original post
Anybody know if a Smart Plug (non-dimming) will function without the
ground plug connection?


Answer is YES for TP-Link Kasa and Amazon's smart plugs.
The ground prong is a pass thru. If the controlled device has no 'third prong'
everything works the same whether grounded or ungrounded.

Thanks to all for the earlier responses! :thumbsup:
