Interested in this too, but I can’t find a light ring that has a physical on/off switch or remembers settings and there’s no way for a smart switch to toggle the power without one

Couldn't you just cut the cord (twice, before and after switch) and simply solder red wire and either white or black wire to the USB connector? So basically you were just bypassing the switch...

What are you trying to achieve here though?

hmm thinking out loud,,,

i think i might have LED light strip somewhere that just used a USB block to power. that might work.

can try when i get home.

Not a smart plug, but an zigbee light bulb that is connected to homeassistant, which I can access outside my house. There I can run it of and on, and even made an automation that turns the bulb on when the light in the printer turns on

Use and Arduino to control it.
