Smart Switches / Installation
Can I use a smart switch for water heater?
Short answer: Only if the product is specifically rated for the heater load.
Explanation
Most lighting smart switches are not suitable for high-power water heaters. Use a properly rated high-current smart breaker, smart relay or contactor solution, and have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.
