Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet with 2 Sockets, IP64 Weather Resistance, Compatible with Alexa, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, ETL Certified(EP40), Black

When I started buying items to turn our home more towards being a smart home my husband was leery. Ive always been a gadget.. freak. I dony go out and buy any old thing. I research the items. I dont want a system installed by some alarm company, I want a custom setup - which means watching for incompatibility. The few items Ive installed havent impacted him much so he wasnt impressed, except that they worked & werent a waste of money. However, since he was going to soon put up Christmas lights and any timers we had he hated. Mainly because he was worried about fires when we were away for more than a couple of hours. This caught my eye. A timer (so he wouldnt have to run out in his pjs in icy cold weather to unplug it), an outlet designed for outdoor use, and it has remote access. I didnt rell him I ordered it. But when I showed it to him and got it set up and he saw how easy it was to use, well, hes a big fan. Weve had no problems with connectivity. It works easily with Alexa, and can even connect with the persnickety SmartThings on my Samsung phone! Not that I need that. Between Alexa & the Kasa app Ive got complete control, as does my husband. Well, he uses me to do any configuring. I cant convince him to install Alexa on his phone. *sigh* It is well built, sturdy, and easy to set up. It comes with hardware to secure it to the wall so that there is no stress on the houses outlet, or on it, when things pull (or people) on whatever is connected. This is one feature that my husband really liked. He gets aggrivated with cords pulling out of the outlet or the strain on the outlet causes the inner parts to warp and plugs no longer plug in as easily. And, as most outdoor outlets have, it has covers for each outlet to keep the weather - and kids - out. I havent checked these closely for being tamper resistant, but I had to work at it a bit to open it. I like that. Time will tell if they become loose.

I like that its Wi Fi and works great and with phone and Alexa. I have looked at others that are higher priced.

Just what I was looking for

I had to get a wifi extender, once I did that, this works great.

Now my patio light are voice controlled rather than manually turning them on

Been using these to control irrigation for the garden for a couple of years now and they’ve never let me down. Just purchased a 2nd one and the first is still working flawless

I use them for my landscape lighting. I simply disconnect the timer feature on the power transformer, plug the transformer directly into the Kasa Outdoor Plug, then use my cell to program what I want. Works great and have had no problems.

This outdoor dual plug has exceeded my expectations. It works flawlessly with both the app on my phone & Alexa, & resets itself with no issues after power outages. I bought the first a few years ago, & a second last year. Highly recommend.

Used 2 of the for Christmas lighting. Worked perfectly. Love the timers.

I really like the kasa brand. Its made my TP-Link and I have their deco mesh routers, kasa smart plugs and switches. Set-up is easy, the app is great and everything early pairs with Google Home.
