Awesome. About an hour ago I was at bunnings, picked this up, gave it a good think and put it back down. This confirms my fears of it. Thanks.

I also have issues with those Arlec flood lights. I have a white non-wifi unit installed since 2020, it has faded & cracked in the sunlight. Motion sensitivity is also awful with random activations. I'm thinking to use a Shelly or Sonoff wired to a better quality non-smart unit.

Yes, Mark the only devices I find that work OK from Arlec are the smart plugs.

@@simonsayshomeassistant I don't think the Arlec stuff is of sufficient quality. I've just repaired 2 out of 3 of my 4 way powerboards. Less than 2yrs old and very light duty placed on them. The issue was swollen electrolytic caps
