The wife left the iron on again this morning .. so I decided to do something technical about it.
The local Middy's have two switches that can help, one pnumatic and one digital. The pnumatic one is cheaper at about $40, but I hate them and they have a massive backorder list already. The digital one costs over $130 which is just plain ridiculous.
So I turn to this newgroup.
Is anyone aware of a commercially available timed switch that I can use that doesn't cost a fortune? (heh, just thought .. maybe I should mount a PIR under the ironing board!)
Second option would be a kit that I can purchase off-the-shelf and build.
Third, and thus least popular option would be a simple circuit (I guess using a 555 timer, some sort of resistor (or even variable) and a 250v relay ..)
Any thoughts and ideas, greatly appreciated.
Cheers! Rick
