So the cheaper one (T03) would do what I want?

Yes - but with certain caveats.

1. You need a 32mm deep back box
2. 32mm back boxes are not standard so use a standard 35mm back box
3. The terminals on these switches are about as easy to access with a
screwdriver as a penis is to a nun's ****


Might be a good idea to find a nun to understand the difficulties
before I buy the timer?



Is there is anything stopping you adding the timer and keeping the
existing switch left in the ON position?

If not them just use a deep patress box for the timer. Fiddly and
awkward but it will what you want and also has a boost button for the
unexpected ocasions you need HW out of the timed period.


That sounds like a plan! I'm away next week so will get one ordered when
I get back. Thanks for all the help.
