Question about the Mains Plug In Socket Timer Switch

[manyaonisland]

Hello helpful people out there!

I am looking forward to some guidance before purchasing one of these.

As me and my wife both have late night shift we come back home late in the night. I want to switch the lights on and off automatically to create the illusion that house is occupied to deter the unwanted guests.

I am planning to buy Mains Plug In Socket Timer Switch clock which can let time come on automatically on the set time. The description says that this can be programmed for 7 days which I think what it means is one can have different settings / day of week.

My question is would this continue to operate on the same set time in following week as well or will this needs reprogramming? So let us say I put the light on at 5 PM to 8 PM on Mon-fri.. will it come on the same time the next week as well ?
Also it says that it uses internal battery to maintain clock. It sounds good but doesn’t that mean that it all will stop once the battery is drained or does it charge itself when it is in socket?

Please help me clear my doubts..

Thanks a ton in advance

It'll keep going doing the same program each week.

Re battery - probably only used when it's not plugged in, but not sure if it recharges when it is plugged in. Or it might not be a battery.

Best idea is to click this.

It's 3 clicks away from the item page you linked to - you can't have tried very hard.

kind of disagree as the seller help is least intuitive name for the tab to know that is the place where questions can be asked... may be getting used to Amazon format! (used to e-bay straight forward - ask seller a question)

but thanks for the help and info!
