Power strip w/timer

I have only came across power strips that would only have 6 smart outlets here hope it helps you. I don’t like the old style of timers you posted. I found them to be unreliable and can’t be fine tuned like a smart outlet.

Don’t get that they are all on one cheap timer. A power strip with 1 smart plug would be the same.
I have looked for the same but they don’t seem to exist. Gosund has good options, they have a 6 way but only 3 programmable.
The best if you can is a 10 outlet shop strip. The sockets are further apart and fit smart plugs. I then got two 4 packs of smart plugs for $20 a pack. Total ends up around $75-80 .

That one is the same as you describe:
What about using 2 of the 4/4 power strips, or one of the 4/4 power strips plus a 4-pack of smart plugs plugged into the "always on" outlets?

I use these and so far no problems. 4 are always on and 4 are on timer. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MWHQZX0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That looks like an analog—all timed outlets set for the same times?
I was wondering if any of the digital/electronic versions allow different timing amongst the 4 timed outlets(?)

Get smart plugs that hook up to an app on your phone. So much easier. Plugged into a regular power strip.

They are the govee brand and use the same app as the govee temp/humidity gauges.

Would also recommend what @Beman posted but I wanted to give @Chammy007 something similar to what was in question.

They are all set as closely as I can get them. There’s a few minutes difference, which is actually kind of nice rather than plunging all into darkness at once.That looks like an analog—all timed outlets set for the same times?

I was thinking more of using something to replace the 3 timers I use now—one each for plants, UVB, & basking, set for different intervals—and/or synchronizing lights on 2 adjacent enclosures.
