Outdoor Smart Plug 2 Sockets WiFi Compatible with Alexa & Google Home Devices ~ Wireless Remote Control Timer & On/Off with App (WiFi 2 Outlet)

Works great once set up. I have a pretty long distance from my router but still get a good connection with no issues. I use it to run my Pool Pump all Summer with set timers. Only issue I had was they had poor directions to set up & pair to my WiFi. I eventually got it paired after many tries & researching on YouTube Video.

The included instructions says to download Smat Life app. It is supposed to be Smart Life app. Took a few attempts to get to recognize on the app but did connect and has stayed connected with no problems. Syncing with Alexa was the easiest part. Works every time with the Alexa command. Renaming the switches was simple as well. Has worked great for our uses.

I ordered the Outdoor Smart Plug 2 Sockets WIFI Compatible with Alexa & Google Home Devices ~ Wireless Remote Control Timer & On/Off with App (Wifi 2 Outlet) for review and would like to share my thoughts. I ordered this Smart Plug to be used with my outdoor lights. Basically I have it plugged in my garage so I really have not tested the weather proofness however for my purposes it has worked flawlessly with Alexa to control my outdoor string lights. It was super easy to set up and just plain easy to use. It is not the prettiest plug but for an outdoor or in my case the garage, it is perfectly fine and with how well it works, I have zero issues with it at all.

This work so well I bought more makes turning everything on and off so easy

I dont have your average network setup at my house, I have several vlans and each is tied to a specific wireless SSID. I added this device to my untagged default vlan 1 SSID worked quick as I was getting ready for a wireless redesign. I setup a SSID specifically for all my smart devices all my other smart light switches from leviton works on the new SSID with tagged vlan traffic. when I tried to add this smart plug to the same SSID as my leviton smart switches it does not connect. Just know you more advance IT guys with your networks this device does not support tagged vlan traffic. Dont get me wrong the device works it power on and off my pool pump just wish it supported tagged vlan traffic. I could not find a email support and the smart life support bot would not have been able to answer any of my questions.

Let me get the negative out of the way: The instructions vaguely mention downloading the Smart Life app. But it doesn’t specify which one. I found three from the same developer with similar names in iOS . Two of them are identical so I don’t know why they have duplicates. I downloaded two until I could make out the correct one. Aside from this, the app doesn’t offer scheduling functionality beyond a week. I need to be able to schedule it monthly at least. That’s when the router begins to need to be restarted. The positive: You can schedule a weekly on/off every or any day of the week (although it’s limited to that) for each of the two outlets. Can be remote controlled via the Internet and you can share the access. My conclusion is that it can be practical to an extent. It needs monthly scheduling. I wouldn’t want to restart the router unnecessarily once a week because I have another one in the house which is working as a repeater. The second one tends to unlink from the main and cannot be relinked unless unplugging it and reconnecting it from the power. Time will tell if the smart plug is useful despite its limitations. When my router needs restarting, few devices are accessible from the internet. The fear is that if the smart plug is not accessible, then it beats the purpose of having it.

Love this. Works great. Wish setup for Alexa was better explained

I already had the Smart Life app with a couple of things already in it which had been shared with Alexa so I have voice control with these items. I added this outdoor smart plug to the app and then shared it with Alexa. What Ive plugged in is the bug zapper and a string of porch lights. Not bad! I can program the zapper and lights to come on after dark and only until I head off to bed. That way when I take the dogs out, I can sit out on the porch and enjoy the evening without icky bugs. This is a great addition to my smart home. I forgot to mention that I did have some issues with getting this smart plug recognized. Apparently I had to set my internet connection to 02G instead of 05G for the app to find it. I spent about 2 hours trying to understand why I was having so much trouble until I realized the app was asking me to change my internet connection to 02G in order to get connected. Weird, but once done, it was discovered and added to Alexa so I can now say, Alexa, turn on porch lights, and BAM! They come on! Because I have an Echo Auto, if Im out later than I planned and its dark by the time I drive home, I can ask Alexa to turn on the porch lights so I dont have to stumble through my front gate and up the porch steps in the dark. THIS is why I love the smart life!

Works great for my Christmas lights.

This is the 4th wifi smart device in my network managed by the Smart Life app and it was very easy to add it and set it up. Its a nice heavy duty outdoor power receptacle you can turn on and off as a whole or control the two separate outlets on it separately. After adding them in Smart Life you can add them to your list of managed devices in Alexa. Once you have added Smart Life devices in Google Home, anything you add automatically gets added to that list in Home. A good price for something like this to be used outdoors. Great for controlling things like lights and bug zappers or Christmas lights. 5 stars, great addition to a smart home.
