Hi All,
I need a timer so that I can press a button and it turns on and or off for just a few mins.
This would be perfect but the lowest setting is too long at 15min. Timer
I don't want to have to hard wire it if I don't have to. Anyone know of a product like this that I can set by the min?
Thanks,
Fishroom Bum

Highly suggest getting a smart plug. You can set them up with amazon echo to have a delay turn off. If you don't want to go with a smart plug though this is a more traditional option.

Thank you, I will check it out. Can you program it with an application or do "have" to buy the Echo product?

I use these smart plugs. They have a simple to use app, and don't require a hub.

Pefect, thanks everyone. No more turning on the water to refill a tank, the doorbells rings and then I realize the water has been running for 5 mins. too long. This has happened to me before and I had a little flood.

Are you refilling from a tap or using a barrel and pump? I use this irrigation timer on my outdoor tap for my pond - it includes a manual function where I can select, like, 1-2 minutes or whatever, hit “manual” and it will turn on the water for that amount of time.

+1 for Smart Plug. I use Alexa and just say " Feed fish". That triggers a routine that turns off my pump for 8 minutes and then turns it on again.

I can also say "Turn off pump" and it will turn it off for 1.5 hours(and then back on) for a water change just incase I forget to say " Turn on pump". The Alexa routine also reminds me " Did you add Prime" since that it a big deal when using tap water for changes. Lots of options. I favor Kasa plugs.

I second the Kasa plugs (TP Link)

XP Aqua has some really great products. I currently have this and it has been working perfectly for atleast 6 months now.
