I'm sure it wouldn't take me long to knock up the same functionality on a
microcontroller.
The "Make:" controller

would be ideal, except it is not much cheaper than the timer and way more
powerful / featureful than I need.
What suggestions for a cheap / easy to program / electrically robust
microcontroller complete development board that would do the job without
having to muck about much with the hardware?
Not many uC can switch 230V :)
For low cost PCBs that could do timer stuff, look at the
Silabs, tool sticks, and esp the new C8051F530 based ones.

$9.90 for the bit you would deploy, and it has 12V to Pinheader.
