The most common smart-plug failure has nothing to do with the plug. You unbox a compact white brick, download an app, enter your Wi-Fi password, and watch an LED blink for twenty minutes while your phone insists it is "connecting." You blame the brand. You post a one-star review. You return two p...

Pets make it worse — fur that migrates from the dog bed to the hallway to the couch you swore was off-limits. A full-size vacuum works, but pulling it out for a five-minute t...
