Please don’t use moss I almost lost my gecko She was eating her skin with the moss attached it was very hard to pull it out now I just use paper towel and she loves it I make sure that it is always wet

Okay what about setting for the night to be on

Do you put the probe on the floor of the tank or on the glass in the air? I'm confused about placement

I should download this video so if it’s ever deleted, my life won’t go into shambles

You did a much better explaining than the first one I watched thanks man.

I watched other videos and was lost! The other tutorials left out a couple important steps like turning the mode to Auto!! Thank you so much!

Thank you. I could not figure out for the life of me how to get this timer working with the paper instructions that came with the timer. It’s working perfectly now. ❤

I just sent mines but the yellow is the night and the blue is the day on my clock. I cannot I don’t know app I do not know how to make the yellow. The day in the blue is the night have no clue.

honestly I have to come back to this video every now and again when the power strip gets unplugged, but very reliable. thank you for posting and keeping this video up for all these years

Make sure you are not programming it based on when you personally wake up unless you're waking up at dawn, reptiles need to know when it is day/night outside, not based on when you wake up. Just making sure, as he mentions setting it to come on when he wakes up.

Product is trash. Even with this video, reading the manual, and setting up the program like every other digital timer in existence, it still doesn't work... Power to all plugs, however the timer on/off function is not switching anything in the power strip.

Was hoping mine wasn’t broken but this serves as confirmation

Okay I realize this video is 10 years old and it was very helpful with setting everything up but still had a few issues with proper function. Adding this comment in case all newer models are like this. But to the point, I have to have the power strip on "on" mode for it to run its timed on/off schedule. If it's on "auto" the lights just stay on 24/7. Maybe mine is a one off with its programming, maybe it's newer programming for all of them. Either way I'm not buying another to figure out lol. I also bought a kasa smart power strip around the same time and I regret not buying 2 of them at the time. Kasa has an app that let's you program each of the 6 outlets independently from each other. Hope this was helpful.

Thank you 🙂

Very helpful thanks!

I know this video is 10 years old, but it is also explained wrong… The 1-5 numbers on the side are separate programs, not the days… This unit has 5 programs, so basically in this video You just set the exact same cycle for each program… The day button selects the days, either single days, weekdays, or weekends. This unit can have 5 different timed “daylight”(yellow plugs) periods… there are several versions of this same exact identical unit, the reptile version is most expensive, followed by the fish version, followed by the gardening version, and finally the household “vacation” version is the cheapest…

After you hit the “PRG” button you can just set the times once. You DONT have to do all 7. If you want different days to have different times or you want to set weekdays/weekends to diff times thats when you would use 2-7 on the “PRG” setting. To set different times on different days you can 1. Use the “PRG” button 2. Press the “Day” button a. It will switch between each day then Weekdays/weekends. Whatever day(s) are highlighted up top will be the day(s) affected by that programming

Thank you this was very helpful now to see if it works tomorrow fingers crossed

Super nice and straight forward tutorial - thank you! Solved my problem in like 5 minutes <3

This was soooo much easier than the written directions. I’ve had this for over a year and it has never worked right. I’m leaving for a trip I HAD to get it working correctly and sure enough, this worked! Thank you!

If you don’t have a spray bottle get your fingers wet and flick it at the glass

Thanks! This was really helpful.

Something to note is that you shouldn't be housing geckos on sand and not even calcium sand i don't think

Damn I was hoping I could use this for both of my reptile enclosures but it doesn’t look like that will work

My light is plugged into the yellow outlet. My program is set for each day on 8am to 8pm. It's 1pm and my light is not lit. If I change this from auto to ON the light comes on. Seems like it should be on and working. What am I doing wrong?

This was very helpful thank you

I would like to have 2 day time settings, 2 bulb settings, one heat, one uvb. Is this possible?

I followed these instructions and my night lights never popped on... Anyone have any ideas?

is there something i can plug in the power center to so that if the power goes out it will save the settings as is ...

Thanks for the tip literally got him drinking from the bowl within seconds of spraying the glass 👍🏾👌🏾

Thank you! I’ve had mine for 6 months and I honestly thought it just didn’t work. The instructions that came with it were so confusing too, I’m glad I found your video!

Does this work well if i attach another power strip, and will it correspond with the time cycle?

Thanks so much! I got a ball python and needed to know how to set this up and other tutorials were a lot more complicated. This helped a lot! Thanks again!

I feel like mine still isn't working right

Thanks so much! Super helpful.

Tysm I was so confused my dad told me that it has to be programmed or else I was gonna be in trouble 😭 you saved my life man.

Thank you this was a very easy tutorial. No idea why there is so many dislikes. This is an actual good tutorial video that solved my problem in less than 10min. No added searching. Just one YT vid. You the man thanks for saving me time!

I hope you see this I clicked auto and did everything right but yet it’s still not turning on help ! Please

I went on vacation for six days my best friend came over one day to feed my gecko she only had four worms when she regularly eats about 8 to 10 personally I think my geckos a boy but anyway ever since then my gecko has not eaten the way she normally eats or How is she normally ate before I went on my trip he’s basically eating for worms a week on an average any suggestions? The temperature in the tank is perfectly fine I’ve double checked it maybe I should change your diet? I’m not sure what to do anymore. She has not lost any weight thankfully and she still looks healthy but it’s very odd can you help?

You are a savior, I've had this same one for years but I lost the instructions.

For nothing from this. Dont quit your day job mate....

The most annoying thing about this power pad is it doesn't apply instantly. If you set it up at 3pm and want it to turn on at 7am and off at 7pm. It won't turn on until 7am the next day...it isn't smart enough to figure out it's already in an "on window" which pretty much every other timer in existence does.

every time something happens where my power center resets, i always come back to this video. thank you, MUCH appreciated!!

If I turn on auto it turns them off

Excellent video. Thank you!

Thank you so much, I had no idea what the little 1-7 was for

I COULD NEVER UNDSTAND WHY THERE WERE 7 FLUCKING TIMERS AND ONLY 8 BUTTONS 😭😭😭 My God, I need a nap.

Thank you so much, I can build and fly drones but I can't work a power strip. 🤣😂🤣👍
