Hello everyone,

I have a very small apartment with a staircase that separates the kitchen from the living room. The radiators are old so they consume a lot. I bought an oil-filled radiator which I installed in the kitchen but which is mobile, I have connected sockets and an Alexa Echo in the kitchen and one in the living room. I would have liked to connect it so that it automatically turns off based on the temperature detected by Alexa. Nothing complicated via the app, but I’m afraid it will be too hot in the kitchen. Any idea for a setting?

    This. Most space heaters draw ~12 or more amps. I think my smart plugs are rated to control 5.

    You’re going to burn the building down.

      Too many people are trying to overcomplicate things.

      I used oil filled radiators for years and never felt the need to make one smart.

      Heck a ton now have clocks with multiple on and off options on them. So you can schedule it to turn on and off so you don’t need to touch it.
