I need a wi-fi enabled plug/receptacle that will not need constant babysitting. It will be used some 600 Km away from home and hard resetting is not an option. It needs to be able to reconnect after power failure. Is Wyze Plug up to the task or should I look for something else?

[image] habib: I’ve noticed that most smart plugs are only 10Amps. Huh? I’ve never seen one under 15 Amps, including Wyze’s. I would have thought code would require it to feature that 5-15 outlet. [image] The best smart plugs in 2025 These are the best smart plugs for raising y…

Mine are only 10amp. But, I am only using them for low draw applications like cams. I think the smaller round “button” plugs are lower Amps while the larger bricks are rated higher.

I like these. I have several other manuf, including Wyze, Gosund, and Samsung. I’ve had Wemo, and gave them to family. 15 Amp with power monitoring and that Power-On State Off/On/Last State [image] SONOFF S31/S31 LITE – Compact Design Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring US... 【Remote Con…

On anybody’s smart plugs, I’ve not seen any details or specs that describe the features available in the firmware, until you own and install the smart plug and look at its properties.

That is my problem. The larger brick type won’t fit in my weatherproof outlet box. I saw this ones, not sure how good they are. [image] Globe Electric Wi-Fi Smart Plug, No Hub Required, Voice Activated, 4 Grounded... Globe Electric Wi-Fi Smart Plug, No Hub Required, Voice Activated, 4 G…

@habib , I think if you will scoll up/down, you will see that 'goofy combo" of stuff I used to make my smart plug. Update for you. I got the 1 foot 3 prong extension cord from Amazon. I cut into the insulation and cut the L and N wires. and wired in that Basic RFR2 that you see in the picture. T…

And not that it makes a difference but to me. This Basic is the Basic RFR2. That the 2nd version of a RF smart wifi switch. I like and spread the RF version around my house -everywhere. It allows me to use a Sonoff 8-button RF switch to turn ceiling fan/light, bath light, TV, night table lamp, ki…

Looking at this female plug, you see that round collar/reinforcement at the cord, narrow/smaller than plug with ribs. I used a blade and cut that off. It allows me a tighter bend of the cord against the plug’s main body. This allowed me more room to tuck the entire goofy gadget into the cover.

Sam-Bam, thanks for going above and beyond on helping me out. The Basic configuration that you are suggesting is way to complicated for me. Also, it only offers solution for one plug (unless I am missing something. I think I am going with Kasa Smart plugs by TP-Link. It’s a good deal for four plugs…
