Reprogramming A $13 Consumer Wifi Outlet

My condo’s living room is…challenging from a lighting and electric standpoint. It’s about 18’ by 21’, with ceilings that slope down from 22’ at one side to 11’ from the other. There is a light switch in one corner, connected to a single outlet about 8’ away. If I want that light switch to control several lights at various parts of the room, someone would have to run wiring around ~40’ of wall, over doorways and through studs.
