1. Why should I use your wireless controller to turn my lights off and on when I have a time clock or photocell to do the job ?

   Answer :   That is a good question and first let me explain how each of the "controllers" work.  First off: a time clock will at a predetermined time, turn your lights all on or all off, that is because the lights are wired in a series, like Christmas tree lights, a certain number 1- 10 or more on one particular circuit. If you have a large number of lights you may have other components  (contactors) that controls a number of circuits, which is then controlled by a time clock. As you can see, you can not control any individual or group of lights with just a time clock. A photo cell is virtually the same thing, it turns the power on to a circuit which, turns on or off every light connected to that circuit. With the Switchtech wireless control attached quickly and securely to a individual light pole, you now have manual or automatic control over that light and/or every other light down line if you choose.

2.  Do Switch TECH wireless devices have photocells or time clocks ?

    Answer :  Yes, as an option you can order any Switchtech ST-1 or ST-2 with a photo cell or time clock to have a structured schedule but still have manual control for maintenance or repair. In this situation you would only install one Switchtech device per photo cell or time clock you are replacing. You would not have individual control or any individual  light, but you could manually turn all the lights on or off from distance of 2000+ feet away with our wireless transmitter. And with one of our "repeater" that distance could be doubled.
