WiOn 50049 Outdoor Wi-Fi Wireless Plug-In Switch; Smartphone And Tablet Automation For Up To 12 Devices 2 Grounded Outlets Weather Resistant Energy Saving Wifi Controlled Switch

With the current iPhone IOS 16.1 issues I downloaded the app to an iPad still with IOS 15.7.2 and was able to get my WION 50049s to connect. Its at least a temporary fix.

Would have had five stars for doing what it is supposed to do, easy set up and easy app but I had to replace one because it got water in it. Outdoor rated outlets really shouldnt let water in. Keep it in a place where it will stay dry and it will be great.

Great idea. Works great when finally working. The Good: I can control various outdoor lights with the 4 devices I purchased. with the wion app and alexa. Worked through the snow we received in NY this weekend. Now that they are set up I really like controlling and scheduling outdoor lighting from anywhere. The Bad: Set up was a nightmare. Part of it was because I have a big property and had to assign different wifi networks to different wion devices and always check which had the strongest signal. The biggest problem was the instructions and the app. Sometimes the app didnt find any wifi. Or the app went out of set up. Then my android phone asked me if I wanted to stay connected to the wion device. Because this step wasnt in the app, I ignored it and never connected. I spent fruitless time resetting the wion to factory setting to try to connect.. Finally I instructed my phone to stay connected to the wion device and then connected promptly to wifi. The device plugs into a receptacle with a very rigid 90 degree plug, which made it impossible to put 2 wion devices directly into one receptacle. Dont plan on using 2 wion on one receptacle. The cord is very short and stiff, so it is hard to position with the plugs down to avoid water entry into the plugs. There are 2 outlets on the device. 3 would be more sensible. Im using 5Watt LED lights so power draw isnt an issue. In addition, the rim around the outlets is close so big outdoor plugs are a tight fit. In brief, poor industrial design and installation instructions, but a great concept and it seems to work well.

Great purchase. For the price of not much more than a typical outdoor-rated timer, I was able to get this WiOn. Ive been using it extensively for the past month to control my outdoor Christmas lights. It took less than 10 minutes to figure it out and get everything working with my lights on a timer. Remote access through the app is super simple and works with no discernible lag via Wi-Fi or cellular connection (I am running the Android version of the app). The only negative is that I dont think this can be controlled by other popular app-based controllers (WeMo, etc.), but I could be wrong. Also, I have not yet tried using this with my Amazon Echo devices to test Alexa support, but I know that it is supported.

I ordered two, not knowing what to expect based on prior reviews and hoping they would work at the distance I needed. They worked perfectly! I like the app, though selecting one to program when you have multiple is not intuitive, but once you figure it out, easy enough. The app allows for multiple times to turn on. I used them for outdoor Christmas lights. This was a great choice!

I got this item to control the outdoor ground/pathway lights in my backyard. I have and old power supply for the lights but all it can do is turn the lights on or off. I need adjustment for daylight savings time. So instead of buying a new power supply. I got one of these. It works great! I now plug the power supply into this and then into the outlet. The app is good and easy to set up. With the app there are many different options for turning lights on and off. I cant try the Alexa part of things because I dont have one. Sorry. Great product would buy again if need to.

I decided to purchase this Wifi timer to control my Christmas lights this year. I wasnt sure about switching from a mechanical light sensing timer to a Wifi timer, but I decided to give it try so I could have some control over my lights when Im away from the house. Out of the box, this outlet seems pretty robust. The hardest thing about the setup was finding the Woods WiON App in the App Store. Once you download it, you can get started on the power settings. I used the Astronomic Mode, and set my lights to come on 30 minutes after sundown, and go off 3 hours before sunrise. Like other reviewers have asked it would be nice to either have the option of either longer intervals, like 5 or 6 hours before sunrise, or to fill in this field with an actual time. The iPhone interface makes the home screen look a little silly on my iPad, but hey - its a plug! Aside from hanging my Christmas lights, this was an easy installation. I would recommend it to any clever homeowner!

I bought three WiOn products five months ago and extremely happy with all of them. To minimize writing, my reviews for all three are very similar. What a product! What a convenience! I bought this and WiOn 50050 and 50052 and they have made my life Sooooo much easier. Im using 50050 for the lights on the front porch which is controlled from a switch inside the front door, use 50052 for the living room and this one for outside lights which light up outside landscape. All controlled from one app on my iPhone. Although they are all scheduled and dont need me to mess with them every day, but I, often, override the schedule and change them as needed; from home or if Im miles away. As long as I have internet connection, which is almost anywhere, Im connected. Writing this review five months after purchase and very very happy with them. Highly recommended.

I ordered two of these. One is still working perfectly, the second one was pretty much bad out of the box. I dont use these very often, mostly just for decor lighting during holidays. It displayed a red light for power and the wi fi light would blink but never recognize in the list of wifi connections. I also tried it at work just to rule out the connection portion. I just got around to fiddling with the 2nd one to see what the problem was as it wouldnt reset. Following the advise of some other users, I began to unscrew the back cover only to see a SCREW THAT WAS ALREADY STRIPPED. Which leads me to believe the 2nd one I bought was merely recycled damaged goods. I was able to get the cover off and noticed that a soldered connection fell off upon opening. Having two full time jobs I dont have time to get the soldering kit out so wont be rebuying these. Buyer beware.

Easy to set up.. Works as advertised. I would highly recommend this product!
