Finding a simple a off the shelf turn key controller isn't looking all that simple. I think I'll send the guy who built my controller a link to this forum and see if his electronics guy can come up with a better box. I want one where it is easy to set a larger number of puff duration and frequency times than the one I have now. I would also like to be able to set the number of puffs and then stop. Also, a nice digital display showing the settings and with timer displays would be great.

Thanks for all your comments and help.
I don't think it would be difficult to do in hardware. The biggest cost would be in the printed circuit board, but if other people want some that cost would be reduced as you probably can buy 5 for the same price as one. Maybe you could put the specs you would like in one post and I'll have a go at a hardware design. Then we can figure out how to get it built.
