Yea so I have some aquariums / hydroponics that I’d like to measure the energy use as well as control individually with timers. Probably looking for a combination power bar with a wall outlet meter.
I see lots of power bars that have 1 timer for 4 outlets, but none that let me control outlets individually.
Meanwhile all the outlet meters I’m seeing have apps and give me spyware vibes.
Not categorically against “smart” stuff, but I’m hesitant to use anything with wifi connectivity that isn’t “privacy community approved.”
I already have mechanical timers Looking for upgrade suggestions.
In all likelihood that is the setup I’m gonna have to go with.
My gripe is that I already own several (bulkier) mechanical timers. So it feels really redundant to buy several outlet ones just to make it more compact.
