The artificial light was controlled by a light timer, giving 12 h of light and 12 h of darkness.
Windows, doors and the garden gate must be locked, the outside lights and the upstairs light timer turned on — a sequence that would be obvious to a regular watcher.
Installing one of these switch boxes is about as easy as installing a light timer or a three-for-one power strip — simply plug it in to a wall outlet, and then connect it to the device you want to control.
It will not be necessary to program a light timer or a thermostat because the light already knows the residents' movements and behaviors.
(So many buttons! So little time!) The living room light timer is perpetually 10 hours off when the tots are in residence casting us into darkness at inopportune times and lighting up the house like a Christmas tree at 3 00 a.m.
You can purchase a light timer at most home improvement stores.
Plug your crock pot or slow-cooker into an on/off light timer if you don't have a programmable slow-cooker.
When you go out, leave a light on in any room in the house or invest in a light timer to automatically turn on lights at whatever time you want.
Turn on the light at the same time in the morning and turn it off at the same time at night (you can use a light timer to help you).
