Curiosity teardown: smart plug

Another Dollarama find! This time it's a Sylvania SmartPlug. I assume it's a clearance item.

This is another of those IoT thingies that refuses to work without signing onto some app and letting a random cloud server take control. Clearly I'm not going to allow that, but it's still interesting to look inside and see what makes it tick.
