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

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.

Outdoor Smart Plug is a great way to control our outdoor light strings from Alexa or using the onboard switch. The integration to Alexa control was quick and easy using the smart tools app, follow the instructions and it takes about 3 minutes to complete. This is a dual plug outlet so you can control the plugs independently or as a group through Alexa, this provides flexibility to select different lights or other items to be controlled as desired. The other good thing about this switch is the current rating, you can put a large string of lights, or possibly a outdoor heater or infrared lights, schedule them and be a hero to your pets.

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.

The possibility of having WiFi integrated plugs outdoors is great. Control of patio lighting, seasonal lights, outdoor fans and so on. The plug also integrates into the Amazon Echo Alexa control for simple operation. The plug has two independent plugs that can be each controlled per the smartphone App or voice command. The plug has features like scheduled on/off, a countdown timer and individual control. WiFi connection was easy and the signal seems to be very strong. My in home WiFi network is very good outside and that helps. The plug is compact, weather resistant and durable. It is a high quality device that functions reliably and has practical features. It is very reasonably priced and is a great value. I give it 5 stars.

Setup was a bit of a pain since my phone did not want to drop 5 ghz wifi and use 2.4, once I forced my phone to only use 2.4 ghz setup Was quick and easy. It is great that it shows up in Alexa as 3 devices. One that controls both outlets and one for each outlet individually. I set mine up on a schedule but can also control by phone or Alexa at anytime. It has stayed connected to my wifi with no problems for almost 2 weeks now

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.

This was exactly what I was looking for in terms of an outdoor weather-resistant smart plug. I have a string of lights on our deck that I use daily, and I was previously using one of the spin dial timers to try and turn them on/off. I can say this plug is a significant upgrade from our old setup and the app is very easy to install and use. I especially like the convenience of being able to adjust the on/off times quickly to account for things like daylight savings and such without having to go outside and try and perfectly position the dial I was using before. The black color is subtle, and I love the ability to have separate controls for each of the plugs, allowing us to have additional options for Christmas lights in the coming year. I’ve already recommended this plug to numerous friends and definitely wouldn’t hesitate to purchase again!

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.

I love this, I used it for the Christmas lights and works great. 100% recommended

I am using this smart plug outside for the birdbath heater. Works just perfect. I can operate it from inside the house via smartphone. Love it.
