Does anyone have ideas around how to attach a siphon equipment (easy siphon) to the fermenter while siphoning into the secondary or bottling bucket? This would make my bottling tasks much easier and I can do it just by myself. Any ideas/pics/tips appreciated.

Is your secondary a bucket or carboy?
For carboys, I set my autosiphon to the desired depth and the clip a springed clothespin on it (it barely fits around it), and that keeps it from slipping further in (that's what she said).

I use a 2" plastic spring clamp around the autosiphon to keep it from dropping all the way to the bottom of the carboy.

I use a hand.
It was free and the owner hasn't come looking for it yet.

Me too, always have. I spend hours on brewday to make good beer...I can find 10 minutes to hold my siphon.
I'm glad I"m not the only one that wants to see a plastic bucket clip for the auto-siphon. I have one that'll hold 3/8" rigid hose (came with my old beer kit) and it works great for the drain-side of the siphon hose.
but it'd be nice to clip the auto-siphon to the bucket at a height that won't suck up trub.

I have a pet dog that has been specially trained to not only hold the siphon, but also to calculate the estimated fg for me. (Tip: be sure to sanitize your dog thoroughly!)
(Sorry I couldn't help it, I also like to hold mine and watch to make sure no big globs of trub or anything else float in)
