Hi FolksAnybody suggest a battery-powered timeswitch - needs relay contacts to switch 12v @ 1A - one on/off period per day of a couple of hours per day.The application is to try & persuade next-door-farmer's 30 daft sheep to keep the **** out of our garden, where they insist on eating our new hedging, any low-hanging fruit, prize shrubs & etc.They do this between 6 and 8 am - so the electric fence (controlled by the timer) only needs to be 'live' for that period of time -which will save on battery life...So - any suggestions please ?ThanksAdrian

Battery-powered timeswitch - kit or ready-made ?

Hmm - I think half a pound of semtex is perhaps a little OTT - sort of an aerial barbecue ?

Make the foxes very happy, though! Adrian

If you think I'm going to get up at 6am to feed Mint Aero to a bunch of sheep.....

...besides, I'd get talked about! Adrian
