Please help me find the right timer.

I've been all over the boards and to just about every local store you can think of. I bought a timer from Home Depot but it only has 2 on/off settings. I need a timer for my ultrasonic humidifier. Everyone says it should come on every 2 hours from 10-15 minutes.
What timer has this capability and where the hell do I find it?
Will this one work?
Here's a picture.

Thanks in advance for any help.

They'll work with a little mod. There's a tek for the mod that I can't find right now. I'll keep looking. But that one the way it is won't work. Good Luck. Hippie Chick

I've already looked at the mod tek for this. Is there is a timer that doesn't require a modification? Thanks for the reply Hippiechick.

the timer you are looking for is a cycle timer, they are commonly used in hydroponic applications (thats how i used mine forever, and i always see them in grow shops). I dont know if any shroomery sponsors have one but if not you could google cycle timer and find one. (they are kinda pricey)

I found it. It's a hard wired unit with a receptacle, but has 14 on/of settings and is digital. Home Depot has it $19.99. I'm a damn good electrician so I'll be getting this one.
Thanks for all of the help people. I really do appreciate it.

That's the one alright. I was wrong on the hard wiring though. That bad boy plugs directly into a receptacle. With 14 on/off settings, you can't go wrong. I am naming this timer "The official timer of the Shroomery".
I've searched all over the net and this one is by far the best for the money.
