Need something along the lines of a Shelly 1 Plus that can be in 140F temperatures (alien.top)

Title says it all. Shelly devices are only rated up to 105F, and I need to control an outlet in my attic (it powers a hot water recirculation pump). It needs to work with an inductive load since it's powering a motor.

Any suggestions? It can be Z-Wave, Zigbee, or WiFi. Will tie back to Home Assistant.

Clearly I misread the original post. A remote relay would be the simplest solution, assuming there are no outlets down-wire from the one you're looking to control. Otherwise you're likely looking at an extension cord to another outlet or doing some home wiring.
