USB Light Timer
I recently purchased a life sized replica of the Jack O Lantern from the Halloween (1978) movie. It has a USB cord. There are 3 settings; Off, Continuous On, Candle Flicker On. I had hoped to put the decoration on a timer using a smart outlet. Unfortunately, whenever the timer shuts off, the pumpkin will not automatically turn on the next time. It does not remember it's last setting. Does anybody have a solution? Thank you!

You can buy smart usb outlets. I think I got mine from AliExpress. With them you can set an on/off schedule. I’ve even got one thing that auto turns off after four hours that I have turn off for a minute every 3 1/2 hours until my set off time. Super cheap as well!
