You don’t necessarily need to buy a smart outlet switch to schedule your lights or other appliances; this Intermatic timer can set three on/off intervals every day for just $10. The obvious use case here is to make your home looks occupied while you’re on vacation, but it could also control sprinkler systems, air conditioners, slow cookers, or basically anything else with a mechanical power switch and an AC plug.
