Curious if anyone uses their apex energy bars for frequent oscillating items like back and forth wave making. Not planning to that specific thing but curious more about the longevity of the bar itself tripping the relay at a seconds interval

It’s generally recommended to limit frequent cycling of the outlets. For example, Reefers run into problems when they have too tight of a temperature range for their heater which causes frequent cycling, then outlet failure. I’d look at using another electronic timer for frequent oscillating, then back it up with the Apex if desired.
