• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Be warned Meross Smart Plug

We had a discussion about these a while back. They claim to be 13A. They are not. The contact between the pins on the plug and their socket is high resistance. High resistance = heat = why the plug is not impossible to remove.

Warranty claim is underway

Big Clive (you tube) did a teardown and repair on another make of these things and found the relay to be underrated for 13 amp resistive load let alone for an appliance with motors in.
To be sure, go for a known brand or just use them on light loads.
Two each of two brands that so far are working well. Highest load is a chest freezer that I’m monitoring.
