+1 on this!
This happened to us about 2 weeks ago — except we were out of town and so lost the contents of two freezers. Other smart plugs I have used have the option to set a default state (either on or off). These emporia plugs do not appear to have this option. We have two different freezers of very different age and was trying to figure out the specific and relative power draw, but the knowledge/insight is hardly worth this risk!
Response from emporia will be welcome!
1. I have the original vue monitor
2. The outlets powered back once power was restored on the emporia outlets recovered to an ‘off’ state (red light, not blue).
a. no, they do NOT (at least consistently) remember (I have since tried un plugging them and plugging them back in… occasionally they recover to an ‘on’ state, but it is definitely not consistent!)
b. they DO show up back in the app shortly after power is restored to the outlet/after they are plugged back in [in my case, if I had known that power had gone out and that the plugs hadn’t reset correctly I could have checked the app remotely and turned them back on, but there was no notification, or other signal that anything was wrong]
c. the physical switch/button DOES function correctly
d. they DO show up in the app
@pathfinder are these suggestions? I don’t see that this kind of thing is available in the app, or are you suggesting creating 24 hrly schedules for each plug? Seems clunky.
On a tangentially related note, I tried creating power on schedules for these plugs just a few minutes ago, and am not able to create/save them. Anyone else having issues with the app like this?
