					<description><![CDATA[By James Walker &#124; Home Automation &#38; Security Quick Answer: No, you don&#8217;t need one smart plug for every device. A single UK smart plug can often control several low-power items plugged into a nearby extension lead, as long as their combined load stays within the plug&#8217;s rating. High-power appliances and devices you want to [...]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[By James Walker &#124; Home Automation &#38; Security Quick Answer: Usually, no — a wired smart switch (wall switch) controls the mains supply, and if it cuts power, it can also cut power to a smart plug downstream, disconnecting it from Wi-Fi.
