Outdoor Smart Plug, Works with Apple HomeKit, Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, Refoss WiFi Outlet with 2 Grounded Sockets IP44 Waterproof, FCC & ETL Certified

This was super easy to set up and use. It works great on the apple home app. All you do is plug in the smart plug then go to your home app and in the upper right hand corner click the plus sign. Once that’s done go over to the plug and put your phone on camera and then put your phone up to the code that is on the plug. Once that is done they will synce together and your all set. Only takes a couple minutes. You can then go in to the home app and control each plug individually. That is awesome. I love being able to have control of the plug like that. If you have never tried one of these smart plugs then I highly recommend it. It is pretty awesome.

Used this via my Home app on my IOS devices via Homekit. Couldnt be easier. Plugged it in, opened the Home app, hit add device, used the camera to scan the code on the device, took about 5-7 seconds to connect/add. Can control both outlets, can set it up on a schedule if I want, hasnt lost connection yet. Build quality seems fine, like that the outlets have covers (that are well connected instead of flimsy, thin connections). Very pleased

You HAVE to set this up on 2.4G wifi, if you phone is connected to 5 it will not work. I could not get it to work with Alexa, it does work well with Apple Homekit. You can even have the two outlets separate. It is only IP44, which is actually not that waterproof. I would not put these where it will get splashed.

I originally bought this to control some Christmas lights. However the wife range is so awful on this they shouldn’t call it outdoor plug, because outdoors it can barely maintain a connection. I have a Unifi business class network setup in my home, with multiple access points, and get 75% signal strength to the edges of my 3/4 acre property, but this switch can’t maintain connection to an AP that’s less than 15’ away diagonally. So they released firmware to “fix” the disconnect problem. I was stoked when I saw that. Only it didn’t really fix it. The connection still drops constantly, only now it reconnects. When I try to connect to the switch from my Home app it’s pure chance if it’s actually working, and not in “device is unresponsive” mode. Then if you wait 30 seconds, it miraculously comes back online for a minute or so, and then is unresponsive again. So I gave up trying to use it outside, and brought it in the house to control a pair of lamps in my living room. Even inside the house the max wifi signal strength I can get is around 76%, and merely rotating the switch 1/4 turn will drop that to the low 60s, even though the switch is in the same exact position, just rotated. Completely awful antenna arrangement. If I added this switch using the MeRoss app and didn’t select the HomeKit integration, it worked fine. But I bought it specifically to use with HomeKit. In closing, I’ve attached ZWave switches to HomeKit. via a software bridge, in a Docker container running on my NAS, and even THAT was easier than trying to get this switch to work and stay working. If I can’t turn my lights on or off the moment I want to, then any switch is useless to me. I recommend finding one that has better HomeKit integration, and better reception if you want a plug to use outdoors. Luckily I’m already mostly bald or I would have now after two months of trying everything to get this to work reliably.

We use this outside to connect all the lights, it was nice to only have to push the button to turn off but disappointed that it wouldn’t connect to our iPhones so we wouldn’t have to go outside to turn off lights

Most people are running on a combination of 2.4 GHz wifi and 5.0 wifi. For me, mine router switches between the two channels depending on the device and traffic. This plug can only be set up on 2.4 GHz, so you may have to switch something over, or something off. After that is taken care of, just scan the QR code and the app does the rest. The two plugs can be controlled simultaneously, or separately.
