Hi I’m an electricians mate so I can just buy a contacter and make a four way circuit myself just not sure which type to get as it’s says on contacters normally closed or normally open etc please note I’m using a grow plug timer so one plug will go in Mains and the other in the grow timer

hey unless you know what your doing electrically I wouldn't suggest you make your own. a normal timer and power strip will do fine

I'm not an electrician by any means but I thought a plug n grow (as in the brand) is a contact to relay timer?

I've a 40 amp maxibright timer it's a a grasslin contact timer wired through a relay.

I want to make a few off them to save money. The contacters are only only £4 and the rest of materials will come to £6.
