Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet with 2 Sockets, IP64 Weather Resistance, Compatible with Alexa, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, ETL Certified(EP40), Black

Easy to setup and get working in 10 minutes

I use it outside with one plug for my lights and the other for my Green Egg. Since the plug is behind some stuff this makes it easy to use with the app. I dont use Alexa.

The best HomeKit (HK) compatible outdoor plug IMO. Why? You can control both sockets independent of one another in HK/Kasa! I have not come across another HK compatible plug that does this. Quality seems generally adequate and on par with most plugs on the market. Deducting a star for some initial pairing issues with HK--had to power reset one while the other paired immediately. No worries--worked after the 3rd try. Additionally, the socket covers are REALLY soft and flimsy. Not a deal breaker if these are in a covered enviorment but I wouldnt expect them to last long especially if exposed to direct sun for long periods. Overall, there are few HK choices so I consider this the best! Highly recommended--once up and going these work perfectly to power our holiday lights.

I bought both the Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug AND the Smart Light Switch. I like them, they work great and dont require Googles Alexa Spy on you device. The app is pretty good, Im actually impressed with it. Some features that are missing though...hint hint Kasa development team...setting a schedule for a group of devices. It already lets you group devices together and turn them all on and off manually as a group, but it does not let you schedule that way, so you have to set the schedule individually for each. ALSO it would be nice if we could add + or - minutes to Sunrise & Sunset times on the schedule. I live in the Pacific Northwest. Especially in winter on cloudy days, it gets dark well before sunset and stays dark after sunrise. Id like the lights to come on 30 minutes before and stay on 30 minutes after.

Works great for my backyard string lights! Very easy to connect and I can use Google to turn on/off. Gained an extra outlet as well! Highly recommend Kasa products.

This thing is so fast to turn off and on. Like you touch the phone screen and they turn on, is ridiculous how fast this thing is. Durability will determine the if I keep it at 5 stars (hopefully at least 2 years)

When I started buying items to turn our home more towards being a smart home my husband was leery. Ive always been a gadget.. freak. I dony go out and buy any old thing. I research the items. I dont want a system installed by some alarm company, I want a custom setup - which means watching for incompatibility. The few items Ive installed havent impacted him much so he wasnt impressed, except that they worked & werent a waste of money. However, since he was going to soon put up Christmas lights and any timers we had he hated. Mainly because he was worried about fires when we were away for more than a couple of hours. This caught my eye. A timer (so he wouldnt have to run out in his pjs in icy cold weather to unplug it), an outlet designed for outdoor use, and it has remote access. I didnt rell him I ordered it. But when I showed it to him and got it set up and he saw how easy it was to use, well, hes a big fan. Weve had no problems with connectivity. It works easily with Alexa, and can even connect with the persnickety SmartThings on my Samsung phone! Not that I need that. Between Alexa & the Kasa app Ive got complete control, as does my husband. Well, he uses me to do any configuring. I cant convince him to install Alexa on his phone. *sigh* It is well built, sturdy, and easy to set up. It comes with hardware to secure it to the wall so that there is no stress on the houses outlet, or on it, when things pull (or people) on whatever is connected. This is one feature that my husband really liked. He gets aggrivated with cords pulling out of the outlet or the strain on the outlet causes the inner parts to warp and plugs no longer plug in as easily. And, as most outdoor outlets have, it has covers for each outlet to keep the weather - and kids - out. I havent checked these closely for being tamper resistant, but I had to work at it a bit to open it. I like that. Time will tell if they become loose.

The plug works great and pairs very well and easily. You will need to have kasa app and the integrate with Google home if Google is your preferred app. There have been few instances when Google assistant has complained about unable to run the routine as the device wasnt responding. Its not a big deal and its fairly common with the current iot technology. The device has survived a freezing rain, snow and 10f. So I am happy with its performance. However, my biggest frustration is that the manufacturers chose to put the max load on the plug as 1/2 hp electric motor. It takes special kind of intelligence to come up with that. Anyways, after a painstaking 30 mins of search, I found that I can plug up to 1400W. If you are unsure, get a load meter to measure before you plug in your load.

I like that its Wi Fi and works great and with phone and Alexa. I have looked at others that are higher priced.

Love how easy was the setup and it makes life so much easier for outdoor lights. Now, I don’t have to go outdoors to turn the lights off at night. Perfect!!
