It makes a switch sound when it turns off or on. Other than that, it works just fine like all the other hue devices.

I had plugged in the toaster plug.

I was sleeping and at some point I woke up and smelled burnt plastic?

Well, the power went out at night and came back.

The plug turned on by itself and I almost got burned completely

max 2300w
You don't need to put anything on it to set it up, just press the single button it has on top.
Otherwise, it's as the others say.

The reason I chose this specific socket is because I already have several lights and the Philips motion sensor, so I got it to complete the puzzle :P Of course, all it does is turn on/off and it can't give you statistics and data on energy consumption. Also, in order to connect it, I didn't know that I had to first connect a light fixture that has a Philips Hue bulb, which made it difficult for me until I figured it out.

It does exactly what it says with a maximum power of 2200w. However, due to its size alone, I would not install a heating element as some well-intentioned people would think
