> 24 hourNot sure why so many negative reviews. Once you have it added to smart life app it works perfectly. Scheduling and on off switch works instantaneously without delay. Definitely recommend it and the lightkiwi low voltage transformer

> 24 hourI loved these Lightkiwi’s and installed 3 of them. Installation and programming is easy. I actually have various makes of Wi-Fi devices totaling over 16 at a vacation home. The bad news is, after a power outage, all the Wi-Fi devices reset and work while all 3 of my Lightkiwi’s are disconnected (offline) and will not reconnect even when I reset my Wi-Fi router remotely.

> 24 hourThis product does not do what it is intended. In principle it sounds good but it continually loses the WiFi signal. The unit was located not more than 20 from the router. It would cause the landscape lights to blink sporadically. I tried to make this work...it just doesnt. Many other reviewers stated the same.

> 24 hourAs many have suspected, when you put these inside the Lightkiwi transformers and close the door, the range is significantly reduced. This should really have a wire antenna that you could bring outside the transformer through a hole. I have this down by my pool, an area that has wifi, but it does not see the network with the door closed (but does with the door open). I then installed an outdoor WiFi repeater, and this device now works about 90% of the time with the door open, but sometimes the lights will flash on and off repeatedly as it gains and loses the signal. So if you can bring a wifi extender or repeater REALLY close nearby this is great. Otherwise youll want to use a timer or light sensor

> 24 hourThis product does not work for its intended purpose. When you close the door to the transformer it cuts off the signal. Why not design something that works for its intended purpose? If you would have just included a wire antenna to extend outside of the box it would have solved the issue. Bad engineering!

> 24 hourI bought this because a zwave plug I attempted to use wouldnt work with the kiwi transformer door closed (gah Faraday Cage). The plug is easy enough to configure using the ehappy app. Im just disappointed I cant use an existing home hub such as smartthings. Id have to pair the app with google assistant and then to smartthings?? not at all ideal. Ill continue to work with it to see if theres a generic device adapter that would work with this wifi plug device

> 24 hourWorked fine for about 6 were but then kept disconnecting from wifi every night and wouldn’t turn my landscape lights off. Returning it and going back to my Internatic Digital Timer.
