Want your misting pump to run for just a few secon Want your misting pump to run for just a few seconds at a time? 💧⏱️

Most smart plugs only let you set timers in minutes — but what if you need a 3-second mist for your dart frog terrarium or vivarium?

🧠 Here's the trick:
✅ Use a Sonoff smart plug
✅ Enable inching mode via the eWeLink app
✅ Set your exact ON duration in seconds!

It’s budget-friendly automation for precise misting, foggers, or hydroponic setups.
