Timer set lighting and safe heating?

I have a 36x18x36 (100 gallons) terrarium that will support real plants. The temperature of the room averages around 65 degrees year round and the humidity percent stays around 45-50%. I go on vacation for long periods of time every once in a while and I'm trying to look into a timer for day and night lights (preferably with blue LEDs for night and white/yellow for day) as well as a way to heat the terrarium to a temperature that's safe for a crested gecko and live plants (around 70 degrees). I'm looking for a heating system that reads from the thermometer and makes sure to keep it at a constant temperature that I can set, but I haven't had a lot of luck finding one.

I'm 99% sure that these two systems do exist, I just can't find them. The room for this terrarium doesn't get a lot of real sunlight so I'm pretty sure the day light would need to emit a small amount of UVA and UVB for the plants.

If anyone knows of any setups, please let me know!

It sounds like you’re looking for an outlet timer and a thermostat. While I’m still looking for a good thermostat myself (from what I’ve read most thermostats don’t work well with heat lamps), I use smart plugs regularly for timing charging devices and turning off lights. These are the ones I use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B8W2KHZ/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20
There are other timers like them that are a bit cheaper, but these work well for the price and the ability to program them from my phone is a nice plus.
