  • Is having two low power items in this arrangement really a risk?

    Nope.

    Things that you should never daisy chain or even plug into a single extension:

    • Toaster
    • Kettle
    • Portable heater
    • E/V Car
    • Washing machine
    • Dishwasher

    All those things will draw +2.4Kw during usage.

    Basically think: Does this thing have a heating element or is it rated to pull power above 1Kw... if either is true, never put it in any kind of power splitting extension... and if you are just adding a single plug extension for length ensure it's rated for this kind of power.

    But you're not doing that... Sonos and a WiFi node draw virtually nothing. Might not even register on a smart meter.

  • Plugging it by itself into a (fully unrolled if applicable) extension shouldn't be an issue. It's when you start plugging multiple things in.
