this post. Hope it helps

Hi Kim. There is an on off switch on the back of the light. I think you could plug it into a timer without a problem. Sounds like a great idea. Good luck!

I had the same problem. I was able to connect it to my router and to my phone via tethering. The module worked ok only for 6 hours and then stopped working. After a reboot to the system, the control panel continuously rebooted with an error message until the module was removed. Since I had another control panel with the same module that worked OK, I have filed a claim to return the item as I consider it defective. I will get another one.

I had it working with cfl (3x15w + 2x20w). I can't say if that was the cause of the malfunction it had, but mine worked properly for about 2 weeks (on/off daily), and then the chip seemed to go bezerk, as it started to randomly turn on and off (within seconds). From what I have read, cfl's tend to store some energy and release it through their own little transformer (hence hours after you turn a cfl light off, it might give out a small flash). Instead of this one, I recommend the intermatic automatic switch (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005H3AXKM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), have had it now for a few months, and works well. Has the same functions (except the astronomical clock adjustment), plus the timer system is not connected to the electric grid, thus any outages will not fry the timer circuit. It must have a small switch within, as when it turns off/on you can hear a slight mechanical 'click'. Hope it helps.

Would a WeMo Insight Switch from Belkin solve your issue? I use them to turn lamps on and off remotely with timer via wi-fi when I'm not home.

I would avoid this system completely. There are other systems that are worth your time. Take a look at Z-wave compatible devices.WeMo is an unreliable system for a host of reasons.
