That's a great idea. Essentially, all you'd have to do is copy the
original circuit, change the transistor & resistors to achieve a lower
standby current draw, and use sealed relays. You can have the circuit
boards developed for cheap at any PCB printing place and solder it
together yourself, or find a manufacturer to do the whole thing.

Either way, I'd imagine you could sell these improved controllers for
half the cost of Zilla's units and still make a fair profit.
