Excerpt

If you do not put the smart plug into a 'room

and

' on the app it is therefore 'unassigned',

then

and the app will have no control over the time that the outlet on the smart plug

.You

is on or off. If you turn it on manually using the button on the front of it, you must also remember that when the hub restarts (which is once a week on a

Sunday

Monday) or there is a power cut, then the smart plug defaults to the off state, so be careful not to plug anything into it which needs to be on all of the time

.You

such as fridges or freezers.

To control the timing of the outlet of the smart plug from the app, you first need to add a room to the app to control the smart

plugs

plug.
