In the world of luxe bathroom comfort, towel warmers have become a growing luxury — and for good reason. Nothing beats the feeling of stepping out of the shower and wrapping yourself in a warm towel. We manufacture the finest bathroom furniture, creating high-quality elements that can change your daily maneuvers into something high-class. But the question we often hear from customers is:
"Can I program my towel warmer to turn on automatically every morning?"
The answer is a function of which model you have. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the towel warmers we offer, how to use their timers, and the best approach for a heating schedule that works for you, whether you want something basic or WiFi smart.
The Importance of Automating Your Towel Warmer
Before we get into the "how,” we'll discuss why programming your towel warmer is a great idea.
- Convenience: You don't have to remember to turn it on — your towels are waiting for you.
- Energy Efficiency: Run only when you want to avoid wasting energy.
- Daily Comfort: A warm towel first thing in the morning can set the tone for your entire day.
At Ace Decor, we believe that your towel warmer should work for you — seamlessly and without error. Which is why it's important to understand the options available.
Towel Warmer Timer Functionality: Standard vs. WiFi Models
The following are the two primary types of heated towel racks offered by Ace Decor:
- Standard Heated Towel Warmers
- Heated towel warmers with WiFi capability
Automation and control vary across the three. Here's a breakdown:
| Feature | Standard Model | WiFi-Enabled Model |
|---|---|---|
| Can schedule daily on/off times? | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Can set heating duration (e.g., 1h, 2h, 4h)? | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Control via smartphone app | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Works with smart home assistants (e.g., Alexa, Google Home) | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Manual switch | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Ideal for tech-free households | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
How to Use on Your Ace Decor Towel Warmer
Standard Models (Manual Timer Feature)
Our standard models are simple, robust and effective. While they don't have a specific time-based schedule (for instance, start every day at 6:30 AM), they do come with a built-in timer so you can decide how much time the towel warmer should be kept on after activating.
How it works:
- Tap the power button to turn the warmer on.
- Use the timer function (1h, 2h, or 4h) to limit the time.
- The warmer will automatically switch off after the duration you selected.
Tip: If you want your towels to be warm by 7:00 AM, you'll need to turn the unit on manually at around 6:00 AM (with a 1-hour heat-up time).
This model isn't automated in the scheduling sense, but it's ideal for users who want a lower-tech solution or who are going to the bathroom when they want the warmer on.
Programmable + Smart Features (WiFi Models)
Our WiFi-enabled towel warmers are ideal if you're ready for real automation. These models give you complete control over when the warmer is on or off, allowing you to set specific times for it to turn on or off.
Key Features:
- Control from the app from anywhere using your smartphone
- Create daily or weekly recurring schedules
- Control cook time, temp, and on/off times remotely
- Connectivity to smart home assistants like Google Home and Amazon Alexa
- Perfect for households on the go, or for the more technologically inclined users

A Real-Life Use Case: Your Morning Routine
Emma, one of our Ace Decor customers, tells how she uses her WiFi-enabled model:
"I programmed it to come on at 6:15 AM each weekday. When I get out of the shower at 7:00, my towel is perfectly toasty. It's such a little luxury, but it makes such a big difference in how I approach my day.”
This is precisely the type of customized schedule that smart towel warmers are capable of producing — providing warmth to you at the moment you desire, effortlessly.
Commonly Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can I install the WiFi towel warmer on my own?
Yes. All of our towel warmers include comprehensive installation instructions, and most can be installed without a professional. For hardwired units, we did recommend a licensed electrician.
2. What happens if my WiFi goes down?
When you manage to reconnect to the internet, your device will return to its previous settings. The unit is still usable via the built-in switch for manual use.
3. How long will it take to heat the towel completely?
Depending on model and room conditions, our towel warmers often achieve their best temperature in 15-30 minutes.
4. Is it possible to use a timer plug on the standard model?
Yes, technically, but to ensure the safe and smart operation of your and others' devices, we recommend using our WiFi model for scheduling.
Final Thoughts: Which Model Is Best For You?
Our standard model with duration timers is ideal for anyone who likes things straightforward and likes manual control. But if automated schedules, remote access, and semi-automatic towel warming sound like the bathroom experience of your dreams, consider upgrading to our WiFi-enabled version.
We at Ace Decor are of the view that comfort should come easy. Whether you're putting the finishing touches on your bathroom for the daily functional business or a little morning pampering, our towel warmers have your daily routine in mind.
