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

You do need to get a Caseta hub but it is still less expensive than other solutions for outdoor lighting. My landscaping guy wanted to sell me a timer that used a phone app with an ongoing subscription. I don’t think there is a better solution offered by anyone.

If this is your first Lutron Smart Component, there might be a learning curve, especially if you wish to connect it to the Apple HomeKit. But if this is an addition to an existing system, the set up takes less than a minute and synchronizes with the HomeKit within seconds on all Apple applications. We bought three for three exterior zones, they work incredible. The Outdoor Smart Plug is not available in Canada yet, apparently.

I have bought many outdoor plugs by the big name brands and none were easy to hook up. I always had to jimmy(Jerry) rig something to make it work the way they were supposed to. With this on I plugged it in, opened the app on my phone, held the power button down for 10 sec, and then set the right lights and location in the app and I was done. Took 1-2 min tops. The most work was done hanging the string lights. I definitely will be replacing all my other outdoor plus with more of these. It is truly amazing how quick and easy setup was.

I already have the Lutron Caseta system to control several switches. This also integrates nicely with Apple HomeKit. I was unhappy with some other outdoor WiFi switches that always became unresponsive and had to be power cycled to get back on the network. I use these to control my two pond pumps (including automation) and they have been flawless.

I use this with Homekit and it works great! I needed a plug I could use with my 3d printer in the garage so I can turn it on and off remotely. Its pricey but it has never not responded yet.

But worth it for the rock-solid connection and HomeKit integration!

Purchased flood lights that were not compatible with soft on wireless switches. These did the trick. Theyre wireless with a good transmission distance even through a couple sheet rock walls and doors. Theyre not cheap, but seem well made with hopefully years of potential use. Note - these are made to be on-off switches, not adjustable dimmer type. You can also add wireless switches to the unit for controlling multiple locations.

Thanks to the Lutron hub I have already, the plug was able to latch onto my weak wifi signal outside where other smart plugs have failed. Easy set up, seamless Homekit integration. Love my Lutron tech.

So far so good. Works just as advertised.

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