becareful, those progamable switches do not (as a general rule) handle inductive loads (such as lighting and pumps) very well even though they are rated for it. It is best to use a contactor or relay with those switches. Message me if you want more info.

I have 3 of these in my house running 8 - 100w exterior light's each around the perimeter of the outside of the house and they work great.

The one's I bought for inside the house were only $16 but can't seem to find them here in Red Deer. Need a controller to do 5 plugs any idea's of what & where I could find a suitable one.

ummm, at 16 dollars thats alot better

My controller does as many plugs as I want it to, right now running 12 controllable plugs

Can't be 100% sure it's the identical unit but I'm pretty sure I saw them at Totem (for ~$20) on clearance. Perhaps they've stopped making that model ?

That would explain why they're hard to find.
