A time switch (also called timer switch or simply timer) is a timer that operates an electric switch controlled by the timing mechanism.

A time switch is a device that has a built-in mechanical or electronic timer that turns an electrical circuit on and off at certain times of the day. The electrical current typically is used to perform a task that otherwise would be done by a person. Time Switch work in a variety of areas, such as irrigation or other water pumps, indoor or outdoor lighting, ventilation systems and other devices that need to be turned on and off throughout the day. A time switch automatically performs these tasks so that a person doesn't have to remember to do so or have to physically flip a switch at certain times every day.
