A:AnswerThis plug only has one spot to plug in a device. However, you could plug a multi-plug extension cord into it to get more than one lamp working with one plug. Do not exceed 15 amps with this specific switch.
A:AnswerI can't see the label on the old AC, so I looked at the specs on a newer one for reference.
A Toshiba 6000 BTU unit is rated at 8 amps max, but has a starting current draw of 29 amps, which apparently burned out the tiny relay in the HS100.
A:AnswerThis device only turns power on and off. Its the same as plugging in the air conditioner and unplugging it. So no, the AC will not become a smart AC.
