Automating electrical lights

[omoeko]

Hi All.

I would like to know what products are available to automate the switching on/off of my external lights.

The way I did this in my garage was to wire the light to a plug, and then used one of those timer plug sockets to turn on/off my flood lights etc. I do like to believe there is a better way to do this or a better product, please advise.

Thanks.

GJD Dygizone is a nice controller. Has lots of operating modes that include PIR and timed options.
