I'm looking for a doser similar to a mini Kamoer however does not need an app and has a manual button to activate a timed dose.

I can wire in a timer however it lacks the easy programming I'm looking for.

Any ideas?

The brs dosers are always on unless unplugged or ran on a smart outlet.

You could possibly put them on a timer to set them to run for the right amount of time to dose however much you want.
I'm actually looking for a switch, in that case, that can be inline and run only when the button is pressed for "X" number of micro seconds. Then be able to repeat that action whenever and however frequently I need.

I don't need the precision of a motorized repetitive pipette doser and figure I can find/make something for $1,200 less.

It's not going to be used for dosing but part of a manufacturing process.

Inline programmable delay timer and relay wired into the on/off port of a simple peristaltic pump will work. Button press activates the relay, delay timer counts down the time you need, and at the end disengages the load.

Are you actually looking for something that is accurate down to a fraction of a second, surely the millionth of a second is an exaggeration.

He said micro! 10^-6 !

Is the human body capable of pushing a switch for such a small amount of time

That's what I'm looking for, the ones I've used in the past are not particularly friendly for a novice employee to adjust but I may have found a board on Amazon with a readout and separate switch.

Just need to pot it and wire up... and set an extinguisher near by lol.
