Programmable Sequencing Switch?

Dec 31, 2008 1 Replies

I have six 120V wall plug devices that I'd like to turn on automatically in sequence at five minute intervals at a preset, but programmable, time each morning. I'm wondering whether some sort of programmable power-strip-like device exists that would do this. Does anyone know?

I have an Aviosys IP POWER 9258T and it can do what you want for four outputs. Aviosys also has eight output model(s). The 9258's are available Buy-It-Now for $95, shipping to US included, on eBay. Search for IP POWER

9258* or INTERNET POWER CONTROLLER

The IP POWER 9258 uses mechanical relays rather than SCRs to control power to the AC receptacles, and so can be modified to provide SPST switching of a signal or DC rather than 120VAC. Also, I prefer not to add devices to my system that depend on AC power, so I was pleased to see that it runs internally entirely on 5vdc from a small, easily-bypassed, internal AC-to-5VDC converter.

It is readily programmed though web-based GUI, by sending simple http command strings, or a VB/.net etc programming
