Timed outlets exist. The normal method is to, say, plug in a curling iron into a safety outlet and then push a button. Might push a button for a 10-minute timer. If you forget about the curling iron, the timer breaks the connection and no power to the curling iron. I want a plug that always counts down any time the plug gets power, restarting the countdown if the plug loses and then regains power. Then, I could plug the Avast into the safety plug, the plug into the WiFi strip. I control the Avast then with the HC4 but have a hard cut of power if that outlet on the WiFi strip stays on past, say, 5 minutes.

Does this exist?
