Yea, I recently ran into the same issue when I was trying to use the herpstat 4 to control the lights. The problem is, the herp 4 can turn off the power to the lights, but can't turn it back on. I still haven't quite figured out how to have the herp 4 turn it on.
So I think it's going to be the same issue with the timer. It can cut the power but not turn it back on because you have to press the button on the controller for the light to come on.
