But a friend of mine was annoyed much more and he came up with an idea... Not sure if it makes sense... But...

His idea is to make a small gadget with light sensor to detect the state of the machine and little servo motor to press the power button. It can be attached with strong magnets.
This gadget will be connected to the WiFi network. With this gadget he will be able to integrate machine into home automation system so it will be possible to program multiple power-on / power-off timer, remote control and etc.
Yes, you can do the same by soldering to power button wires internally. But external gadget won't void the warranty.
Does it sound crazy?
