Just like any other electrical appliance, the smart plug radiates heat during operation. It would feel warm or maybe a little hot after working for a while depending on the environment. The cool and well-ventilated environment is ideal for the plug.
For safety concern, we recommend double-checking whether the appliance is a supported load of the Tapo smart plug.
What types of loads can the Tapo plug support?

@Wayne-TP it is heating alot and i fear it might melt the socket in which it is inserted. The load on app shows only 800 watt.

The power rating of the appliance is not the only factor in determining whether it is compatible with a plug. The type of load the appliance uses should also be considered. Our smart plug supports resistive loads but does not support high-power inductive loads.
Here is an example for your reference: Suppose your plug has a maximum load capacity of 16A, 3680W, 1/6HP, then it can safely handle a heater whose rated power is below 3680W, but it CANNOT be used with a 1500W (2HP) air conditioner whose power has exceeded 1/6HP.
