I don't think anyone is offering to help at all. As for politeness, I wrote baaavery politely and baaavery clearly.
I am not an idiot not to know about the existence of sockets which can be switched off and on via the internet. Because you can even talk and videoconference over the internet.
You can even launch ballistic missiles and spaceships. You don't need to be an electrician to know this.
I'm not an electronics engineer and I don't even have a clue, but I know that such a device needs some kind of relay, some kind of bimetal or other mechanical valve which, after some time, will switch on the circulation of electricity.
And that's why I turned to the electronics forum, thinking that even if you can't buy it, maybe someone will do it. For which I will pay whatever it takes.
I got in return an answer from the wise guys from which I got as much as from a bunch of carrots. So nothing.
I can return it, and I also do not need such advice. But how to return it, when the packaging is so effectively sealed that it is impossible without damage.
I could throw it in the seller's face, because I also asked him before buying. In response - "of course, this is what you need"
Exchanging correspondence who is right is also not for me. Because I will lose more on postage.
In a word -
Bunch of idiots who consider themselves all-knowing and as a result even read with understanding the problem, let alone good advice. A socket will stay for me, at least I will light my cat on the plot when I see that he walks in the shadow.
Professionals and electronic engineers from God's grace - unite. There is strength in stupidity.
Sorry, but with this kind of treatment I'm sick of professionals. There's a programme called "You'll be pleased".
