Home automation and grow lights.
Hello-
I am running a digital 150w ballast and I would like to add it to my list of home automation appliances. This would allow me to control the lights via wifi, just like the other things in my apartment (TV, lights, thermostat). The plug goes into an outlet and then can be controlled from your smartphone. You can monitor the usage and even use this as a timer.
Question is-
Do you think it would be safe to run the 150w on this plug?

Are there any risks? I don't want it to fry the outlet or pop a circuit if the light is used on a timer with the app.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks for your help, please excuse any typos as I am on my phone.
