These wifi/cloud enabled smart plugs allow you to turn on/off any connected power device using the Wiwo smartphone app available on IOS/Android. You can set an automomous timer to schedule powering on/off these devices at any time. You can also set a countdown timer to power off the device after a specified period after it is turned on, or from when the timer is created.
I bought one of these devices last week and it works like a charm. These are much cheaper than similar devices like the Belkin Wemo which retail in excess of $69, or the Panasonic smart plug which retails for $89.
