My coop is inside a haybarn. It's pretty dark without the barn doors open, and with winter coming, I'm looking for a timer I can use to turn lights on in the morning and turn off in the evening. We're in northern New York so the days will be getting quite a bit shorter and there will be nights when it snows 2-3 feet and I won't be able to get to the barn until I can dig myself into it.
Most outdoor timers I've seen are for outdoor decorations and turn on at dusk for a set amount of time, not something I can set the time on my own. I've seen indoor timers that would be appropriate for my needs, but I'm worried about the durability. It won't be directly in the weather, but there's a chance it could get wet if it's really snowing and blowing here. And I need something that can withstand harsh temperatures.
If anyone has any suggestions, please send them my way! Thanks!
