I'm wanting a switch with a button that will turn off my canister pump (Fluval FX4) while fish are eating for about 10 minutes and then turn back on by itself. A one button switch that when activated, turns off the filter for 10 minutes and then turns the pump back on in 10 minutes by itself.

If you feed at the same time every day you could use a smart plug and program the off time. You could also activate with the app if you just don't want to have to get into the stand to turn it off and on. I've seen switches that turn off after a set time but not turn on. But electrical isn't my thing.
