Looking for a timer

[broderp]

Does anyone know of a timer that:

• Has one master clock
• Control 3 or more outputs individually
• Each output
  • Controllable for day off the week
  • Programmable for any on time
  • Programmable for any off time

I was excited to find this at a good price:

The excitement ended when I realized that I couldn't have more than one output on at a time and the maximum time any output can be on is only 240 minutes.

Yea it is cheaper but I believe he is looking for a timer that each plug can be individually programmed for different times/devices

Looks that way.

I like these:

1. One side of the strip (4 plugs) goes to the one timer setting this strip has. There are also 4 other plugs that stay on all the time like a normal power strip.

2. For my snake, I need one each of 12 hr day/night timers and this one is perfect:

Thanks for the replies. I know what I'm asking for is a very niche product. Too bad the one I linked to has the two limitations that make it unusable without software/firmware or hardware modifications. I'm not opposed to this (as an Engineer, I can probably do the hardware, but the reverse Engineering required is time prohibitive and I do know a lot about software. Rain Bird probably wouldn't divulge the code to give a customer the insight needed to reprogram this. Such a shame. Watch the video and see how easy this is to operate and how it could be used to control various lights.

This might, but for some reason I can't get your link to fully load. I can see the image and that is about it.

I need to be able to control each outlet individually. I'm currently using 3 timers, with a lot of cords and adapters, I'd like to simplify my lighting.

Yes.

Those are nice. I currently use 3 of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010AH61G4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They work great, but are somewhat bulky and block outlets on a power strip. To control my lights, I have to set all three to the exact same time. That's sort of tricky and they eventually get out of sync.

BTW, the reason for the request is that I have 3 separate lights for my little Sherman.

• 6:00 am - the hood comes on. These are lower power White and Red LEDs. Gives the terrarium a slight red tint like sunrise.
• 6:30 am - the UVB bulb comes on and his terrarium is lit (and he has UVB).
• 7:00 am - the super bright white LED's come on (simulating full sunrise).
• 5:45 pm - the super bright white LED's go off, indicating the ending of the day.
• 6:15 pm - the UVB light goes out, leaving just the slightly red & white hood light on simulating sunset.
• 6:45 pm - The hood lights go out. Night time.

I know it's not optimal but it works. It would be easier if I could do this from one clock controlling multiple outlets.

Oh it could be because it is a Canadian website. Here is the description. It doesn't really say about the programming. I am assuming that you can program each plug based on the picture but I'm not sure.

Wow your pet is spoiled! I'd love to wake up to a sunrise/sunset everyday. I just get bright light for some reason.

I found this one, not sure if u have multiple plugs around to make it happen. Its digital and up to 8 settings per day. By the way can you put several timers into a power strip? My first reaction is that it is prob dangerous, but I'm not an engineer -_-

I considered buying those. I have 3 similar ones to those on a power strip for the lighting. I was hoping to consolidate them and get 1 timer with 3+ outputs that are individually controlled from the same digital clock. No luck so far...
