I mean give the thing an USB interface so I can use an app to set timing presets instead of whatever UX nightmare it'd otherwise be and I'm in, nowadays it's probably cheaper to throw in a MOSFET and tiny chip than it is to use a bimetallic strip, much fewer and less fickle parts and when you already have the capability to be programmable, why not use it. Connecting it to an actual network? Get out of here.
