Needing 120v Socket w/ timer having dual but opposite plugs

[sonicrealism]

For reasons I'll not go into just yet, I need a 120v timer that will turn on lights and other equipment for a period of time and then when they switch off, a different set of equipment will turn on. I've tried searches for plug-in timers that have multiple outlets but only find ones that are tied to the timer for on/off on one plug and another plug that is simply a bypass (i.e., always on).

My fallback will be to have two timers, but that's not as elegant a solution as I'd like.

Has anyone every come across such a 120v switch timer?

Thanks.

I just trained my wife's pet tarantula to work my timers. I used crickets, and it picked up my demands after only 5 or 6. Next up is bring me a beer training

Lol

I confess I didn’t even know a bypass plug was possible. I don’t know of anything here.

Found an option to try ...

I just stumbled across this at Amazon. I'm ordered it and will give it a try. My goal is to have the shutting off one energized circuit to be timed with the energizing of another.

That should do the trick. I'd prefer a mechanical timer, to be honest, but I'll work with something programmable.

If I understand you correctly, then this should work.

okapizebra, you did indeed understand me correctly. Thank you. I have cancelled my order and will instead pick this one up. My local Petco says they have it in stock. Thanks again.
