DIY Light Strips with Driver - how do I get a timer on this?

I have HLG drivers with samsung light strips. I can simply connect the two with wires and plug it into the wall but that means its on 24/7 unless i pull the plug. How do I get it more controlled, say on a timer and on a switch that is programmable easily, like automatic 12/12 or 18/6 without me needing to manage it?

Plug it into a timer..

lol thanks, much easier than i thought (was thinking of some weird controller board that comes in after the HLG before the first strip...). are there quality issues with certain timers, like there is with quality of different brands of LED makers?

if not, just going to get something off amazon

I've been using cheap timers from Walmart. Done me fine for the last year and a half.
