So, I am coming here to find out if what I want even exists before I try to find it.
My coop is powered by electric off my main house. I currently have a outdoor heavy duty extension cord run the 150ft to the coop.
I have a water tank heater that needs to run 24/7 now til spring.
I have a coop light that needs to run on a timer and a heat light that should run on the timer as well.
The issue is that I plug into a grounded female that is built into the coop. That powers my entire coop, except for the Autodoor that is run on solar.
The power goes into the coop and powers a 2 gang outlet with a switch. The water heater is plugged into one of the outlets and the heat lamp into the other. The switch powers the daylight lamp.
Is it possible to have a timer that can work the switch for the daylight lamp? And a timer that will work the night heat lamp? But the water heater needs to stay on.
I know, I think im asking too much.
But is there any scenario where I am not running a second extension cord out there?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
