You need a light to switch on for 30 minutes, then off, then repeat. Or a pump to cycle every four hours while you're out the back. You don't want to wire up a relay board from scratch or buy a $200 commercial timer that's overkill for one circuit. This Jaycar programmable interval timer module runs off 12 VDC with low current draw, and you set the on/off interval to whatever your application needs. There's an internal reset button for quick reprogramming, and if you'd rather trigger a reset from across the room, an SPST NO switch can be wired in to do the same job. One small board, one clear function: time something on, time it off, repeat. Plug it into your 12 V supply, program the interval, leave it running. Add it to cart and get that repetitive switching handled without babysitting a multimeter
