I controlled my props this way last year, it worked out really well, except for the fact that our ToT's were few and far between, I left everything out and would go in the house to be with friends, come out a min or two later with the realization that I had missed a group.The simplest way to trigger a prop and get the exact timing that you want is by a remote switch. I have my TCT (and other pneumatic props)on a remote that is sold for exterior lights (Xmas display, typically)....it just plugs in and you can press the remote button to trigger the prop......
I know this doesn't solve your issue of not wanting to sit there watching the props all night, but when you start seeing the reactions of the folks you are scaring it just doesn't seem to matter....
If you had a steady stream of ToTs to keep you entertained, a remote works awesome, otherwise a mat switch or another one of the suggestions above would be better.
