The simpliest way is to run 2 instances of mining program. One with high intensity the other one with very low intensity, each mining to it's own/different address all the time.
Miner with low enough intensity will not eat much hashrates from the miner with high intensity, so the one with low intensity can be actually considered "custom devfee".

Doing it this way can be actually even better and more profitable than letting miner to switch addresses every hour or so.

Btw. depending on algorithms and settings, sometimes running two instances of miner program on the same hardware can be even more profitable – the algorithms will not eat much hashrates from each other, if any! So when those hashrates are added together they can be even higher and more profitable in the end!
Hence, that's probably the way how Claymore came to it, that it can be more profitable to run two instances/threads on the same rig. Wink

It works even with any regular single miners. Just run two instances of your favorite miner on the same rig with various algorithms at the same time and see.
If one algorithm is memory heavy and the other one is core heavy, the resulting profitability will be higher in the end when income is added together.
