I have a double light switch--that is one switch right above the
other--and I want to get a programmable replacement for one or both of
the switches that will turn a light on at dark and off at morning. A
light sensor outside isn't possible in the location where I have the
light, so I would like this inside. I can find plenty of single
switches that are programmable, but no double switch ones. Please help
me track one down. Let me know if you need clarification. (Basicaly it
is like an electric outlet w/two plugs, but instead of two plugs,
there are two light switches there--I would like to have a timer
replacement switch. Thanks!!!!

Clarification of Question by jugger-ga on 21 Aug 2006 18:01 PDT

Yes, the single / lcd panel timer is what i'm thinking (i have one of
those already for another light), but a dual switch panel would be
ideal. I am in the USA. I agree it is a specialized request! Thanks to
everyone for comments.

If you want to control the switches independent of each other, then
you would need 2 timer switches.  If you want them both to work
together, then you only need 1 timer switch.  Can you explain what
mean by a "double switch"?

Perhaps something like this stand alone programmable timer switch would help?

This switch will allow you to schedule on and off times on the LCD
faceplate, however it is a single load switch, and only works on
110v/60hz power systems.

I just noticed the comment that you are looking to automate both
switches. Perhaps a best place to start is to let us know what country
you are in.

I was able to find this double over under light switch, but this is
not very common in the US.
