Hello everyone, I’m currently in the process of setting up a few smart plugs around my home to automate some lights. I’ve heard that scheduling these plugs to turn on and off requires an internet connection, which is a bit concerning for me. I was under the impression that the on/off schedules would be stored locally on the device, allowing it to function even without an internet connection. If that’s not the case, it would be a significant drawback, especially for areas where consistent internet access isn’t guaranteed.
I’ve been looking into Wyze smart plugs, but if they don’t support local scheduling, I’d love to hear recommendations for other manufacturers that do. It would be fantastic to have a plug that can operate independently of the internet, ensuring reliability regardless of connectivity issues. I’m curious if anyone else has faced this challenge or found a workaround. Your insights would be invaluable!
On a lighter note, I’ve been impressed with how smart plugs can transform a space. For instance, automating outdoor lights not only enhances security but also adds a touch of convenience. I’m excited to explore more possibilities as I continue setting up my smart home. Thanks for sharing your experiences and tips!
