Timers
Does anyone know of a consumer grade timer that can turn on for 5 then off for 15 for a set period throughout the day? Best I can find so far is on for 15 and off for 15.

I have several of this type
jaycar.com.au
Assuming the same functionality as mine, you can do 10 sets of on/off in a 24 hour period, of any period you like, choosing from several combinations of which days per week (one day up to every day)
I didn't pay that much, but Crest no longer seem to do them (?)
There are also lots of smart home versions around these days (cost more again)

These will do whatever time schedule you want. Requires a wifi connection. Program via an app which is easy to use.
TP-LINK TAPO-P110(1-pack) Tapo Mini Wi-Fi Plug with Energy Monitoring at The Good Guys
They also have a random function (for lamps when you are away) and sunset/sunrise triggering.

Thanks gents, I think Jack's option might work best for me. It can do 32 presets and I don;t know if on is one and off is another or on/off is counted as one, but worst case I can get 5.5 hours a day of it doing what I want. Hopefully on/off is counted as one which means I would get 8 hours.

Just picked up one of those Tapo plug-ins which was only $16.50 from Bunnos. Pretty easy to program but each on or off is counted as one function and being limited to only 32 functions per day I am a little short of the number of functions per day that ideally I was after. I believe that this can be increased with a software upgrade so I will look in to this.
