Introduction
If you are being faced with the outlet blocked warning, which renders the device useless, even when the outlet is not blocked, this quick trick will bypass the infrared sensor entirely.
Support was helpful in warranty, and apparently they now have a firmware update they can push, which bypasses the sensor with software. If you're out of warranty this may be of assistance.
