Only one outlet on my smart plug was working. The power never went off even though a little light goes out and the app tells me it’s off.

So I did a little research and found out that if it’s clicking, the solenoid is trying to turn it off but a power relay is stuck (“fused”).
Hmm... there’s nothing like a little vibration to “unstick” stuff, so I dropped it on the garage floor repeatedly from ~6 feet.
Voila!
I’m back in business!
Gotta love low-tech solutions to high-tech problems.![Red Eye :eyesmoke: :eyesmoke:](/styles/smilies/redeyesmoke.gif)
