Reef Factory - Power Switcher... min time 2min - What else can I use to power / cycle my Plank Feeder?

[Dukereefnz]

I am new to Reef Factory and have purchased a Reef Factory - Power Switcher to control my Plank Feeder... it seems like a perfect option.
But ... min time is 2min


If you program it to start at 10:00 and stop at 10:01
It starts at 10:00 and stops at 10:01:59 so 2min almost.

New tank setup.. seemed like a good option..

The plan was to use this to control my reef equipment, first up was my Plank Feeder...

New tank setup, I will share my experience as I set these up these RF bits of kit..!

Yes a wifi power switch, but I am expecting great things moving forward with this unit connecting to other Reef Factory devises.
Having control anywhere is very cool.

If only it could do 5sec time cycle not 2min!

The Smart Reef Looks good, early days, just do not use your phone unless you have magnifying glasses..! LOL

While this is only an issue for small on / off cycles, its no good for my plank feeder....

So what other options are there?
Do I need to bale now and buy an Apex?

What do other people use to control their plank feeder?

Made in poland?

I've had my dealing with polish manufacturers(Pacific Sun), and I will never go that route again. If I was closer to the manufacturer I might consider it. But getting any help from poland to the states in next to impossible.

I have to say RF have been very good at answering questions.
But the answers have not helped my problem.
They say the timer is in minutes only... really?

Anyone know a timer that can do 5sec?

I use a Kasa smart power strip. Works flawless. A true 1 min minimum.
