Avatar Controls Outdoor Smart Plug Waterproof - WiFi Outdoor Dual Outlets Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, No Hub Required, Android or iOS APP Control Anywhere

Read the reviews about the connectivity issues — it can not connect to dual band wifi routers. This works with old tech only and is worthless

These are great for the price! I have one in my bedroom upstairs and it works flawlessly. I have two outside for my Christmas lights. They setup normally, however most of the time they show as disconnected in the app. They are close to my wifi and the signal is full bars. Fortunately I was able to set up the schedule so they do what I need them to do, it is just annoying if I want to randomly turn them on. They have held up well in some bad weather. Despite the issue I would buy them again.

Received this by mistake, so I took the time to review the product at a surface level and see if it was worth keeping instead of returning. The box contains the plug, wrapped in translucent plastic and a small manual. Model YT-M002, FCC ID: 2A6NY-YT-M002. Its using the newer PSK which blocks tuya-convert. FCC internal photos demonstrate itd be rather obnoxious to flash via serial without very careful work to avoid damaging other board components. And I doubt itd still be waterproof afterwards, so its probably not worth it to flash and lose one of the important features. Although Im not sure if its actually waterproof. Pairing is the older style that doesnt auto-detect in Smart Life / Tuya Home. Youll have to use the generic wifi device pairing. LED is blue when pairing and green when displaying relay status. Outlets are individually controllable via app, but theres only one physical button that toggles both. Once paired, it works reasonably well. I wouldnt recommend this device unless youre comfortable with an entirely Tuya-driven smart home. An older device that runs Tasmota or a newer device that can run one of the alternative Beken firmwares would be far easier to work with.

Will not connect to wifi, until you disable the 5g If your router has 2.4 and 5. The 5g infers with connection. Plug only connects to 2.4 g Needs better instruction

Came with clear instructions, which start with a QR code to download an app. I bought this product to remotely operate a pool cover pump.The second outlet is controlled separately so I can automatically control a second device remotely from that outlet. I can also control the switches from anywhere, so if I know it is raining and I am not home, I can still switch the outlet on. Works like a charm so far.

This is an awesome product! I love that you can turn it on off with your phone and don’t have to worry about losing a remote! Super easy to use! Just make sure that you and the plug are connected to the same WiFi!

Took a couple tries to get connected but now works great, only had outside a week, so will see longevity.

Took away a star because the only downside is you have to manually turn it on for it to respond to Alexa commands after a power outage. If Im out of town I cant connect after a power outage.

Very difficult to pair to wi-fi. Worked for a while, then we had to replace our modem/router. Would not pair with the new modem/router. Tried to delete off my phone and reinstall. Unable to do anything with it. Guess its not compatible with newer modems/routers. It worked so well before. Now I cant adjust the programming or turn it on/off manually.

Works great outside. So easy to use and set up
