Zt sounds as if you are going to need at the very least a timer. Perhaps some intelligence.

Consider using an Arduino. they aer dirt cheap microcontrolers. The cheapest one can work as a timer and can be set to 1/1000 of a second to any reasonable length of time. I do not remember the exact number but the max time is measured in days. They are easy to program, And I will help you.
