Dosing Pump Timer for the ACIII

hollback

Team RC
So I purchased a Drew's Dosing pump to dose vodka. I tested it and found that it averaged about 1.5 ml per minute. I'm currently dosing 0.6ml of vodka per day and all at one time. In an ideal situation, I need to run the pump for several seconds, a few times a day.

So I'm not as fortunate as some of you to own an Apex controller. I still have a ACIII which is great but I can only control outlets down to a single minute. I found a thread on RC from a few years ago discussing a timer as a seconds controller. I contacted SWINGRRRR but he said that he never actually made it. Well, an electrician friend from work and I put one together.

So here you go SWINGRRRR!

Here is a short video. I have the power going to the socket when the timer is in the off state which is about 11 seconds. I have a light plugged in so you can see when the outlet getting power. You can also see the LEDs on the power supply and the timer.
