Hydrofarm $25 digital timer. Allows you to set on-off times for each day of the week. Edit: Nevermind, this won't do every 2 days it has a week schedule of 7. Cycle timers are better, yep

I'm thinking of trying home automation switches. I bought one already.
Check out Aeon Labs micro smart switch on amazon for example. These are Z-Wave devices.
Basically, you can connect your pumps or lights to these switches. Then, using a home automation controller, like a $49 Home Depot Wink, you set any type of schedule using a phone app.
The smart switches actually can report energy usage. You need a better controller than Wink. Like a HomeSeer controller. But, if you control everything with one of these $40 switches, the software will tally up all electricity usage in kWh.
