Evening all

Bunnings Prospect have the Envirotouch timer based switches on clearance for $15.00 (down from $69.00).

Price will vary between stores, as they were on clearance for $50.00 at Bunnings Woodville.

From the manufacturers website:

”The envirotouch™ is a range of intelligent, timer based switches which allows easy, point-of-use control of lighting and electrical devices. It includes multiple preset, countdown timer options or cycles, so with the simple press of a button it will automatically turn off the appliance, after the desired time. For example, select 60 minutes for classroom lights or 30 minutes for a heater, and they will switch off automatically.”

Enjoy

  Great idea, but having to get an electrician to hard-wire it kills the deal. Any ideas on a plug-and-play countdown timer?

    Sure: Wire-up a plug-in sOnOff WiFi controlled switch (cheapest source seems to be via the AliExpress app), eg, WiFi control via an app, also measure power consumption, control via a handheld remote, etc. most under $25)

    Plug to (your home 240v outlet); other end to your choice of sOnOff switch, 2nd wire to switch’s output a socket.
    Maybe cut a short extension cord in half for plug + socket, that do not need to be wired-up.

    Dunno if you’d still need an electrician to wire the 2 ext’n cord pieces to the sOnOff switch, but - if using the assembly on a part-time basis, there’s hope that your wouldn’t.

    I’d get the assembly’s wires checked for leaks, etc. [Annually?]. The test-Pass label could give it a level of correctness, if you’re ever checked.

    Finally, make sure your House Insurance isn’t invalidated by any of the above.

      Saw an sOnOff that measures power usage, for under $15 (app AliExpress, shop around)

      PS In case it wasn’t clear, in my orig. post, timer (& lotsa other) functions are all in the app.

      I think they also have sOnOff switches that run on low DC voltages, that could power a relay
      or switch eg 12 v charging power or devices, like radios, garden lights, etc.

      Also, sOnOff app interworks with a large number of other devices, designed
      to an international spec. Details on their web site.

  Max 10A resistive load
  3 or 4 types available for different timing tasks.
