It will turn on any device that can be left in an "on" state by the device's power switch, whether it has power going to it or not. For example, a lamp or desk fan. I haven't tried it on a TV yet, but I'd venture to guess that the TV would still have to be in an "on" state, even without any power. Basically, the device turns the power supply on and off (think of it as a light switch). You'd probably have to test it on your TV to find out if it would work. But it doesn't connect to the TV via WiFi or act as a smart device to interact with the TV. The WiFi allows you to control it via the free app you can install on your smartphone, or via a supported device and app, such as Amazon Tap, Echo, Dot with the Alexa app.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.To know what is going to happen set up the device or appliance as you like it and then unplug it without turning it off, wait for a minute and plug it back in. The only thing the smart plug does is turn on and off the power source.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Wi-Fi part of the name means that the plug is controlled remotely by connecting it to your home Wi-Fi. And while it can allow you to remotely power on or off your TV, it won't add any "Smart" TV features to it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You must have a wireless internet service set up in your home. If you plug your tv into it all it will do is turn it on and off.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The WiFi is only to control the power on/off of the plug, so it won't turn your TV smart, but it will switch the power on/off via WiFi through a phone app or Alexa.
