@mlanger@mastodon.world The Eve “smart (plugs/receptacles)” have a low tolerance for voltage spikes/brown outs. I know from experience. I was hoping for a remote reboot (have you tried unplugging…) convenience when it seemed that simple voltage variations caused the devices to fail. I still have some unused ones I’ll givee away…

@davidgillaspy@mastodon.world None of the Eves have failed, at least not so far. It was two other brands that failed. To be fair, one of them has been installed for over 10 years. The other one was a bit newer. And yes, I did try to plug-in the bad unit elsewhere. There's no reset button on it. I wound up just throwing it away.
