Nearpow. Every now and then I might bump a button so it turns off idk but for the most part they never fail me. Easy to remember how to set them where as setting it for something like gas lantern routene it can hard to remember how to set it. They never stayed stuck on but happened to some people.
My setup is flood proof but a bitch to run. Up to 6 five gallon buckets filled daily. I use utilitech outdoor timer for lights its never failed me and never forgot how to set them.

+1 on this. I love it and it's easy to setup. The best feature in my opinion is the day cycle/lights on cycle. My current cycle is 9 seconds every 2 hours. I get about 1liter runoff daily on 2-gallon grow bags.

12x is the highest you can go I feel before you just may as well consider flood and drain or promix.

I just surprised its got runoff at 9 seconds but could be just real good drainage. I know the floraflex plastic pots had some extreme drainage.

9 second shots every 2 hours during lights on. So approximately 54 seconds total. I like good runoff. I also use Rain Science bags, it's all root! Crazy AF

Some smart outlet plugs have an inching function that allows you control the duration that the outlet is on, in increments as small as 1/2 second.
I use a Sonoff-S31 smart plug to control my hydroponic pump.
Been using the same timer since 2022 with 0 problems.

Good call on the Sonoff S31 with wifi and homeassistant integration. Has power monitoring, set automation to send notification at start and end of laundry cycle.
