Block possibility of accidentally powering the Tapo plug off

Hello,
I am using Tapo mostly for energy monitoring.
Big button for turning the smart plug on and off in Tapo app in my case does no good, cause it allows me to accidentally turn my whole circuit off.
Therefore, I am suggesting a functionality that'll allow to block current plug state (on or off) in the settings or provide an option to turn on additional warning before powering off the plug.

The power monitoring feature of this plug is valuable.

Refrigerator -> Only power usage logs, never off
The oldest message in this thread is from January 2023. How many requests and explanations are needed to make it clear that it will be a great feature?

I am monitoring the power consumption of an entire server setup, accidental switch off could damage the hardware, a simple option to disable the button would be great, especially since there are children around.
