WiOn 50053 Outdoor Wi-Fi Plug-In Yard Stake With Smartphone Or Tablet Automation for up to 12 devices; 3 Grounded Outlets And 6 Foot Cord

Set up easily on my router using provided documentation. Easy programing with smart phone app. 1st season but, has worked perfect. Live in Michigan with a 1 of snow currently and so far have seen temps as low as 0*F and the unit is working perfectly. Now its just a mater of longevity, I expect many years of seasonal use and will update if that turns out to not be the case.

I would give a five if it worked with Alexa

So the device works okay except when it rains. This should be shrouded and protected from some of the down pours. The system gets wet easily and if the circuit is a GFI, it will trip in a moment. I decided to take the guts out of the manufacturers enclosure and put it in my own IP65 enclosure and all my problems went away.

I have it setup in my backyard and it worked fine, then one day, I had to unplug it to to move it somewhere else. As soon as I unplug it, and plug it back in, the wifi no longer works, so I cant even reprogram it anymore. Dont get me wrong, the outlet WORKS as intended when it worked, I guess I expected a better WIFI module in this since its plugged into the power. But this has one of the shortest range wifi I have seen. When it worked, my phone had to literally be right next to it to see the signal, and when it worked, the unit will not see my houses wifi network, and I have Google Wifi, the mesh network setup in my house. Anyway, the wifi no longer works, its nothing more than a surge proctector at this point, and since I have to manually either leave it ON all the time of turn it OFF all the time, it really beats the entire purpose of this thing being (outdoors) now. Not happy about that the wifi breaks within less than a years usage. And just incase someone is wondering, there was a insect zapping light plugged into it, and I had the timer setup to turn on and off 2 times in a day, thats all. Not happy, very not happy about this. And if anyone is also wondering, yes, I have tried multiple phones, multiple Android phones and multiple IPhones, and differerent version of iOS and Android, nothing, the wifi signal never shows up when I search for the wifi signal, as instructed that suppose begins with ECO-. And yes, I have tried restarting my phones and yes, I have tried unplugging the outlet for 30 seconds, hoping it will clear some kind of cache or something, nothing. Also, as soon as I unplug it, the programmed times are erased, thats where it rendered the thing into nothing but a regular surge protector, which I dont even know if it actually protect electrical surges.

We purchased this product over 1 year ago. It all of sudden stopped working so we bought a replacement. It came in weird packaging, no real box and a stapled set of instructions. It looked used. It didnt work at all. We sent that one back and Amazon sent a new one. Same weird packaging and the thing looks used. I thought they sent us the same one again. This one does work so far. 3 stars is for price, wi-fi signal is okay as the thing is only like 30 feet away from the router. The packaging is ridiculous as there is no box or anything.

I thought this was just an outdoor post for my lights - then I read the box and realize I can use this from my phone. Set a timer, activate and deactivate. A welcome surprise and it will become heavily used.

It was easy to connect and works good. The stake seems flimsy and I was worried it was going to break sticking it in the ground, but luckily it did not. I wish I could control each outlet individually and I also wish they would add compatibility with Google Home.

Works great for me. Control it with my iPhone app and Alexa. Straight forward setup.

I use C9 incandescents that suck significant power so being able to make sure everything shuts down after hours and during daylight is important to my setup. These wifi stakes and outlet switches by WiOn have the features I need: ability to handle the current load of a couple hundred C9s, easy smartphone remote control with in-app on/off confirmation for each WiOn device, and simple timer setup that works. These things are so far just great. Setup is genius. The device first sets up a local wifi connection with your wireless device. Then it searches for your home wifi signal and asks for your password when you choose it. In two shakes you are turning your stuff on and off with your phone. Ive only had these long enough to test setup and timers. NE Wisconsin cold has not hit yet and havent had enough precip to test weatherproofing. So my five star rating is for initial bulletproof quality and dead simple setup. If anything happens to change my rating I will update as needed.

Great wifi plug. Love being able to set times for outside lights and decorations. I have had a few connectivity issues with this previously, but I get it to work each time and love it for the price. Highly recommend. Ordering more now.
