Connection issues with original smart outlet

Are you referring to these original Smartenit Outlet sold originally back in the early Kickstarter days? They were large and rectangular in shape.

If so, these outlets can sometimes be troublesome and may cause some mesh issues. I have three of them and for the most part, they work but recently one was causing interference with my gardenspot lights so I had to move the plug to a different location. So far, that has been working. They are ZigBee devices and when you try to add them, you won’t see any difference in terms of the app saying that a new “thing” has been added. Sometimes, just going back to the original thing in your app will suddenly start working again, other times, maybe not.
