Smart plug for an attended space heater (alien.top)

I want to schedule a space heater to turn on a couple of minutes before my wife wakes up and turn off in 20 minutes. I’ll be in the bedroom the whole time so it will be attended. We basically want the room to be warm upon waking up. I did some searching and only saw old posts about this being unsafe. Wondering if there are any new plugs that can handle this?

Location matters here as EU plug is different than US plug.
