Looking to add smart plugs across the house for lights, fans, and small appliances. What should be the primary considerations when picking a model? Things like load capacity, communication protocol, latency, and how they handle firmware updates matter, right? Also curious about best practices for placement, grouping in scenes, and ensuring they don’t interfere with existing Wi‑Fi networks. Any tips on balancing cost versus reliability, or ways to test a plug’s stability before committing to many units? Would love to hear the community’s approach.
