Hello R2R,
Hopefully this is the correct area to ask this.
Right now I'm fw but am getting things ready for my first sw so this applies to both.
I manually shut down my tanks (pumps, filters, etc) when I feed my fish which isn't at a regular time of day other than it's usually once in the morning and once at night. My problem is that I have periodically forgot to turn the system back on. This usually happens if I get distracted then leave the house or in the evening if I'm tired and not paying attention. I go to bed only to wake up the next day to silence and realize I forgot to turn everything back on. Thankfully my FW guys are pretty tolerant of this but I don't think a sw system would be so forgiving (or am I wrong)?
Sooooo.... Is there a timer or controller that can be set to turn on automatically if it detects power is off for a certain period of time (ex: turn on after 30 mins if no power detected)? I've been looking at timers but so far I have only been able to find ones that go off then back on again at preset times (like for lights). Maybe this is wishful thinking? LOL
