Here’s a dual voltage (120/240/277V) WiOn smart “switch”.
I just did this a couple weeks ago. Took it off and put this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZYLTJ16/ . Wifi, not Z Wave. Just downloaded the app and set the timers.
Interesting choice of words though... it's a timer, it's already automated. You set the pins and it turns on and off accordingly, set and forget. You just don't have remote control, which technically is the opposite of automation.
Edit, because I juat saw your other comment about wanting Alexa or Smartthings control. There are ZWave boxes like this. But honestly so far the only reason I've seen you give is to tie the timing to sunset. If that's it I think it may not be worth it for you to not stick with what works, as sunset doesn't change much every day. I replaced mine because the timer stopped working, plus I wanted more complex schedules and I often turn the pump on or off on demand, from out on the deck away from this box.
In the past I had assumed I'd be buying ZWave too, but nowadays I've come to not put that much trust in Smartthings and Zwave. Wifi seems to be the future.
I just ordered one of these to use for my pool pump. I'm going to try an flash it with tasmota like this procedure as it should have an ESP8266. If it doesn't work and I don't brick it, the stock firmware still is a better solution than the cheap mechanical timer that is there now.
For WiFi, I would use this WiOn unit, for z-wave, this GE unit

Just looks like it's for stuff like pool pumps or fans or other stuff that's not strictly a smart outlet. I've heard of Wion before and they make smart outlets.
