DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any projects you undertake. I am only sharing what I did, and my success with it thus far. Build at your own risk.

So, I wanted a better power strip than the one I had been using from the store that I couldn't use half of the outlets on because the transformers were oriented differently with all my equipment. Decided to build one using a project box off of amazon, some clip in outlets, terminal strips, and some wifi relays. Not sure about the wifi relays long term, but we'll give it a shot, and keep an eye on it. Only used the relays on the ATO, and return pump (to simplify water changes).

Can link a parts list if anyone is interested. Total cost was around $90, with 2 relays left over.
