I had the opportunity tonight, to program 6 automatic timers for Juan’s three condominiums in Cuernavaca, MX. No one is living in them at the moment, so it is necessary to make it look like someone is living in each of the condos.
It was a lot of fun programming each condo to vary the times that lights came on, stayed on, went off, came on again, for how long, went off, came on again, supposedly “while getting ready for work”. Then, in the evening, each condo comes on within a half hour of the others, stays on while someone is “downstairs watching TV”. Then someone goes upstairs to get ready for bed, while others are still downstairs doing something amazing.
Each condo has its own occupants, doing what comes naturally to those people. It was great fun, and I hope it will serve its purpose- keep intruders out.
I had to show everyone here how they are set, why there are set the way they are, and how to make each one work properly, because no one here has used these before. Ivan and I, however, used these every year, when we came down to México, in October! Now they will serve as watchmen of the condos in beautiful Cuernavaca!
If you have never tried them, I encourage you to use them this holiday season, to make intruders think someone is home when you are not. Automatic timers- once you use them you will be hooked. Let me know what you think.
