You can use a timer to power the unit on and off. The switch of the unit will need to be pre-set to the desired position (high or low). However, we highly recommend the following: 
-  The timer has a power rating at least 20 watts minimum 
-  The timer has a current rating to be at least 0.5 Amperes AC minimum 
-  The timer is labeled “heavy duty” 

\n

Furthermore, the Dohm is not made to be used on a dimmer switch. (You can use a timer with it, but not a dimmer switch.) The motor isn't compatible with the way a dimmer switch operates.

You may also be interested in our Dohm Connect.  It is an app-enabled Dohm sound machine.  You can set a schedule in the app to control when you want the Dohm to turn on/off.
