I recently encountered an unusual issue with my smart socket that has left me a bit concerned. After turning the socket off for a while, upon reconnecting it, the relay began pulsing rapidly, creating a loud clicking noise. While no fire incident occurred, the rapid pulsing is worrisome, especially considering the potential fire risks associated with such behavior.
Upon investigation, it appears that the socket’s relay was attempting to process all the automation commands it had missed while offline. This resulted in a rapid succession of actuations, which is both concerning and potentially dangerous.
I would greatly appreciate any insights or solutions from the community on how to address this issue. Has anyone else experienced similar behavior with their smart sockets? Are there known fixes or workarounds to prevent the relay from pulsing excessively upon reconnecting?
Additionally, I would like to know if there are any best practices or settings adjustments that can be made to ensure the socket operates safely and efficiently, especially when integrating with home automation systems. Your expertise and experiences would be invaluable in resolving this issue and ensuring the safe operation of my smart socket.
