What kind of light timer should I use to switch lights on automatically while I’m away to make it look like someone is home?

Use a simple plug-in timer or an electronic timer to switch one or more lamps on and off on a schedule [#21943320] Simple timers are accurate to about 15 minutes, while electronic ones are more precise and can have a battery-backed clock [#21943320] For a better presence simulation, use two or three timers in different rooms so the pattern is less predictable [#21943320] An electronic rail-mounted dual-channel timer with up to 16 programmes can also control two sockets, for example via an extension lead to lights in different rooms [#21943341] You can also put a radio or hi-fi on the timer so there is sound as well as light [#21943320] These devices were described as simple, reliable, and inexpensive [#21943359]

I don’t know why you’re confirming my correct use of this punctuation mark, yet you’re not correcting the non-existent word ‘tempaki’ in the post >>21943820 to its correct form, namely ‘tępaki’.
