Product Description
The Maestro Countdown Timer helps you save money and energy by automatically turning off the lights and fans after a preset time. Use the Maestro Countdown Timer on bathroom exhaust fans; use timers attached to garage lights to add an extra layer of safety when you return home at night. Use the large tap switch to turn the timer on and off, and use the rocker on the side to set the timer to the desired time-out option, anywhere from 5-60 minutes. Softly lit orange LEDs indicate the time remaining before turn-off. Save energy by using the Maestro Countdown Timer in closets, attics, basements, and other low-traffic areas to ensure the light is never left on for a long time. Exhaust fan must meet 0.3-amp minimum load requirement to be compatible; substitute MA-T51MN if the exhaust fan load is minimum 0.05-amp. Coordinating Claro wall plates and accessories sold separately.

The slider on the side allows you to set the time the fan or light will stay on from 5 to 60 seconds. The large rocker switch then turns the switch onto on for the set time period.
Installation is straightforward but some experience with electrical installations and basic electrical safety is required.
I've looked at home automation for lighting controls, and frankly this sort of switch appeals to me more. I've put Lutron motion sensor switches in several closets and the furnace room. There is no need to learn a new user interface, no worries that the software will become outdated, your privacy is maintained (a lot of digital solutions are controlled at servers maintained by the manufacturer); and finally, the cost is a lot lower for this sort of low-tech home automation. It makes the house more comfortable to live in. In the laundry room, for example, I can walk in with a full load of laundry and no free hand, and the lights just come on. I leave and don't have to worry about shutting off the light, because it will go off in five minutes anyway.
When I opened up my existing switch I found 2 black wires and 1 bare copper ground wire.
The existing unit's wires mapped very easily and clearly to the new unit's wires.
I ordered 3 timer switches from Amazon so I could test them out and keep the one I liked the best.
Lutron MA-T51-WH (~$30)
Maxxima 800 Watt 7 Button Timer Switch (~$20)
Woods 59007 (~$13)
The Woods switch does not look like it will sit properly flush with the wall plate as many reviewers have noted. It's the cheapest looking/feeling, but seems solid. I would not worry about wearing out or breaking.
The Maxxima switch is nice. I was rooting for this switch to be my keeper. I like the looks a lot, but everyone reports how bright the blue LED is. The installation instructions really are terribly unhelpful. The switch includes the following 4 wires: neutral/white, hot/black, load/red, and green. I took a stab at installing this to see how bright the LED is, but I didn't do the wiring correctly, because I didn't connect the white wire. I gave up trying, bc I got sick of running up and down stairs to my fuse box to turn the power on and off.
So the Lutron wins. I find this is the best looking unit of the 3. Easiest for me to install. Blends in nicely. This is my first day with the switch (10/14/2013). If any problems arise, I will update my review.
