The product, in the report: TrendNet Home Smart Switch THA-103AC
The Trendnet Home smart switch THA-103AC does not shut off the power to the hot side of the plug when selected off using a smart phone or using the switch on the side of the unit. Instead it electrifies the neutral plug of the unit to stop the flow of electricity. I contacted the manufacture about this and they confirmed this is how the switch is designed to work. My concerns are 1) if someone has a lamp plugged into this switch and uses the switch to turn the lamp off, they are at risk of shock when changing a bulb. the risk is elevated given that both the neutral and hot sides are both electrified. 2) three prong appliances may not shut off if the appliance uses the ground prong as the electrical return. this is how I found this issue. I had a small water pump that would not shut off using the switch. 3) this could potentially bypass a ground fault outlet.
