Why? Reptiles can't tell time. After setting my timers up, I've never looked at them again.Get your timers sorted
They may go off an hour later by the clock, but it's the same time as far as the reptiles are concerned, and I won't have to change them back again.

I know that for my smart timers, they adjust to the new time so my lighting schedule gets thrown out of whack by an hour which really messes with my cham. If I set the timer to go off at 7 before the time change, it is now going off an hour earlier than usual. So then I have to go back and set the lights to go off at 8--which is really the previous 7 o'clock.Why? Reptiles can't tell time. After setting my timers up, I've never looked at them again.

What can I say...my timers must be smarter than yours

It wasn't terribly expensive. I got a four-pack for $25. That's $6.25 per socket. I think that's a pretty fair price for something that pairs up to your smartphone. How much did yours cost??Well... your timers are probably more expensive than mine!

$5 ea. on sale @ home despot. Plus cubes I've had since the '70s. That's $1.67 per socket.
Don't have a cell phone let alone a smartphone.

Not consequentially. Sunup & Sundown and lights on & lights off are still equidistant from noon.

Not by design, I assure you. Growing up on a limited income incentivizes one to learn to economize and improvise (and to some extent—packratDarn!!! You beat me once again
).Packrating has always bewildered the Missus.
"Why are you saving that?"
"Because it will come in handy one day, and you'll be glad I did."
"Uh-huh."
20 years later...
"This broke. Can you fix it?"
(Digs through decades of packratted stuff, but knows exactly where to find exactly what's needed.)
"All fixed. Aren't you glad I saved it?"
"You never cease to amaze me."
"I love you too. "
"She's a quilter now. Anyone who knows a quilter knows they save every scrap of fabric & doo-dad.
But now it's not packratting—it's saving/hoarding for future projects.
Uh-huh.
