Was easy to set up and it does work! So for that 4 stars... nice to set routines so you dont have to think about it for holiday lights. Nice thick cord... could be a tag longer so it wasnt dangling off the wall and could lay on the ground but not a big deal. Only complaint is that it seems flaky on the wifi...sometimes takes multiple tries or even unplugging it to connect and change something. I imagine this is just a reality of being outside. But something to consider if you think you might have a weak signal where you want it.

I highly recommend this if you’re looking for an outdoor smart plug. I put off fooling with it for over a week because I thought it would be a headache to get it setup. Nope. Had it connected to my Smart Life app and plugged up outside in under 5 minutes. There’s a plug-in streetlight I use in my front yard to pull into my driveway at night, otherwise I can’t see. This wi-fi plug allows me to turn it on and off from anywhere without plugging and unplugging. It’s located at least 20 feet from where my modem is located inside my house and I have no problem with my connection. I can’t say if it would pick up a wifi connection any further out, but if it didn’t, that would really be more an issue with your router’s signal strength than this product. In that case, I’d recommend getting a stronger router or a signal booster. Luckily, I didn’t have any issues. It’s also nice to know that the other switch is controlled separately. It’s PERFECT for holiday lights. Again, I HIGHLY recommend this little thing. I can’t compare it to any other brands because this is my first one. All I can tell you is that this one in particular does its job well and is easy as pie to set up. If it proves not to be outdoor friendly or I begin to have connectivity problems, I’ll come back to let you know. For right now, it gets 10 stars. A+

Turns out it is compatible with our Alexa echo dot too!

I am having trouble connecting this divide. I have tried several times with the app and with Alexa. I have other plugs that connect right away, even after removing them, renaming them, or disconnecting them. This one has proven impossible. Two stars because the design sits flat on the ground or the wall, and the plugs face downward, preventing any water from getting in. I am disappointed with the Bluetooth connection; the instructions say that I have to use less than 5G, which may be the problem. I do not have these issues with my other plugs.

The outdoor plug is very easy to setup. One mistake I made was thinking it would use the IHome app which it does not. The instructions point to the geeni app. This is not a negative on the product but something to be aware of. After setup I am able to link it to Alexa and control each outlet in the plug individually. The plug looks well made and my problems so far. When placing this plug it will need to go on the bottom outlet plus must hang off the floor. If you place plug on the floor or upside down in the elements the plug will get damaged since it is not designed to work in that position. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and photos of this product. I hope it has been helpful in providing you with more information.

Works great for my sprinkler pump and outdoor lighting. Download the app and your good.

With geeni, it sees it as 2 switches. But with Alexa, its just 1 switch for both plugs. Not worth it.

Great for Christmas lights. Easy to set up and use. We are happy with it.

IHome was great for automating some of my Christmas lights. I scheduled the lights to turn on at four and turn off at 10 PM and it does it on a dime very easily. At first it was a bit difficult to sync the plug in the app but there was some connectivity issues but it did after a couple of tries. The Geeni app is very intuitive and very easy to use. It was very easy to find the Geeni Alexa skill and it worked flawlessly. I can give voice commands to Alexa and she’ll turn them on and off whenever I want but the scheduling works on top of that. So this was great. This is located on my deck and I live close to Seattle so it’s always raining and I haven’t run into any issues yet.
