Timer switches: literally just a clock and a switch

@TechConnectify mechanical timers are great.

I'd actually use them, if those motors wouldn't produce noise 24/7. So digital it is for me!

(also I'm now somewhat hooked onto home automation - so now everything is always digital for me, comes at double the price and I'm constantly switching batteries and wondering why nothing works. FUN!)
