Simple way to change your light switches to a dimmer, a timer, and a motion sensor

Today we are looking at how you can easily change your light switches around the house and install a light dimmer, a light timer, a timer for a bathroom fan and a motion activated light.

Hi Is there switch that has a dimmer and timer built in one? I need to dim my front overhang lights and would like to it to be on a timer as well. For instance have the front lights turn on at 7 PM (Dimmed) and shut off at 10 PM.

On the first switch, what is that blue tab on the bottom left? (Before the cover plate goes on)

I added a wire nut to isolate the 3 way wire. Hope it helps. Cheers!

Not the wire nut, at 3:23 there is a blue tab that stick out a bit that looks like it can slide up and down, the faceplate covers it though, so it's something that would be set and left alone.

The blue tab acts like a dimmer. You can slide it up or down. You can use it to set the brightness of the lights.
