And what if I use a smart switch to turn a heater or kettle on and off, or some other non-trivial device. Or for that matter turning on a washing machine in the basement in the early hours. Safety critical? If my accounting software goes AWOL and I post my accounts wrong/late, will the tax man be lenient? It's all matter of perspective. Anyway, I'm guessing my earlier posts have been reported and I am sailing close to the wind. I will bid you adieu. Call me old fashioned but I would never use a smart switch or an app to power a kettle/ heater or washing machine/tumble drier etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, actually, you don't have to accept them, you can return the defective products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
