I just need one outlet timer that can be set to seconds. I have a Kasa plug but it only allows 1 minute at the minimum for setting time.

I do have an Apex etc., but I'd rather just get one single outlet to be timed. Is there anything I can grab off of Amazon that will do the trick, or do I really need to setup an Apex controller to do this?
 
While Alexa and google don't normally support functions down to the second, only minutes, you might be able to work around it via a routine using the "wait" function.

Set a routine in the Alexa app for the Kasa Plug
Turn on Kasa Plug
Wait 10 seconds
Turn off Kasa Plug

This should cycle the plug on and then off after 10 seconds. You can set the wait time to any number of seconds you need.

just be aware that this method is not 100% reliable if the wait time is too short.

might be worth a try though.
