Caseta switch for gas fireplace

Want to add a caseta device to control a gas fireplace. The switch on the wall just has 2 low voltage wires that complete the connection to tell the module to turn on. The module is just plugged into a power strip under the insert.

The easiest way I was thinking was to add an outdoor or lamp plug between the module and the power strip and then just permanently jumping the control wire in the switch.

Any Downsides to doing this?
