Kosher Switch

[avromie7]

Now that this one has a fork in it lets move on. Am I understanding correctly that there are timers that are kosher?

Yes before shabbos you set your programmable switch (also known as a shabbos clock) to turn on and off your lights and appliances on a fixed schedule

Need to do some research first but it looks like I am going to have a field day with this one. 

Any other gadgets used for Shabbos?

This one has been used for many years and I can tell you from experience needing to predict beforehand when you will need it and when not is not the same as being able to turn it on and off at whim

When I was in Yeshivah I was actually thinking of inventing a Shabbos alarm clock that's in a soundproof case with an opening that you can close to "turn it off". No clue if that's practical/possible...

Letter from Rabbi Berel Levin:

Is there a goy version? 

[Achas Veachas]

Is there a goy version? 

He's Israeli so I doubt he has one in English and dfinitely can't translate the whole thing right now, the tl;dr of it is "what were they thinking..."

"what were they thinking..."
