Programmable Switches

Programmable switches can bring both convenience and efficiency to a range of systems, both in a consumer electronics context as well as in commercial and industrial settings. In a consumer context, programmable switches are often used in home lighting and heating systems. They may also be used in such a manner in commercial and industrial settings, as well as for things like the operating of machinery or security systems.

What can programmable switches be used for?

Programmable switches have a variety of potential uses, including in the home in lighting and heating systems, but also may be found in industrial, commercial, and security environments.

Do programmable switches save electricity?

Programmable switches can save electricity when used for a specific purpose. For example, a programmable switch used to control when lights are switched on or off at home or in the office, or the times when other systems are in operation.

Is a programmable switch the same as a time delay?

A programmable switch may be used in devices that include a time delay, but they’re not the same thing. Programmable switches help a user determine and automate when something switches on and off, while a time delay facilitates a wait for something after a switch has been switched on and a circuit completed.

How do programmable switches work?

Programmable switches work by allowing users to pre-set the times throughout the day when they should be switched on or off to operate a specific system or machine. Programmable switches are typically simple to operate and can usually easily be reset or changed as often as required.
