Hi! Thanks in advance to anyone who could offer any information about this question.
I am looking to use a digital recycling timer to be able to turn a 120v water pump on and off at select timing intervals. I am currently using a
"AC110V-220V Digital Display Time Relay Automation Delay Timer Control Switch Relay Module" (pic below) but I need something much smaller due to spatial restrictions. The second pic is a wiring diagram of how we hooked up the old timer to the water pump.
I would like to try and use the Adafruit TPL5110 Low Power Timer to control the timer but it is only rated for 3-5v.(pic below)
So the money question, is it possible to power a 120v water pump on and off by using a lower voltage switch to disrupt the signal or do I need other hardware like a relay to do so? (while keeping it smaller than the original timer)
Thanks for any help! I will try to update if I find out any new info
