Any 3rd party timer for skimmer (non reef controller)?

[West1]

I don’t have a controller nor do I see a need for one. However, I do need some type of gadget that will pause my skimmer and auto turn on once my pump turns back on after feeding.

anyone have something like this?
Brand, model # etc pls

tyvm!

I seen this. My return pump turns off for 20min (deepwater bldc pump). The RO is a 5min delay.

this might actually work. Rather than place in the skimmer cup, place with Tunze ATO sensor. It also has a 5min delay but I think when it turns on, it should turn off again due to the sump level?

I don’t think that autoaqua will work, any other ideas?
25-30min pause/timer would be ideal.

I set up the same thing with wyze branded plugs. 2-packs are $15 at home depot I think.

You can set it up to turn skimmer off when return pump off, and turn skimmer on if return pump has been on for 20min. That's how I set mine up. Works great
