where to find this type of timer:?

widmer · 07/01/2010, 06:53 PM

For a project I need the ability to push a button to allow a device to receive household power for about fifteen minutes and then automatically shut off power supply to the device. Does such a timer/device exist? Thanks..

you could wire something like this if you are trying to do something fancier than a regular timer:

Just off the top of my head, and I don't have any idea what you have in the way of wiring or mounting options but.....

You know them classy hotels with the "infared" heat lamp mounted in the bathroom ceiling. On the wall there is a timer for that thing.. you know, like an egg timer. Rotate the dial to 5, 10, 15 or whatever minutes.

yeah, I installed those on all of my bathroom fans & I have one on my attic fan.

They have them at HD for ~$15
