Long Lasting Power Point Timers

Hi Forum, I’m in the market for a timer or two.

The reviews on Bunnings website suggest the smart ones do not last. Should I get a basic analogue one to save myself some hassle down the line? What do you use that has lasted long enough?

  • Long-Lasting Power Point Timers

    How long? 5y or 10y, I have both analogue and smart that have been working for years. Even if they don't last, they are cheap anyway!

    • I’d be happy with 5y. It’s not so much as the cost but the time to get a new one and set it up. Which ones have you been using?

      • HPM 24hr Analog Timer and TP Link as smart one

        • I also have the HPM analogue timer, and have been using it since 2017 with no problems.

  • IKEA Tretakt $12 at that price I think I'm not bothered about longevity but haven't owned them long term

  • The reviews on Bunnings website suggest the smart ones do not last.

    Ignore the reviews

    What do you use that has lasted long enough?

    Yeh i have been using the TP Link Kasa wifi timer for years and its never missed a beat. I have mine to auto switch on the external HDD to backup the NAS and then switch off a day later. It connects to wifi seamlessly.

    It's so easy. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-an-on-scre…

    I recommend also including some snappy wordart and clipart to make the page pop.

  • I have TP Link and Arlec Grid Connect smart pugs, all of them are probably 4-5 years old and I have have had no failures or issues with either brand.
