Bunnings 4 outlet programmable power board
I was in bunnings today and looked at a 4 way 240VAC power board that has an in built electronic timer. Each of the 4 power outlets has 4 programmable on/off times. This is great for lights, moon light and I was thinking of putting my air pump on, only at night. It must be built just for Aquariums :lol:
Now for Baldy and DIYJ if your reading :shock: we should look at maybe hacking this unit to provide a 1wire 240VAC switching unit. The unit itself would already have the 240 switches (Triac ?) and the electronic timer somehow triggers them on/off. So I was thinking all we may need to add is 4 x opto isolator and turn the opto on/off from a 1wire output...All very safe and effective...who's going to buy the first one and open it up...? they are only $25.00
