Questions about Steffen Time switch

Yes, the unit is absolutely silent.

The difference between a type 13 timer from Steffen and a type 12/13 timer from Hauri lies mainly in the following aspects: - Plug type and compatibility: - The Steffen timer (type 13) uses a type 12 plug and is compatible with type 13 sockets that support up to 10 A continuous load. - The Max Hauri timer (type 12/13) could also be compatible with type 12 plugs and type 13 sockets, but specific details on the plug types and continuous load are not explicitly stated in the sources. - Functions and features: - The Steffen timer (type 13) offers 20 switching programmes, a random generator, countdown function and child lock. It has a minimum interval of 60 minutes and is designed as a digital timer with IP20 protection. - No detailed information on the specific functions of the Max Hauri timer (type 12/13) is available in the sources, but it can be assumed that it may offer less extensive functions than the Steffen timer. - Manufacturer and model: - The Steffen time switch (type 13) is a specific model from Steffen with the manufacturer number 1204422 1. - The Max Hauri timer (type 12/13) is from a different manufacturer and probably has different model features and specifications. These differences show that the Steffen time switch (type 13) offers more extensive functionality and specific technical features that distinguish it from the Max Hauri time switch (type 12/13).

Yes, the "Steffen timer (type 13)" device enables the programming of daily programmes and different intervals on different days. - It offers a weekly programme that makes it possible to define up to 10 switching programmes in 1-minute increments. - The switching cycle can be set individually for different days of the week.

Hello, as far as I know, you can't do that with this device.

Hello, Yes, the SET button switches to AUTO ON / ON / AUTO OFF / OFF mode ... Personally, I use it for the TV box and WiFi and I'm happy with it. ON during the week from 07:30 to 23:30 ON at weekends from 08:00 to 23:55 And with the SET button, I can start earlier in the morning if I need to, for example. Have a good evening.

The problem is the power. The switch in the clock cannot switch the high power of the fan heater. Therefore better not. There should be products that can do this

It's strange for me too. I set it to come on at 4 pm and it somehow comes on at 4.15 pm, but switches off at 10 pm as requested. don't check that either.

So, to be honest, I can't remember, I don't have that programmer any more... But, if there isn't a battery tab, maybe it's a capacitor and you just plug in the programmer.

Depends on how X is defined. 1. if X is the same for all days, then only one programme slot is required Example X = 3 hours Mon-Sun 17:00 ON Mon-Sun 20:00 OFF 2. if X is different for each day, but always the same on the same day of the week, then 7 programme positions are required (one programme position for each day of the week) 3. if X should not always be the same on the same day of the week, then this is not possible Notes: The SET button selects the next programme position (20 x 2) Prg 1 ON Prg 1 OFF Prg 2 ON ... Prg 20 ON Prg 20 OFF Press the CLOCK button to exit programming To programme example 1, only the HOUR button is required in addition to SET, because every day of the week is programmed by default (Mon-Sun) - SET - 17 x HOUR - SET - 20 x HOUR - CLOCK For example 2, the DAY button is also required to programme the day of the week - SET - 1 x DAY (Mon) - 17 x HOUR - SET - 1 x DAY (Mon) - (17 + X) x HOUR - SET - 2 x DAY (Tue) - 17 x HOUR - SET - 2 x DAY (Tue) - (17 + X) x HOUR etc. - CLOCK

No, the timer is connected to the power supply and therefore does not need a battery.

The following switching operations can be programmed with this: 20 switching programmes in a 24h cycle, incl. random generator and countdown function A much better solution that can also be automated would be e.g. The Hombli Smart Socket System, there are 3 in one set, which can be programmed in the Hombli App as desired, daily, weekly, and the Hombli can also measure the power consumption very precisely, perhaps this would be a better solution than the timer, which is also huge. Hombli Smart Swiss Socket 2+1

A consumption of about 6 watts per hour must be expected. In 24 hours, that is 144 watts or 0.144 kWh. With an average price of around 22 centimes per kWh, this results in costs of around 3 centimes per day.

Unfortunately we were not able to test this, so please contact the brand directly for more details. We cannot guarantee whether this will damage the device or not.

? what you mean, but the clock is top notch and easy to program (for technical dorks like me 🤣)

Hello, from my point of view, such programming is not possible with this timer. You can only set the countdown, which switches the power on or off after the entered time. But not the duration of the switching and not as a repetition. For the desired functionality, a countdown timer with at least two freely programmable times (20 min. and 2 min.) and repeat function must be found.

Yes, I can do that. I also did it to restart the WLAN router nightly.

The time switch supplied does not match the illustration. The button at the bottom right is marked Recall. The countdown must be set via the key SET flashing ON --:-- (CTD).

Simply set an entire day as the "programme". Then the random function switches on and off during this time.

You might have a defective unit :/
