Yes, the tape light is controlled by a mechanical switch so when it is on and has power it will have light.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's a USB plug, so if you had an adapter to plug it into the timer, then yes it would work that way too
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use a tp link plug to control mine by Alexa or app to turn on or off. Doesn't loose it's settings for me
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In my use case powering the USB turns them back on. I don't ever touch the controls on the device.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.When the mechanical timer turns back on, the LEDs will return at the same setting as when the timer turned off. (off, full on or dimmed setting.) You would not have to push the on-button to return to the original setting.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you have a usb wall plug-in for the usb I would say it works and it should stay on all the time because there is a power button on the lights
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Simple switch - will stay in "on" position when power cycled.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use it with a smart plug and it turns on and off when I ask Alexa, so I would say yes to your setup as well. As soon as it receives power its on, and the reverse when the power is cut.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I’m sure that you could if you plug a USB adapter into the timer. The plug is usb.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I read up a couple of lines here, just now, dlaithom's post September 27, 2017 saying it comes back on after power is interrupted at the same setting as when power was lost.
