Troubleshooting step

Now you need to finish the steps here and then add the Smart Plug to a corresponding zone on the app if you want to control when it turns on, so you can control other things such as lights.

If the Smart Plug is plugged in and powered on at the wall, then it will always boost the signal.

The light on the front indicates the status of the switch inside the plug. If the light on the front is on then whatever you plug into the plug will turn on, if the light is off then what you plug in will turn off, the light does not affect the boosting of the signal.
