More venting. When Amazon was selling the Dot with the smart plug upsell, I ended up getting two. I waffled until the last minute, but ended up gifting both Dots and keeping the both plugs. Mistake; I should've been magnanimous and given both plugs.

I went to set up the plug today, and to my dismay, discovered that the stupid thing is so big, I can't plug in anything else into the wall outlet. Nor will it fit properly in the power strip where I want to use it--my power strip has outlets on the top and on the side; the smart plug won't go in the ones on the side because the prongs are upside down relative to the strip, and it won't go in the top because, again, it would use up an extra outlet, even plugging it in at the end, which I can't afford.

So I'm completely disgusted with the whole thing. Even at only $5 apiece, I think they're useless to me unless I spend more money on power strips. What annoys me most is how the smart plug keeps me from plugging anything else with a grounded plug into a wall outlet. I think I'm going to send them back.
