Smart plugs offer convenience, but setup and integration may be tricky for some users. It requires accessing outlets, unplugging current devices, and ensuring connection.
Avoid plugging in:
High-Power Appliances: Devices like space heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, or any large appliances exceeding the smart plug’s maximum load (typically 13 amps) to prevent overheating or damage.
Devices with Motors: Items like refrigerators or washing machines can cause surges that may harm the smart plug.
Sensitive Electronics: Devices requiring a stable power supply (e.g., medical equipment) may not function properly with a smart plug, as they can introduce fluctuations.
