Know before you buy

• Will it fit my wall socket?

  Choose this model for a 6 A Indian wall socket and a matching 3-pin appliance plug. Keep within both 6 A and 1.2 kW. For a geyser or pump, check the 16 A model and its socket requirements.

• 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and the Android app

  It joins only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (most routers broadcast both 2.4 and 5 GHz). The amiciSmart app is on Android; the iPhone app is in development.

• Choose how the appliance switches off

  In Manual mode the appliance stays on until you switch it off. Use Countdown for a timed shut-off or Schedule for a regular OFF time. The timer has no automatic safety cut-out.

• Indoors, away from water

  Use it indoors in a dry place, away from water, steam and direct sunlight. Push it fully into a 6A wall socket in good condition. Do not open it or plug one Timer into another.

Features that make it useful

• Six operating modes

  Manual, Countdown, Schedule, Cycle, Sunset and Inching. Set up to 10 ON times a week, a countdown of up to 99 hours, or a repeating ON/OFF cycle of up to 99 hours each.

• Local schedules and a backup clock

  With mains power available, saved schedules run on the timer even if the internet goes down. The backup clock keeps time during a power cut. When power returns, the timer starts with the output off and applies the selected mode and recovery setting.

• amiciSmart app on Android

  Switch from your phone, see activity history and an estimated use and cost, and invite family members. The iPhone app is in development. It does not work with Alexa or Google Home yet.

• One button, two lights

  The red light is about the Timer; the green light is about the appliance. A short press of the button switches the output. The two white pads beside the socket are screw covers, not buttons.

• 1-year warranty

  To claim, use the Feedback tab in the amiciSmart app or WhatsApp +91 98097 09898, and have your purchase invoice ready. The warranty is void if the maximum load is exceeded, if there is water damage, or if the case has been opened.

How to use

1. Plug it into a 6A wall socket

   Push the Timer fully into a 6A wall socket in good condition, then plug the appliance into the Timer’s 6A 3-pin socket. Stay within 1.2 kW.

2. Add it in the Android app

   In the amiciSmart Android app, open Home, tap + Add, then Add a device. Keep the phone within 5 m and allow Bluetooth and location or Nearby devices when prompted. For Wi-Fi setup, have your 2.4 GHz network name and password ready.

3. Choose a mode

   Use Manual for on-demand switching, or Countdown, Schedule, Cycle, Sunset or Inching to automate it. Inching turns the output on for a short moment (0.5 seconds to 1 hour); use it only for things built for short pulses, such as a gate opener or a bell.

4. Know what happens after a power cut

   Manual and Inching stay off when power returns. For Schedule, Cycle, Sunset and Countdown, choose whether to follow the schedule or stay off until the next scheduled time. With the default setting, the appliance can switch on immediately if an ON period is in progress.
