I think it depends on the sensor and the CFL, but in general, yes.
My timer has a calendar built in that takes into account my latitude and DST, and switches the lights on at dusk, and off at dawn. The only warning it had about CFL is to not use magnetic ballast bulbs, which I don't think any of the common ones use. Most are electronic ballast.
So, I'm running CFL outside, CFL in the can lights indoors, and incandescent in places that don't get much "on time", such as bathroom vanity lighting.
I can't wait to replace the can lights with LED because the startup time to reach full brightness is unacceptable, and it would be nice to have a dimmer.

I once called the county to have my sewer disconnected, and they told me it wasn't possible. I told them that I didn't want to pay the crazy sewer bill, and they said the house will continue to accrue the by-monthly sewer fee until the house is no longer there, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
I'm paying $40 / month for sewer on top of the water bill, which fortunately is very small.
For $40 / month, I should get internet access thrown in for free.
