Looking at the Auberins website and their timers, what I'd like to do is set a timer (or clock) to sequence a countdown (or specific time in the middle of the night) to start the heating and circulation via an electric element and pump.

I'm missing some brain cells. Does anyone see a way to do this using auberins pieces?
 
Sure you can make it work. I would think about using a temperature high limit, liquid level switch, and a pump interlock. You don't want any sort of melt down in the middle of the night! I do this all the time with my setup. I looked at the Auber timer and it will close a set of contacts when the count down or up is finished. There should be no problem using this. It's more a question of how comfortable you are with electrical wiring.
