update microwave status automatically

[1vn]

more involved feature, but here are some ways I can think of to do this:

• camera + CV trigger
• some pressure plate connected to a circuit board which notifies a web hook on some service to update status of microwave

Realistically, we might be able to rig up a smart power outlet to detect how much power is in use by the microwave. Above a certain threshold means it's cooking something 😄

is there room in the budget for it, @g3wanghc?

Can't really justify $50 on a smart plug. :'^)
