Could you build this?

No Building custom standalone firmware for specific smart power strip hardware requires embedded systems programming, microcontroller reverse-engineering, and hardware flashing expertise.

What it would actually take: Development requires identifying the microcontroller (e.g., ESP8266/ESP32 or Tuya Beken chip), dumping existing firmware over UART/JTAG, reverse-engineering GPIO pin mappings for relays and power monitoring ICs (like BL0937), and compiling custom C/C++ firmware using ESP-IDF or ESPHome.
