A timer device could be used to switch on your central heating an hour before you arrive home from work. And switch off just after your leave for work in the morning. So saving electricity while the house is empty.

Why does a dehumidifier have a timer?

Some dehumidifiers have a timer, others don't. A timer is usually seen as an advantage and is more likely to be included with a slightly more expensive brand or model. Timers switch the machine on or off or both. A timer will allow you to program between eight and 24 hours ahead, depending on the dehumidifier model you buy. A timer is included to give the user more control. The reasons they may be used vary from person to person but here are a few of the most common I've come across. "I use my dehumidifier in a damp bedroom. The noise of the fan stops me from falling asleep but isn't loud enough to wake me. I set my dehumidifier to start running from 2:00am when I'm always deep asleep." "I don't need a dehumidifier during the day but it needs to run at night to prevent condensation. I just set the timer to cycle on at 8:00pm and off again at 8:00am. That works perfectly for me." "Dehumidifiers use energy and we use the timer to control the cost. Ours is set to come on, run for two hours and switch off. It does this through the day and keeps us dry without costing so much." "My dehumidifier is set to come on just before we get up in the morning. I'm a guy in a house full of women, my wife and three teen daughters. You can imagine the steam from the showers! The dehumidifier runs for about an hour after we've all left the house and keeps the condensation under control." There are 101 reasons why people like to have the timer on their dehumidifier and you can see why some people would not buy one without it.

Why is a timer is used in an electrical circuit?

Timer relays are used in control circuitry. There are two main types, an (off delay) and an (on delay). If you want one device to turn off before the timer controlled device then you would use an off delay timer. If you want one device to turn on before the timer controlled device then you would use an on delay timer. When the timer is energized this starts the timer circuit in the relay to time out.

How do you create a timer on app inventor 2?

To create a timer in App Inventor 2, use the "Clock" component. Drag a "Clock" component onto your design screen and set its properties, such as enabling the timer and defining the time interval in milliseconds. You can then use the "when Clock.Timer" event block to specify actions that should occur each time the timer ticks, such as updating a label or changing an image. Finally, control the timer's start and stop using buttons or other user interactions.


Where is the brain of a dishwasher?

Dishwashers don't exactly have a "brain", usually they are controlled by an electromechanical timer/control unit operated by a small synchronous electric motor. A few of the newest (and most expensive) models use a microprocessor based timer/control unit. Either type of control unit is typically in the module containing the main cycle selection knob (usually mounted on the door in home models).
