hey your request got me to sign up. Looks like you last check on it in Aug so maybe I'm too late. I can't tell if you have built many electronic circuits before so if I suggest something basic don't take it the wrong way. First off - 110v (assume the main house power) can be dangerous - fire, shock etc. the 555 circuit will need to run on a small dc voltage, get a datasheet on it if you have not already. suggest using a small battery for the 555 part and a relay to open and close the heavy power. Also, I bought a device (think it was $15-20) to remotely control the outside lights. It wireless controls any 110 device. It's made by dimang. hope this helps
