Hi All
Is it correct it's not safe to use smart plugs to operate oil rads and electric fires? or does anyone know of a safe one please?
many thanks

I’ve been using smart plugs on them for years with no issues.

I use a tapo one


Look at the rating on the back of the smart plug, it’ll tell you what I can handle

I program mine to come on and then off in the morning

And also have a 8pm OFF - so if it gets turned in manually, it always turns off before bed
