On the plant waterer, some of us need a reminder or our plants die. (I can grow catnip or Aloe Vera - as both are really HARDY - other succulents too - and don't (always) kill those, from underwatering. Most anything else, dies a dry death. I'm just spoiled - too used to cats & dogs, where if I mess up & their water dish gets empty, I *HEAR* about it, and/or am led to the offending "Broken" water dish o'plenty. Few plants bother to meow at me, or bother to lead me to their empty water dish. Much less drop their empty food dish repeatedly, until they have my attention (In bad cases, on my foot, or on my head if I'm asleep!), as Zeuss does... Some of us need light timers, or (as life's pretty busy!) we end up erasing that 16C622 for about 3-4 DAYS... (Managed >24 hours once, still works ) I just gave up & bought a mechanical to get it DONE with, TOO busy! My cats would love to confiscate all my catnip, if only it'd GROW! (Something wrong with the soil here as everything BUT catnip grows in the yard?)
