Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Timer, Max Load 15A/1875W, IP64 Weather Resistance, Compatible with Alexa, Google Home & SmartThings, No Hub Required, ETL Certified(KP401)

This is a great product at a great price. Bought this to use for my christmas lights. The Kasa app is very intuitive, and I found it immediately connected to my home WiFi. There is almost no latency when turning on and off with the app via phone. The scheduling tool was easy and did exactly what I want. I use it as a lamp timer while away from home, and for Christmas lights during the holidays. Much easier than the old style light timers!

Great range outdoors, great scheduling features in the app. 2 outlets would have been nice...

Below is my 3 star rating which Im changing to 4 stars now that Ive done some more investigating. I thought rain was getting into the TPLink plug and causing the GFCI to trip - but I found out it was where the lights plugged into an extension cord. I removed the TPLink plug from the outlet and plugged the extension cord directly into the GFCI outlet and it tripped. Hmm. Guess the TPLink wasnt the problem. It turns out there was water in the extension cord plug from a heavy rain. That must have been the issue with my first TPLink plug also. So, if your GFCI plug keeps tripping and youre using an extension cord, check the female end of the extension cord and see if there is some water in it. Im going to wait for it to dry completely and then use electrical tape to keep water out of the connection. For some reason there is still some current going through the string lights even when the lights are off which is why the 4 star rating rather than 5. Original review when I thought the TPLink plug was causing the GFCI to trip: This is my second purchase of this 2 plug unit. I use it to remotely control some string lights. It was easy to setup and has good wifi range. It responds almost immediately using Alexa. I have a schedule so the lights turn on at dusk and turn off at 10:00 PM. Thats the good - now the bad. I turned off the lights using Alexa and replaced a broken bulb - and got shocked while doing so. Power was obviously still flowing even thought it was supposed to be off. I also noticed that the lights wouldnt turn off all the way - they would glow faintly. The GFCI would trip frequently as would the breaker in the fuse box. I figured I had a bad plug and bought another. It has been working fine for the most part, but the GFCI breaker would intermittently trip with it also. I replaced the GFCI outlet. No help. It had been working fine for the last few weeks until we had a lot of rain the last two days. It has now begun tripping the GFCI outlet again and the breaker in the fuse box. It says its waterproof but obviously isnt. Im going to get rid of it and try a different brand. Too bad because I really like it when it works.

These switches are easy to install on your wifi and work seamlessly with Alexa. Our outdoor tree lights are standard C7 incandescent bulbs. With this plug, they come on at sunset and can go off at dawn or whenever you wish. And you can dim them, which I love. Want them on or off outside the schedule? Just ask Alexa! Want them dimmer? Ask Alexa! Dont have Alexa? You should, but it still works by using Karas app on your phone. But its much more fun to set up a routine on Alexa. :) We say Alexa, Merry Christmas to turn it on, and Alexa, Bah Humbug to turn it off. Original? I dont know, but it makes us smile. Have fun!

I like that I can have Alexa turn on my outdoor lights at night...Before I get home and have to stumble around in the dark. It was so easy to set up...I had to buy another one!

I have multiple Kasa products and used them for several years. I have not had any problems with these products and love the features. I would love to see an emergency button on the app that turns on all connected lights. This would be great to help public safety responders locate you residence or scaring away criminals.

I schedule my lights to fade in after sunset, which looks really nice. I didn’t do my homework and found out it wasn’t HomeKit compatible upon arrival, which is mostly why I got it. But also, the Kasa ecosystem has been pretty acceptable to I’m not too worried about being stuck with their app for this device.

This works really well. The amperage of my motor is about 13 amps and I have had no problems with the 15 amp smart plug. I wish I would have bought a double smart plug since both can be programmed differently.

I have several Kasa plugs and switches. No issues with anything.

We wanted a wifi enabled plug to use in an unheated hen house which is about 50 behind our house and on the opposite side of the house from the router, so about 70 away. This plug works flawlessly. I set it to turn a light on at 5:30 am and off at 8:30 am, and it does just that. I can control it from my phone, using the Kasa app. We just purchased a 2nd one to control the heater in our greenhouse. It was too far from the house for the Feit smartplug which would frequently go offline. This Kasa plug works flawlessly, so if the temperature outside drops lower than expected, I can turn the heater (plugged into the Kasa plug) on from inside the house. Highly recommend this plug!
