Add option to disable/lockout power off/on on plugs (or confirmation required)

[darkroom]

One of my plugs in monitoring how much power my internet is using (routers, switches etc).    If I accidentally turned it off and if there wasn’t a UPS it go poof and become inaccessible – and it is a remote location.

Would be nice if you could lock out the power switch or at least require a confirmation for “critical” circuits

@darkroom I have submitted this software enhancement to the development team.   Thanks for taking the time to provide this insight to the potential issues should a SMART plug be toggled off.

I don’t dare put a Smart Plug on a fridge or freezer either.

+1 on this suggestion because without some protection on the Smart Plug on/off switch in the app Home Screen, it is just too easy to accidentally tap the icon and make a mess of things.
