Can it be set so that it turns on by a power switch? I'd like to use it with an outlet timer so it turns on at a specified time.

I would say so, if, the Vornado plug outlet was wired into the power switch. My Vornado goes on with a timer. Works very well.+

You sure could do that. Just set it to your choice of fan speed, heat setting, etc. with the outlet timer ON, leave the heater at that desired settings, timer goes OFF so does the heater and then it will come to life when the timer energizes the heater. Guess the only issue would be if your timer has the appropriate rating to operate the heater.

Yes you could use a timer (best to check it can handle 1500 watts or 700 High or low setting) .. you could with this model. will not reset when turned off

It neither has a timer nor an on/off-switch. It is operated by plugging it into the outlet to start it, and plugging it out to stop it. In this sense you can time it by purchasing a timer-unit for a few dollars to put on your outlet.

It does not include a timer feature. You could probably plug it into a timer outlet like those sold to turn lights off and on and accomplish what you want to do.

It's not supposed to be -- I asked my electrician to and he refused. I instead had the power outlet attached to the wall switch so I can turn it on and off like that. I was pretty disappointed about that.

Yes you would have to reset the timer if you flip the on/off switch. This is for things like a fan,washer,dryer,and so on. I use these power con servers on my washer and massage chair. Hope this helps you.

No timer or power switch. Just a temperature control. To time it, you would need an external timer switch rated for at least 700 watts -- the power rating on the heater/blower unit. The timer will need a three-prong (grounded) outlet, as well. One listed on Amazon is the "Woods 50009 Indoor 7-Day Heavy Duty Digital Outlet Timer with 2-Outlets."

Wow this is quite an ancient post. So far I've looked over the large sheet of directions and set up a few programmable times. Unfortunately nothing has indicated to me that each of the outlets can be timed individually. As far as custom times, you can set 1 turn on time and 1 turn off time on four different programmable settings. For example, program 1 could be set to turn on at 6 AM and to off at 7 PM while program 2 (if selected) could be set to turn on at 6 AM and turn off at 5 PM.

If you want it off at specific times you can attach it to a cheap timer you can get in any harddware store for a few bucks. The reason you can do that with this unit is that i has an automatic power interruption/restoration restart feature. External timers are equivalent to power failure, and most brands stay off after interrupted power comes back - not this one. The timer built in selects short intervals for round clock on-off, which is not what you want.

No, the power switch is a dial, so it would be on the same setting when the power comes back on.

No, you have to manually hit the switch. Even if you hook it to a timer, I don't think it would work. Once the cycle is finished, it stays in the on position, and the manual states if you need to run it twice, turn off for 10 seconds to reset it.

I would think if your outlet is the item that's programmable, that it should, but I can't say for sure. I do know that the item itself can be set to turn on only when it gets a certain temp, much like a thermostat. Not sure if that helps

This timer will not do it . Check with the electrical department at home depot or menards. They have a timer that can do what you want.

It does not internally turn the outlet on or off. However, you should be able to wire the switch and the outlet either way you want the outlet to work.

I had the same problem with my switch trying to use it for a 12 volt outdoor light. Power going in, light fixture works when connected directly to the battery, but timer does not work. I am past the 30 days, so.....

It won't by itself. I think you can set like 23 different on/off settings. The shortest time interval is a minute though. I attached a separate timer that turns on for 11 seconds to feed fish in a tank every two days. This timer actuates the other timer that then runs a motor for a specific amount of time. It was a HeroNeo® 12v Home Automation Delay Timer Control Switch Module Digital Display LED.

If you're not worried about the "safety" aspect, I've plugged mine into the same kind of timer I use for the lights when I'm on vacation. However, mine is really old, so I don't know if the electronic timer ones will go on for a pre-specified time at a pre-specified setting or if you have to set that info at the moment you power it on.

I do not believe a timer would work with this item.When it comes back on after losing power it stays in the off position.
