does this turn itself off and on as needed?

The output of the charger does shut off after the battery is fully charged, it will come back on if needed. The charger indicator light stays on, changing from Red to Green showing the current status.

I have not tried this yet. I will this winter. By concept it is supposed to... which is why I purchased it.

Yes it does it goes into a trickle mode to maintain the battery charge level

No, it does not. It turns off and stays off. To turn it back on you have to send it a z-wave command or push the manual control button on the side of the unit.

No, the unit is light-powered and you just put it back when finished and it automatically turns off. I, too, was baffled out of the box looking for off-key.

Ours turns on and off at it's own will. I only use as a clock, expensive clock at that. They tried to put too much in to do and does not work very well. At first it did and I was very pleased. Should have waited to write a review. Sorry.

No, it does not turn on automatically nor do I believe it turns off automatically.

Not necessary. It has an "Auto-off" feature, so you can leave it plugged in.

Yes, it has an auto-off feature. Not sure how long it stays on but it automatically shuts off if left unused within 5 minutes.

Not that I'm aware of. I have forgot to turn it off in the past & go back & it's still on. So, I'm assuming it doesn't. I'm learning to turn it off before I leave the room. But, I've been very happy with it. It does well for what I need. Thanks

No, you have to turn it off yourself by turning the knob on the front and the on-off switch on the lower-left.

No, it doesn't turn off by itself...to my chagrin. I have forgotten it and left it on overnight quite a few times myself.

Yes, it will turn off by itself. It does stay on about a minute or so. I have never timed it. I would suggest using rechargeable batteries.

No. It doesn't even have an on/off switch. Just plug it in and let it go. Or not.

No, you can only use it to set the number of hours it should stay on before turning itself off.

Yes. I don't remember the setting in the menu right off, since I rarely turn it on.

Yes, you can set it to come on at a certain time and off at a certain time. Works great.

No it can not be set to automatically turn on and off. There is an on and off button that's it

Yes it does but T don't recommend this product. It keeps turning itself off.
