KP125M Any restrictions on the type of connected applaince? Operating instructions/manual?
(1) Other than the power (wattage) rating, is there any resctriction on the type of connected appliance?
I first want to use with a 50 pint 800W dehumidifier (Frigidaire FFAD5033W1).
Is it safe to use with a room heater? fan?
(2) Surprised that there's no instruction manual on the product page. There's only 2 links to set up matter.
Tanks in advance,
Brian

@Wayne-TP Wow, that's a huge variation!
So, I can't use it for my 800W dehumidifier. :(
Similar energy monitor smart plugs will have similar restrictions? Or what should I look for?
I was thinking that it's best to run the dehumidifier when power is cheapest, so I wanted to be able to monitor the power use and humidity for a while and then determine what hours to run it.
I'd like to only turn off the power when the dehumidifier has already cycled off but I don't know if these control apps can be that specific.

You can refer to the manual for the specific model to find relevant information.
The smart plug simply controls the power supply of the connected appliance and is not suitable for devices that have additional switch controls.
