The setup
A themed scene can use multiple smart plugs: one for signage, one for a central interactive display, and additional plugs for groups of collectibles. The devices do not necessarily become ready at the same time.
Sequence instead of switching everything at once
- Turn on the central device first.
- Insert a short wait action (about ten seconds in our setup).
- Power on the accessory groups afterward.
- Test the timing and adjust based on observed behavior.
Why the wait helps
Some interactive devices send startup signals. If related devices are powered too early, they may miss the expected sequence. This is a setup-specific observation, not a universal timing rule.
🛡️ Safety First
Keep connected loads within each plug’s electrical rating. Never use an ordinary smart plug to control equipment that requires a dedicated safety shutoff.
💡 EzeLuma Tip: Document the original settings before changing anything, then test one change at a time.
