    Has anyone used this or any power strips with timers?

    I did. I didn't care for it too much. The digital one actually never worked. The battery connection was lame and it would stay connected so your settings would be lost.

    I had the previous model with the old school timer built in and I had problems with that one too - the timer tabs were not the best and would not shut off the light sometimes.

    SO I am back to the original timers you find in hardware stores.

    I found this one at Lowe's. For 15.00 I got a timer that I can set to turn the lights on/off different schedules for m-f and sat/sun when I am home more.
