I like automation, but I prefer things to run independently if possible.
One way to do this is via clocks and timers.
-
what is this type of automation called? What keywords can I combine to find these tools?
-
if I want power to be cut by time automatically, is there a gang extension cable I can get to do this?

I want to set my lights to a timer. I couldn’t find a manual timer, so I had to get an IoT timer instead. Since I cheaped out with some rubbish Chinese switch, it was a pain to setup. Anything easier to set a 24hr cycle for?
Thanks!
I’d go for a more advanced system, at least if it’s a little more than an outlet or two. It can still run offline. O ce installed, you can deny HomeSeer or Home Assistant access to the internett.
Much easier to handleand easier to expand.
I also would go for a more advanced system… But OP seems to be explicitly saying they want to avoid that.
And although it isn’t MY preferred approach, I can respect that they want to go in another direction. I’m not stackOverflow
