   There are quite a few off-shore assembled circuits that will do what you want   
   but will not fit in the space. Additionally, they typically need a small   
   amount of DC to work the circuitry. There are several I've used and they work   
   fine. Since you indicated    
   an additional waterproof box is not desired, I suggest a box extender and   
   possibly one of those cards. No matter what you do it's gonna get crowded in   
   there. Oh, BTW, there are some programmable DIN rail mounting devices as well   
   for mounting closer to    
   the breaker box. Yet another idea is to add Z-Wave (Smartthings) to your home   
   to automate this and other devices in your home. Replace that wall switch with   
   a z-wave and you can at least turn it off and on remotely. There may be a way   
   to add a turn-on    
   delay as well depending on the switch.
