Lutron Maestro Countdown Timer Switch for Fans and Lights, Timer Switch for Lights, 3A/150-Watt LED Bulbs, Single-Pole/Multi-Location, MA-T51MN-WH, White

Stylish, intuitive and easy to use. Install took around 20 minutes and the countdown timer works well.I really like that it has a “memory” of the last used setting so I always leave mine on the 30min setting.

Works as expected. Easy installation with included wire nuts and screws. A neutral wire is REQUIRED in order to power the timing circuit. At one minute remaining in its timing cycle, the unit "blinks" the load as a reminder. I use these for the exhaust fans around my home.

Maybe I'm showing my age when I say it, but these are my absolute favorite timer switches for fans. I have these in every bathroom in my house now and I think they are fantastic. They work really well. They look great with matching Lutron dimmers.A minute before shutting off they have a feature where they will shut offand turn back on quickly which is nice because it lets you know that you're about out of time.

I originally bought the MA-T51-WH switch (no neutral) because it was a good looking countdown timer with increments up to 60 minutes as well as an always-on mode. I also liked the fact that it didn't require a neutral connection... until I installed it and found out that the lack of a neutral caused a problem.I have a fan and fluorescent light which are connected to the switch, and when I pushed the switch, it would turn on for a moment then turn off for a second or two and then turn on again (and stay on). After contacting Lutron technical support (which is excellent), I learned that the lack of a neutral connection makes the switch less robust for certain types of loads. It probably works for most people, but since it didn't work for me, they recommended that I get the same model of switch that also has a neutral connection (MA-T51MN-WH). Since I have a neutral connection in my switch box, this wasn't a problem for me. The neutral connection did the trick and now the switch turns on as it should. One more thing that I learned is that the model without the neutral can have the two wire leads connected in either order, but once a switch with a neutral connection is added, the order of the live leads is very important. If they are connected in the wrong order, the switch won't work.Now that I have the correct switch and all the wires connected correctly, it's working admirably. If you have a neutral connection in your switch box, you may want to play it safe and just get the switch with the neutral. It only costs a little bit more and could save you some trouble.

The Good:• Fits perfectly into a standard existing decora/decorator-style switch plate.• Installation instructions are clear• includes wire nut for ground wire (previous switch had ground wire attached to screw)• Does what you want - turns fan on and off, and time remaining display is pretty clear and easily adjustable• One of the simplest, best-looking designs in this product categoryThe Not So Good:• The push button has a bit of wiggle to it – you can tell it's just a decorative plate loosely in front of a tiny momentary switch button• The white is slightly different than the P&S Legrand switches I have it installed next to (but it looks better than the Legrand version of this timer, so we'll live with it)• Requires neutral wire for installation, which is actually a good thing, so it can work with more efficient fans and doesn't have to draw its power through the fan motor itself 24/7, but it doesn't include a piece of wire to hook that up with, I had to go scrounge some up. Make sure you have appropriate gauge electrical wire to install this with, because unless you're replacing an existing timer switch made for efficient fans, you probably don't have a spare neutral wire just hanging out in your switch box.The Other:• This one could be good or bad really, but I would have liked to know about the 1-minute warning, where it cuts power to the fan for ~1 second when there's 1 minute remaining on the timer, I don't love it, but it is effective at communicating that if you want the fan to keep running, you've gotta add more time.

Purchased this to replace my basic on/off switch and I wish I had done it sooner. You can set the timer to whatever you prefer or manually turn on and off. I usually opted to turn it on and have it run for a full 60 minutes. The switch worked perfectly and it lights up to show you where it's at. Buy it!

Love how I can just turn my fan on now and leave without worrying about it being on all day. Easily set the time and just let it run. I don't worry about any mildew or mold growing in my bathrooms.

Just installed it but so far so good! Very intuitive interface, love it.I started with 2 black wires and one ground on my original flip switch. I also had a bundle of 4 white wires all wire-nutted together jammed into the back of the box. I used the black wire that was on the top screw of my original light switch and put that on the top screw of the timer. I put the other black wire that was on the lower screw of my original switch onto the lower (black) screw of the timer. Then green to green using a wire nut that was provided with this switch. Then I used a small extra piece of white wire, 12 gauge solid, and added it to my bunch of other white neutral wires, creating a group of 5 white neutral wires. They are all wire nutted together with a large wire nut I had to buy. Then I connect that short white neutral to the middle screw of the switch, and everything works great! Not sure if it is correct, but seems to work.Fits easily in the box, it doesn't take up much more room than a regular switch. A small indicator light glows at all times, showing what time setting it is currently on. Then when you hit the big square button, it turns on the fan, and the indicator light blinks. When the time is almost up, the indicator light blinks faster, which is nice.
