Outdoor Smart Plug - WiFi Outlet with 2 Sockets,Compatible with Alexa,Google Home,Remote Control/Timer by Smartphone,IP44 Weatherproof,FCC/RoHS Certified

I had my reservation about this product bc it wasn’t one of the name brands that I’ve heard of but I needed something for my Christmas lights. It was easy to set up and a breeze to use even in the cold rain.

I bought an open box version that had no manual. In testing, I find that, once the plug is programmed, you can close the app, and the plug will retain the program so long as the unit remains plugged into a power source. However, if power is lost, so is the programming, and, once the unit has power again, you will have to open the app which will reconnect with the plug and refresh the programming.

Did not try to integrate with Alexa, how ever easy to use and was great for those Xmas lights this year.

Used this to control my outside lights this year. It worked very well and installed very easily. Highly recommended.

Easy to set up works with Alexa and I dont have to go outside in the rain to turn on or off lights on the deck.

I did not work.I had to return it. Waste of time.

Solidly built device, works well with home wifi and is simple to program through the app. I use one out on my deck to turn lights on and off via timer as well as in the basement. The 1st device synced quickly with Google Home but the 2nd one will not. But it seems to be a problem with Google rather than the device.

Unfortunately this plug has a very short range,So if it is your intent to use it away from the house, or at a distance from your WiFi base, you’re going to need a WiFi extender.I use mine to operate a pump for an above ground pool,and due to the distance from my wireless router coverage is spotty at best.The plug uses the “Smart Life” app for connectivity which allows you to setup a schedule that can control the switch even when you have no WiFi connection. The other plus is that it works well with Alexa as long as you have a WiFi connection.

Great plug, you have to set it up in the app required in instructions first. To set it up with 5.0 Wifi, it has to be set up manually. But, got them working with Alexa now!

ease of setup and use are first things that come to mind.
