If you do not put a smart plug into a 'zone' on the app it is considered to be 'unassigned', and the app will have no control over the time that the outlet on the smart plug is on or off.

You can use the plug 'manually' by switching the plug on or off by pressing the button on the front of it. The colour of the button will be red if the plug is on, and clear if it is off.Please note that if you turn the plug on manually, you must remember that if the hub restarts, which it will do if the software is upgraded on it, or if there is a power cut, then the smart plug may default to the off state.
