Quick Timer Question

[Aheadatime]

Hey guys. Looking for a timer that can do generic on/off segments, like half hour on/half hour off. I'd like to experiment with keeping my aerocloner in an on/off cycle. Any suggestions?

The $10 ones from Lowe's/Menards / home depot are fine. Push/pull pins. 15 min each.

Most any nondigital has 15 minute increments
I bought one for $8 at Harbor Freight

Yep, that's what I use. I do use a heavier duty one for my 1000w HPS though, costed me like twenty dollars. The heavy duty ones are usually right beside the cheap 10$ ones, but the cheap ones should work just fine unless a lot of wattage will be going passing it.

A repeat cycle timer would be exactly what you want.

Thanks guys. My local home depot only had the nondigitals with 30 minute intervals, but at 10$, I grabbed one to experiment with anyway. You guys think 30 minutes is too long for clones to go without being misted?

Sonoff work great for cycle timers. I like to take a power strip and install a sonoff midway up the cord. I have a few and use them for light timers, fan cycle timers, clone boxes. Very versatile.

I bought one and it stopped working after 2 days. It’s connected too my 600 watts light; could the reason be the wattage u mentioned?

I suppose that it's possible. Might've just been a defective one, might've been too much juice for it to tolerate. At any rate, I'd get one that's a bit better. Most of them will state somewhere on the box how much wattage they can tolerate.
