Watch out with smart plugs and heaters. I personally would only trust smart plugs to half their rated current.


Good call, I've had these Sonoff plugs run at 1000w for several days before (a big dehumidifier that maintenance put in to dry out a leak), but at "high" setting on the fan the inrush current goes to 15A, at medium the inrush is 7A and stable at 6.
