Standard two gang light switch in the hall, one does the outside porch lights and the other a feature bulb in our hall alcove.

What would be handy would be to program them to come on at dusk until say 11pm and then on at 7 in the morning for an hour, plus be able to manually switch them on whenever needed.

I've had a look at the usual places and I can't seem to find anything that does exactly what I'm after, anyone here done anything similar?

Yeah two gang if possible, if there isn't anything I guess my only choice is to wire them both to one switch.

This is the only option I've found so far MrBig;

It's a pretty basic set up and a bit ugly but does work. Unfortunately it's quite loud when it activates as it's just two motors that push wheels against the light switches and run off four AA batteries. A bit Heath Robinson but does work!
