I like automation, but I prefer things to run independently if possible.

One way to do this is via clocks and timers.

  1. what is this type of automation called? What keywords can I combine to find these tools?

  2. if I want power to be cut by time automatically, is there a gang extension cable I can get to do this?

  3. I want to set my lights to a timer. I couldn’t find a manual timer, so I had to get an IoT timer instead. Since I cheaped out with some rubbish Chinese switch, it was a pain to setup. Anything easier to set a 24hr cycle for?

Thanks!

    Yes, I agree with you. Your solution answers OPs question. However, sometimes the question does not cover the problem completely.

    As long people know what they want, it’s easier. But that’s not always the case.
