HBN Outdoor Smart Plug Waterproof WiFi Outdoor Outlet Timer with 6 Grounded Outlets, Remote & Voice Control Heavy Duty Yard Stake Plug Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant No Hub Required

Im not sure what the issue is for other reviewers, but I purchased one of these and it works so well I bought another one. I did not download any separate app, the app that I use for indoor lights and things actually noticed the stake right away and connected it. Ive been able to set timers, set up scheduling based on astronomical stuff, etc. I dont use an Alexa or Google Home because I dont like voice control, but my app does have that functionality so I assume it would work just as easily. I have had no issues putting in any type of plug, either... One reviewer said that only indoor plugs worked, but all of my outdoor extension cords and outdoor cables all plug in easily with enough space to use all outlets if I want. I have it hooked up to a transformer for pathway lights in the backyard, and its set up for my porch lights (Edison LED string lights) in the front yard. I have added holiday lights to it as well. This has been easily the best option I have found for outdoor smart power. Its better than some of my indoor outlets. Unfortunately, it is not weatherproof for in-use, so I am fitting plastic boxes around them to further protect them from rain. That would be my ideal product, but no smart plug that Ive found has the in-use rain cover. It would also be great if I could control the outlets separately, or at least by side... But that is something that the indoor ones still struggle with too. This is perfect otherwise, and, for the price, it cant be beat.

Great investment and easy set up.

I no longer have to go outside to plug in the lights. I can handle everything using Google assistant. Love this product! Very happy!

Was really excited to use this but you can only use a 2.4 Ghz bandwidth and I only have a 5 Ghz bandwidth. Disappointed that I have to return it

Very sturdy with plenty of receptacles. They could be spaced out just a bit more, so bigger plugs could be inserted next to each other. However, all my plugs fit and it works great. Easy to hook up to Alexa once you download the Smart Plug app. I would purchase this again!

I used this for Christmas tree and lights

I thought these were a great idea. Got them and tested them in my house with a lamp to set up the link to Alexa. They did great there, but when I went to use them for holiday yard decorations, we found that the plastic shields on the outlets end up preventing you from plugging anything into these that isnt the size of a plug on a lamp or a common household extension cord. You could only get one decoration plugged in on each side of the outlet and that one plug blocked all other outlets on that side. If youre only plugging in simple extension cords, this will work for you. If you have any sort of box plug, this is not designed for that use. Also, this doesnt provide much protection from water once something is plugged in. The waterproof covers are only good for the sockets not being used.

I used to have to go outside and manually turn on the old outdoor timer we had, since it had a light sensor but would turn on way too late for my liking. With this timer, I can set up a schedule from my phone, turn on manually from inside the house or even away from home at the office if I want, and have different schedules for weekends and weekdays, which is an amazing feature. I wish I had bought this years ago.

Excelente

I love this for control by phone but what I didn’t realize is you couldn’t use with 5g. My router does both so I though I could set it to lower speed but it was a huge pain to set up. I have to change my router and everything thing that runs off of it to the slower signal, once I finally did that it worked. Thankfully I’ll only be using this once or twice a year so I can switch it back once the holidays are over. Someone who is better with technology may have a lot easier time setting it up but I struggled!
