Porch lights, pool pumps and signage that should run on a daily schedule can be automated with a simple dial timer in the switch box. The Intermatic KM2STU-1G is a 24-hour heavy-duty mechanical in-wall timer rated 20 A at 120 V AC with SPDT contacts, so it can also work in a three-way switching arrangement. Captive trippers set up to 36 on/off operations a day.
Why electricians pick it

Pro tip from the counter
The clock motor runs all the time, so this timer needs a neutral in the box. Many older switch boxes only have a switch loop with no white conductor, so check before selling the job, or plan to pull a new cable.
Best for: exterior and sign lighting, pool and circulation pumps, exhaust fans, three-way lighting control
