sometimes it's better to use analog

It's just good old mechanical electronic technology, not the Internet of Things. It doesn't display LED lights, receive voice commands, or sync with an app that turns on/off the sunrise/sunset time in your city. It's just a plug adapter breaker switch with a pin ring that controls the clock you want to turn on and off every day. Pretty inventive, by the way! I love that it's a dual socket that controls two inputs but leaves the other plug of your outlet available, with an hourly/daily timer adjustable in 15-minute increments, and a permanent-on slide switch. This is perfect for our small stairwell Christmas tree with an extension for the pre-lit garland on our entryway banister. The downside can be a rough estimate if you set the current time slice, but you can get close enough (e.g. but can be annoying in BR (along with a ticking clock). We run them around Christmas every year (e.g .Early December through St. Patrick's Day in March, sometimes Easter in April because it's winter in New England, #hygge) and use one in the LR apartment all year round to keep the light coming home.k.Comfortable!
