Timers

[ariez189]

Hello!

What timers do you guys suggest I get? I'm a little lost on what to get since everything kind of runs on its own schedule. Unfortunately, I do not have a misting right now, but plant to upgrade later on.

The mister I am getting does have a built in timer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LXQW8YQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

I am just needing an idea for a timer for basking light, plant light, UVB, and fogger.

Hello
There are power strips with manual timers that can handle one schedule for multiple appliances at once...or the individual timer plugs from a hardware store are good too.

• Zoo Med Controller
• GE Timer Strip

You could go all out and pick up some IoT power plugs that integrate with your smart phone, apple home, or alexa. Each plug can have its own timer too.

• Kasa Smart Strip

You’ll probably want to shop around for the best price, though. These were just the first links that came up.

I suppose it depends on how much you want to spend. For those items (except the fogger, as I won't need one) I'll be using inexpensive ones like this.

I've had 2 running my beardie enclosure for the past year with no problems.

@Klyde O'Scope is right - you don’t need the expensive ones. It’s better to splurge elsewhere, like on the misting system

Thank you! I’m going to go with the one listed below and the GE timer strip.

Thanks everyone!

If you want to plug more than one light into one of those, you can with an inexpensive socket cube

Geez, did I say inexpensive? I can remember when these things were molded plastic and cost a half a buck. In fact, I've still got a half dozen of those on my workbench (aside from the one in my basking/plant timer).
