  They just said the smart timers/meters don’t work. Maybe a non internet one with some regular timers. I have grow lights that have 12, 6, or 3 hour timers that repeat the start time daily as long as a power outage doesn’t reset them.

  Lower tech solution that would probably work for them, but someone would still have to make it. Not sure if they exist but wouldn’t be surprised if they do.

    You need a smart button pressing device. Something like :

    amzn.to/40vd8SN

    I have not used this personally, but I have a home assistant setup that does operate based on real time energy prices and it’s awesome.
