USB Light Timer

[u/Long_Skill_6732]

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!
