Smart plug with this kind of switch

Cyrus · 2022-12-04 22:06:59

my Christmas tree lights have this switch that needs to be toggled on if the power is cut to it, so if you use a smart plug to turn the lights off it won’t come back on unless this switch is pressed regardless of power or not. should I just cut it out and join the wire without it or is there any better way to work around…
