Interested to know also, but have no idea about this timer thing, i want to set timer for my front gate pillar left and right and also 1 light for car porch to on during night time let said by 7pm automatically ? so do i need 3 timer or 1 can do for 3 ? the shop dun include installation ??

Hi all
Would like to ask, if I install a Hager timer (be it electromechanical or full digital), can I install a by-pass switch (aka normal light switch) for the timer? I want to be able to by-pass the timer, and switch on/off my lights as I wish, since I plan to install a timer for my car porch. Sometimes I do wash my car past certain hours, or wee hours in the morning, which requires me to bypass the timer without fumbling with the timer controls.
Would appreciate some guidance from electrical experts here.
Thanks!

Is very straightforward, you can control 2 equipments making both flip flop.

It needs to be connected to the Neutral wire. So, unless there is one some where near the switch, then will not work

All go out must come back. When you have Live, you need neutral to have a complete circuit.

Usually light switch is on with Live, and neutral are all loop neat the equipments. Only A/C, heater, oven switch, or high current switch have both neutral and Live.

If your switch point have A/C or water heater switch, you can tap from there.
