Bnlink Timers

Timer Plug & Timer Outlet

Timer outlets are an essential component for achieving a smart home lifestyle, especially when your appliances do not yet support smart settings via software. By using timer plugs, you can achieve intelligent management of all your appliances from a hardware level. Timers not only bring more convenience to your life but also help you save energy and enhance home security. BN-LINK timers come in various models, each offering different features, appearances, and applicable scenarios.

Types of Timers

Mechanical timers and digital timers are the most common types. Mechanical timers are economical, simple, and easy to install, making them a straightforward solution for managing lights. Simply turn the dial to the desired run time. Once the dial reaches the end of the timing cycle, the timer will physically break the circuit and turn off the connected appliance. Depending on the model, you can set the timer for anywhere from a few minutes to 24 hours.

Digital timers offer more programming options and can handle more devices. Digital timers usually allow you to edit a schedule for each day of the week (such as a lighting schedule).

Control Methods for Timers

In addition to the standard method of setting the controller on the outlet, BN-Link also offers remote control timer outlets based on RF or WiFi, extending your control over household appliances beyond the limitations of electrical wiring, making your smart home life more comfortable and convenient.

Placement of Timers

Before purchasing, be sure to consider whether you will be placing the timer indoors or outdoors. Indoor timers are very useful when you are out of town. You can program the lights to turn on and off at random times, giving the impression that you are home, which may help deter burglars.

If you need to use a timer outlet outdoors, be sure to choose products marked "Outdoor," as outdoor outlets face more complex environmental challenges such as rain, wind, dust, and direct sunlight. For safety reasons, BN-LINK encloses these timers in sturdy casings to handle these challenges effectively.
