Thank you for the offer Mark! I actually took the GHL Mini offline since, I wish I saw yours and others' offer/instruction sooner! What I ended up doing is creating a Routine with my Amazon Echo and paired it with a Kasa smart powerstrip, with this combo I was able to achieve seconds timer. I may get back into the controller game down the road, for now I'm leaning on the good 'ol smart plugs!
Again, thank you!
