Short-term analog outlet timer with 30-second, 1-minute, and 5-minute settings
公開日:Hello!
Are you familiar with analog outlet timers that plug in between an appliance and an outlet, and are operated by turning a dial?
Most commercially available models allow settings from 30 minutes to 24 hours, with many having a minimum setting of about 10 minutes. However, there are surprisingly many everyday situations where you only need power for a few tens of seconds or a few minutes, or where you want to delay startup slightly.
That's why I thought it would be nice to have an analog outlet timer specifically designed for short durations "less than 10 minutes," such as 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes.
Use Cases
- When you want to preheat a coffee maker or toaster for a short period
- When you want to run a humidifier or small fan for a short period
- When you want to temporarily cut power to an outlet just before leaving
- When you want to limit the power-on time of appliances that children might touch
