got it, thanks for the clarification!
Can anyone give me the state of play for local control of a PC191HA? This one I’ve got is 1.1.17 so apparently OTA doesn’t work any more, but I’m supes unfamilly
Nothing has changed, you need to open up as described above. I recently bought some series 3 plugs and converted all 4.

Nightmare fuel, ty
Anyone else struggle with the Series 3 versions occasionally getting stuck unable to boot properly? I assume a brownout or something, but it’s so intermittent (once every week or so) that it’s very hard to debug.
It will still say it’s connected on my router settings, but is unavailable in HA. I’ve tried various things like enabling safemode and reboot timeout, as well as disabling the webserver and a few other things to try save memory. I also tried a debug sensor for reboot reason but this seems to not elicit anything useful.
