Multi 110v outlets, individual timed control

[Poor Flick]

I'm wanting to control on and off timing to 4 110v outlets for outdoor Christmas light strings. Probably have 1 outlet on for about 30 seconds or maybe a minute, then switch off and repeat in sequence to another for the same amount of time, each independently, not to have more than 1 on at a time. I've looked some on the internet and searched some here on BCN with no luck, anyone heard of such a timer?

each independently, not to have more than 1 on at a time.

You can't have independent and "NOT" gated at the same time...

So you are looking for sequential timing?

EG: socket X on for 30 seconds, then turns off and socket X+1 switches on for 30 seconds, etc, repeat?

Put this into google " 4 channel christmas light controller " or " 4 Channel Chase Controller " they make 4,6,8 etc. channel ones

There is an ic that can do it, UTC 8156, just add a few more parts. There is also the ELM711 ic that could be used.

solid-state relays and an arduino or 4017 and 555 circuit.

or go oldschool and find an old camswitch - that's how it used to be done.

Thanks Goontron, I’d want X to come on for about 30 seconds or so, then shut off and the next socket Y would do the same, and continue for a total of 4 sockets.

Appreciate it guys, the search advice really helped! I’m thinking I’m on the right track now with this or something similar:
