Re: Newbie setting up a smart plug with a light switch control
I put on my refrigerator and we have a streak of 53!
As far as your other issues... you can figure out what you can/ can’t do so...
Last tip... we set Kasa to shutoff our fridge for 3hrs 1:am - 4:am when we never open it and our electric bill dropped significantly.

Support ignoring their bugs...
Also spin to win showed I won 3 times but they never allowed me to collect claiming a glitch. I sent screen shots and even agreed to take 1/2 or 1/4 of the prize. Each time I’ve been ignored.
I have up on this but the status is ignoring as why make all the effort if they won’t fix the system.

Re: Not comfortable with fridge being off for three hours...
Does your fridge have a linear inverter compressor?
If it does, don't include it in OhmHours. It'll take more energy to spin it back up after OhmHours than to just leave it running.
Not comfortable with fridge being off for three hours...
First three hour OhmHour ever tonight... fridge food is supposed to keep for four hours IF YOU KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED... I've got kids who go into the fridge without thinking. So I try to keep them out but I am not comfortable with more than 2 hours. Problem is that turning on for the third hour eats your savings from the first two hours as the fridge works to bring everything back to temp... I've got a connected plug. But I think I am going to exclude it from OhmHours, and then manually set Kasa to turn it off for the last two hours. That way when the fridge goes nuts cooling down again, it is after the OhmHour(s).
Re: Tips & Tricks
I have so many "vampires" in my house, the only way I can get really low reductions is just to turn off my circuit breakers. I do leave one breaker on though, for my internet, TV and a light so I barely notice that the rest of the house is off.
Re: Max points per Ohmhour
Contact Ohmconnect. There is a soft cap at 2000 points to avoid overpaying (they had some issues previously of users with negative energy use getting overpaid). I've gone over 2000 before, and they adjusted it after I contacted them.
