What is Reddit's opinion of Timer Outlet, Nearpow Multifunctional Infinite Cycle Programmable Plug-in Digital Timer Switch with 3-Prong Outlet for Appliances, Energy-Saving Timer, 15A/1800W?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I have all of my plants under grow lights and on a timer. 12 hours during the winter months and then 14 hours during the summer months.

If you're wanting to see her flower, yeah, maybe take her home.

This one allows you to set events any way you want. You could do 15 seconds 5x a day or whatever...

Put it on a timer. You can get one for pretty cheap off of Amazon or from a pet store. I have mine turn on for 15 minutes every hour for my cherryhead. I use this one Timer Outlet, Nearpow... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G6O28NA?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Thats why I got one of these and it works great. Its nearly set it and forget it.

Honsetly, for one week, you can't just water the shit out of it then again when you get back? If not, BluMats are excellent but it would take some time to get it dialed in correctly.

I've run this timer on a fountain pump and hydro-ring + a res before. You could set the pump to run one time for a minute or so half wat through your trip.

All good!

I was give the answer NearPow is a timer that allows for continuous hourly loops (e.g. on 50 mins off for 10). It does still seem like for experiments down the road, a raspberryPi or arduino is the way to go. Guess I have to suck it up and get better at python and maybe C++.

You are going to need basic understanding of programming and electrical wiring to do it with an arduino. It is not a plug and play solution, but it is a really good option.

Something like this might be better. An arduino will cost you more.

Yea I use this timer from Amazon. Keeps the vape on for 59 minutes, then off for 1 minute, and does this in a continuous cycle.

I use min daily and don't like waiting for it to heat up/heatsoak, so I leave it on like this. Not a single problem so far.

Yeah we set up two timers for each viv (we have 2 so 4 timers all together). If you use a splitter you can plug the heat lamp and UVB on one timer then the CHE on the other. We have ours set so when the lights go out the heat emitter comes on and vise versa. These are the ones we use and I've had no problem with them: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G6O28NA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_LzCkAbJKMDMFW. The dial ones are not reliable, I've had issues with several of those.

Thanks! Here is the link to the short cycle timer we purchased. Easy to set up and exactly what we were looking for.

I am using a timer. Programmable to 1 sec intervals. This is the one

Also in NJ and growing indoors for transplanting. A cheap and effective option (what i'm using) is to get a shop light from lowes/home depot and put in one T8 cool white and one T8 warm light bulb. You want one bulb from each end of the spectrum. Once your seeds are sprouting keep the lights 2 inches from the top of the plant for about 14-16 hours a day (helpful to use a outlet timer, get one on amazon). I also have a fan going for the same time to prevent mold on top of soil and also make the stems stronger

Here's what i'm using, cost about $30:

• Lamp: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Utilitech-Linear-Shop-Light-Common-4-ft-Actual-4-55-in-x-47-92-in/4013481
• Bulb 1 - Warm White - https://imgur.com/a/HT145
• Bulb 2 - Daylight - https://imgur.com/a/eJtPV
• Outlet timer: https://www.amazon.com/Multifunctional-Infinite-Programmable-Appliances-Energy-saving/dp/B01G6O28NA/ref=sr_1_10?s=lamps-light&ie=UTF8&qid=1520920442&sr=1-10&keywords=outlet+timer

I think I'm using 6 in deep bins from home Depot. Cut holes for 2 and 3 inch net pots.

I used an interval timer on the foggers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G6O28NA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_fcVHCb93YHMGT

I used one fogger per bin and no fan. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P91ZFPA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9cVHCb2XD756Z

Timer I used for my lights https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MVFF59S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_MeVHCb6T6EXFV

Couldn't find a link to the grow light but it's nothing fancy. I have an LED one to save on the electric bill so maybe a little fancy.

It's all built into a shelving unit I got at Menards and wrapped in white mylar.

There are potted pepper plants on the shelf above.

It's in my basement so it's a little on the cool side but it being completely covered the lights warm it up quite a bit.

Cycle times are your friend here.

I've used these for 3 years now without fail.

I got this one and it’s pretty dope. Timer Outlet, Nearpow... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G6O28NA?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I agree with those saying that it's because of the type of electrical switch in your timer. One with a relay would not have this problem (such as https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G6O28NA).

I ended up adding a relay to mine, to solve a different problem. I found that my (outbuilding) was getting cold when the lights kicked off - the sudden loss of 1300W of lights meant my electric heater could not keep up. Adding a 2nd heater was a problem because I couldn't run it AND the lights at the same time.

So my timer now drives a RELAY that switches on one of two outlets, so when the timer is ON, the lights get power but when it goes off, the backup heater is powered! https://imgur.com/a/R5776a7

This is the seconds timer i use. Works great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G6O28NA/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is what i use. Can set all kinds of times. 1 min on 20 mins off or whatever.

There are a lot of similar timers & clones out there.

I have this one:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G6O28NA/ref=dp\_iou\_view\_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They are great! My favorite timers.

This device can do continuous on/off intervals, and repeating on/off intervals during a defined daily period. There is a PDF link on that amazon page with the user manual.

It's not "smart" and has no WiFi/Zigbee/Z-Wave capability, but it might work for your needs

I have a few of these, and they will do that. Has to be at least a minute though, you cant set the seconds on this one.

I got a bunch of LED lights from ikea and I have the wireless controller for them - I don't see why you couldn't hook them up to some sort of timer like this that plugs into the wall.
