I have TP-Link KASA EP10 smart plugs and I don't see this behavior,
and at least one plug controls a device that would definitely be
impacted by such a power cycle.
This is a PM110, which is a low-end device. I'll take a look at the
EP10 as a possible alternative. Of course it's always possible that I
have a faulty one,
For the sake of completeness you might double/triple/quadruple check
that the plug doesn't have a schedule programmed.
I already did that.
Assuming it doesn't
have its own schedule, is there any chance the plug is a member of a
group/scene/etc such that while the *plug* may not have a schedule,
it
is impacted by something else that does?
There are no other smart plugs on the network. There are several Amazon
Echo devices, which I think also implement the Matter protocol and can
in theory talk to the TP-Link, but I've never configured them to do
this and they don't have any scheduled activities.
Maybe try a factory reset on
the plug (assuming there is such a reset)?
The docs say there is a factory reset, so I might try that.
