Device Description
The Outlet Power Auto Timer is a plug-in electrical timer designed to automate control of household devices. This device can be used as assistive technology to support individuals who have difficulty remembering to turn items on or off, have limited mobility, or reduced fine motor coordination. It may benefit individuals with memory challenges, executive functioning difficulties, arthritis, or physical disabilities by simplifying control of everyday appliances.
The timer plugs directly into a wall outlet, and devices such as lamps, fans, or small appliances plug into the timer. Users can select a set amount of time for the device to remain on, after which it automatically turns off. This reduces the need for manual control and can support safety by preventing items from being left on unintentionally. The repeat function allows the same timing cycle to run automatically each day, supporting routine and consistency.
The timer includes preset buttons for common time intervals such as 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours, along with a manual on and off override button. It is rated for 15 amps and 1875 watts, making it suitable for a range of household devices.
The device measures approximately 4.5 inches by 2.5 inches by 1.5 inches and is compact for indoor use. Features include a 3-prong grounded outlet, push-button countdown controls, repeat cycle function, manual override option, and a simple plug-in design that does not require programming.
