Following the failure of an elderly device I am looking for a replacement plug-in timer.
I have a double socket outlet in a kitchen cabinet to which I connect washing machine and dishwasher through separate timers. I have E7, and run both overnight. To do this I need to use the override to energise the supply, load and start the machine, then return the time switch to timed operation.
The old electronic timer had a simple override - it simply changed state, a neon showed what position it was in, and switching subsequently resumed as programmed.
As far as I can tell, modern timers (I have borrowed one from another job) all have an on/off/auto button, but in order to be sure I have left it in the right state I need to peer into the cupboard with a torch to check the tiny LCD.
I can't use a pair of mechanical timers, which would otherwise be adequate for this task, since I couldn't reach the side mounted override on adjacent devices, and the socket is mounted tight to the cabinet side.
Does anybody know of a suitable device?
