Lutron Caséta Weatherproof+ Outdoor Smart Plug On/Off Switch | Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, Ring, Apple HomeKit (Smart hub Required) | for Landscape and String Lighting | PD-15OUT-BL | Black |1

Works well with my home control system. Was super easy to connect.

This fits perfectly into my smart electrical system setup. My home has been completely refitted with Lutron Caseta switches and outlets so as I can control my lighting via WIFI whenever I’m away. I needed this outdoor unit to control the battery charger on my golf cart rather than leaving on 27/7. It’s very well constructed and perfect for outdoor use.

I thought it would have a dimmer like the rest of the casita line up … disappointing

We use this with an app fir lutron to control holiday lights. Works perfectly.

Lutrons stuff is expensive of that there is no doubt. However when you look at the construction and durability of a device that will be outside 24x7 it is second to none. Setup with the Lutron app was a breeze and even connected a pico remote to turn on/off the deck lights remotely.

I was using another brand outdoor smart switch, but it had problems dropping connection and it was often sluggish in its response with on/off commands. I have a small (growing) Lutron Caseta setup, so when I saw this I grabbed it even though it was a little more expensive than I wanted. Im glad I did because it works great! It hasnt dropped once and its very responsive.

My house has about 100 HomeKit compatible devices, so its very important that they work reliably. I tried smart switches by Eve, iDevices, and Wemo, but they didnt always respond when I asked Siri to turn them on or off. However, this Lutron Outdoor Smart Plug works great every time. It responds quickly and reliably, probably because it uses Lutron Clear Connect wireless rather than Bluetooth or WiFi. I like this switch so much that Im even using it indoors. Its a little bulky for indoor use, but the reliability makes it worth it! Keep in mind that youll need a Lutron Caseta Hub to use this.

After having returned a couple of less robust outdoor wifi-enabled smart plugs that just didnt work, thought Id give this very pricey option a try. Although its a bit bulky, the unit feels very solid, should indeed survive Ohio winters. But as the product description more or less makes clear, there is no scheduling/ remote function built in to the unit, you must buy the Lutron Caseta Bridge to get that. So I did that, too, bringing the combo price to around $160. Better be built like a tank for that price! The Bridge installation was anything but easy, resulting in the one-star rating there. The Bridge saw my wifi but refused to accept the password to connect, and so could not load the software update that is required for operation. I got online with the Lutron chat rep, who very patiently went through a 45-minute process first to get the Bridge to connect to my network, then to be seen by the Lutron servers. Finally got it up and running after many steps. So five stars for Lutron service, but that kind of odyssey should never have been necessary to get the smart plug to do what it is supposed to do in the first place. Oh, and the schedule programming is a bit wonky - you have to create one entry to turn the device on, then another one with a different name to turn it off. Would never have understood this without the chat reps help. So if you have the patience to endure what could be a prolonged setup process, this is a great unit. If you want ease of operation, maybe youll be luckier than I was; maybe not.

Best outdoor app co controlled switch on the market. Phenomenal build quality

Had an IDevices outdoor plug but after a failed firmware update it no longer made contact with my router due to distance. This one solved two problems. 1) It is flawless with HomeKit control and automations. 2) the IDevices unit blocked my second gfci receptacle but this one is straight out so now I can use the second outdoor plug for Christmas lights. If you have landscape lights, this is an amazing device. It responds instantly. Also, don’t waste time on the typical landscape light controllers. If I pull in the driveway after the HomeKit automation turns the lights off(midnight), the geofence automation in HomeKit turns them back on for easy house access. Great product!
