I actually bought a smart plug that can shut off my internet between 8pm and 6am the next day. I'll try it when I get back home after the holidays.

It's a bit of a hassle to setup because I control it by connecting to the WiFi which needs to be unplugged when I plug this smart plug :D but I couldn't find a bluetooth one on amazon (if someone has one please share)

I've seen this analog one in Germany: http://www.massive-grow.de/images/stories/virtuemart/product... , but it ticks as some part rotates.

Digital versions are also available. The only sound is when the relay activates or deactivates the power.

It's called a timer switch in English.
