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?
Thank you to the guys at HEGE supporting Badcaps [ HEGE ] [ HEGE DEX Chart ]

Multi 110v outlets, individual timed control

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?Last edited by goontron; 11-24-2018, 10:29 AM.Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.
Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

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.Attached FilesLast edited by R_J; 11-24-2018, 10:54 AM.

or go oldschool and find an old camswitch - that's how it used to be done.
Appreciate it guys, the search advice really helped! I’m thinking I’m on the right track now with this or something similar:
