Need to find an in-wall electrical outlet/receptacle with a 24-hour timer that mounts flush with the wall.?

Question

It's easy to find 24-hour box timers that plug into a wall outlet. However, I want one for a space in my home which is exposed to the eye, and a big box with a dial will be pretty ugly. Isn't there a wall outlet / receptable out there which can be mounted in-wall (replacing the existing plug outlet) which incorporates a 24-hour timer? There are plenty of light switches out there which have timers now, but I can't find an in-wall outlet. Can anyone else find one for sale?

Answer 1

what are you trying to control via timer
as far as i know there are no inwall timer / receptacle combos out there that i have run across and i am an electrician by trade

Answer 2

u have to use a junction box for this because of codes it will serve as both the junction and the recessed case for the smaller timer, so your imagination woulds be looking at a cover like a breaker box in the wall same type of box only the junction box will look like an empty breaker box and when you open it you'll have the timer and or a wall receptacle too?/ look in the discount electrical supplies for discontinued or obsolete stock this can bring price down too

Answer 3

There is now a new requirement for the mounting height of a light switch based on the American Disabilities Act. The switches are now required to be no higher than 44" above the floor so that they can be reached by someone in a wheel chair. Usually this requirement is only in commercial establishments, but some cities such as San Francisco are requiring it in houses.
