Controlling Window Air Conditioners

I have a window airconditior in my computer/bedroom that can not be set to a specific tempertuare.I was wondering if anyone knew of a electronic thermostat that would go between the wall socket and the air conditioner that would allow me to set different tempertuares for during the day when only the computers are there and then for nights when I am in the room. I don’t like leaving the unit running all day, so now it gets hot until I can get home and turn on the unit

There are those little thingamajigs that turn lights off and on, why wouldn’t that work during the day? :confused:

Well I don’t know if they can safely handle the load of an air conditioner. I’m assuming someone else here has gone through the same situation and has some ideas. I will looking into them though

a timer would be the best and easiest option but just make sure it can handle the high current,
