Wi-Fi and Bluetooth smart plugs are classified under 8536.69 as plugs and sockets. Smart power strips with surge protection and remote switching are also 8536.69. The Wi-Fi module embedded in the smart plug does not re-classify it as a network device. Smart plugs with energy monitoring functionality remain 8536.69 — the metering function is accessory to the primary switching function. Extension leads/multi-socket adapters without smart features are also 8536.69.
