Need a 3 pin type interwal switch that can be set (example to on 1 minute, off 3 minutes and repeat). Most timer switch on sale do not support this type function. Anyone know where to buy locally?

Yes normal smart plug or timer plug will not work for lots of switch on or off per hour. Need a plug with infinite loop function... Trying to find locally......

The plug I shared supports the function. I'm currently using it to power my small aquarium, and bigger aquarium in using Hager timer. Both I set to on 1 hour and of 2 hours. It can be set in minutes too.

Thanks, might give it a try and hope it really supports high wattage as claimed.

Anyone knows a similar manual (non app) type available locally.....

This not same lah, interval switch would display 2 time interval on display (on X minutes off Y minutes) and repeat few hundred times on off in 24 hours.
Timer switch can walk in shop locally and buy anytime.
Interval switch, in post above some have buy smart versions which control by app.

Smart plugs are controlled by app mechanism. The one @Zot shared is the manual type (analog / digital) which also can be set (on X minutes off Y minutes).

As I mentioned previously, I'm also using Hager which is the manual analog type which is not controlled by app. But the min on/off is 15 minutes.

Not sure on other brands, but some only offer min on/off 30 mins.

I know that some can be set time interval, not all of them. Yes, can even repeat in minute interval.
