Hi,

It must be the smart hub 2 as on previous gen smart hub they were fine and on RT-AX86U they are fine.  Sockets are the tplink HS110 smart plugs.  Been using them for prob 2 years now.  I used to have WEMO but it seems they are not doing much with them now and they were pricey so when 1 literally when bang when I turned it on one day, I’ve now switched to the TPlink ones.  As said, since I put back the RT-AX86U, smart plugs work fine so its not the smart plus, it some how a issue on smart hub 2 it seems.  Maybe I told a old one and it needs to be on for a day or so to pick up new firmware etc? not sure but I only had it on couple of hours, then discovered this issue so switch to back to the RT-AX86U (which was always the long term plan anyway).  I’ll give it a go at mine, but have a feeling I’ll get the same issue so might be a non starter in terms of using it in mine as not sure I want to go through resetting the smart plugs and re-linking to potentially get the same issue as they work flawlessly to date, even when BB gone down or power has gone one they always come back online when power is restored.
