    Hi,

    I needed a WiFi socket plugged into an existing socket.
    It was to work with the Smart Life app.

    I bought this:
    https://allegro.pl/oferta/inteligentne-gniazdo-elektryczne-wifi-tuya-smart-12546072940

    The problem is that after switching it off remotely, the plugged-in LEDs still glow.
    Is this the fault of a poor quality socket or a case of a faulty device?

    Can anyone recommend a good quality socket that meets the above?

    Regards

    And can you write something more about them? Maybe it is possible to solve the problem without replacing the socket.

    These are decorative icicle-type outdoor lights with a programmer. Approximately 1000 pieces.

    Type on Allegro: "capacitor for led" choose the one that suits you ;) buy and plug in together with these icicles.

    This can be solved by plugging a lamp with a light bulb into the socket. The bulb in its cold state has little resistance and a small current from the switch will not cause it to glow. This is simpler than fiddling with the socket.

    Hi,

    I have plugged in the Wifi in front of the socket as below in the picture. There is no possibility behind. Is this the reason why it doesn't work? According to the diagram, it should be behind the connector, so I'm guessing it is?

    The capacitor should be in parallel with the lamps. If a lamp is plugged into the socket from the photo, it is fine.

    So wrong. It should be to a WiFi socket.
    Plug some sort of splitter or extension cord with 2 sockets into the WiFi socket, plug the lights into one and the capacitor into the other and see if it helped the icicles glow.

    Well, yes, but there is still a WiFi socket between this socket and the lamps, so in theory the connection does not meet the intent of the diagram - a capacitor after the connector.
    ?

    Anyway, at the moment the lamps are still glowing.

    These tubes of yours are plugged into the WiFi socket and there should also be a capacitor connected there, e.g. as I wrote earlier.

    Yes, I don't know why I missed your previous post.
    I considered a splitter, but in the meantime I changed the socket to a module as below plugged in before the traditional socket, capacitor as before and it is OK.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a user experiencing an issue with a Tuya Smart WiFi socket, where plugged-in LED lights continue to glow even when the socket is turned off remotely via the Smart Life app. Various solutions are proposed, including the use of a capacitor connected in parallel with the lights to prevent the glow caused by residual current. Suggestions include using a splitter or extension cord to connect both the lights and the capacitor to the WiFi socket. The user later resolves the issue by switching to a different module that incorporates the capacitor correctly, eliminating the problem of the glowing LEDs.
