bottom left relay controls the smoke generator, bottom right relay controls the heater the relays are wired to receptacle just above them respectfully and to a auber SWA-24x1 PID TIMER controller.


the back of the Pid controller, The Green wire is the power to the PID and Timer units, The blue wire id to the thermocouple, The Brown wire is between the alarm out and smoke generator which is programmed for a timed relay for 4 hr 40 minutes ( 40 minute pre heat, 4 hour smoke ) and the orange wire controls the heater. Notice the jumper wire off to the side, tis very important, it tells the PID that the alarm relay is a timed relay over a alarm.


back of the timer which is being used as a duration clock, the red wires below are to  a switch to turn on and off the controller


back of the controller, receptacle not identified is for the smoke generator


front of controller  top unit is the pid bottom is the duration timer


been used a few times works like a  champ

So basically you have one out let with two plugs controlled and the other is just a straight plug with continued circuit right?

Looks like a good plan, looks like those are 1" share holes you cut for the plugs. These make quick work for cutting those square holes, sure you knew that but for those wanting to copy your plan.

Relay for SG and Heater same as regular pid  with an extra outlet right? Then the full time is for lights or what ever. I

Good idea. Thought of adding extra outlets for mine on the wall. This might work for mt too! Great idea.
