clever. but I wouldn’t continuously run a high wattage appliance off of a smart plug . Instead , id plug a transformer into the nous plug, that in turn powers the coil on a heavy duty 110/220V HVAC relay. Any spec’ed for a baseboard electric heater (20, 30, 40amp) would do. And if I’m doing that. I’d make the microwave circuit “normally closed” and program the nous plug to turn ON and interrupt the AC circuit briefly (by opening the relay circuit) at midnight. That way there’s never continuous load on the relay coil or the nous plug: just a brief moment at 12:00 when it’s now impossible to run the microwave anyway. I do similar shenanigans like this and needed a new smart plug vendor since wemo rug pulled me, so I got a vendor name on a cheap smart plug I can send power events to out of this, thanks
