Smart Outdoor Plug YoLink 1/4 Mile Worlds Longest Range Smart Plug Work w/Alexa Google Assistant IFTTT Individual Control 2 Outlets IP44 Waterproof for Garden Watering Lighting, YoLink Hub Required

The yolink products works great with Alexa (or I guess any other fancy name) but one thing that is missing is the dimmer feature. Can you please add it since its very helpful for reducing brightness of the outdoor lights.

YoLink is one of the best engineered platforms on the market. Existing outdoor outlets are usually duel. Because their flat plug goes straight down, two of their units will not fit. This is easily solved with a flat plug that is offset 30 degrees so it does not hit the plug under it. Engineers should be forced to use their own product!

YoLink integrates well with my Alexa based smart home. The range of these products are great for outdoor use too.

I have used several other manufactured Outdoor WiFi controlled plugs. They all worked in the beginning but failed soon after. Usually right after the return period ends. Tried YoLink and so far it has worked great on setting up Christmas lights out doors. I have 3 of these and worked perfectly all season. Set on a schedule came on and went off without any intervention from me. I now have several YoLink devices and installation is super simple and they work flawlessly.

Functionally, the YoLink Smart Outdoor Plug timer is another welcome addition to the YoLink enterprise of IOT. Designed for outside use and outside plugs, it has a short length of cabling to plug it into a protected outside outlet, allowing it to dangle below the outlet and close the outdoor outlet cover. See picture I have several older mechanical plug-in timers I cannot use outside because they will not fit inside the outdoor plug outlet cover. Each YoLink Smart Outdoor Plug has two outlets, each of which can be individually programmed with Schedules to come on and go off at separate times. Or you can ignore the scheduling portion and just use it as a 2-plug outlet addition with the YoLink Plug outlets live at all times. Programming them was intuitive, just remembering when creating a schedule, to tap the white check mark in the app, turning the check mark green, before leaving the “creating-a-Schedule” screen. The green check mark prompts a save of the newly created schedule. If you are new to the YoLink environment, remember you have to set up and establish a working hub to manage your YoLink “network”. I have 2 hubs. As YoLink advertises, they will not work on a 5 GH channel, just 2.4 GH channel. Secondly, a continuing frustration is that they absolutely will not ride on my house WiFi, but must be connected to the router or router satellite station via ethernet. Perhaps some people have succeeded with hubs being incorporated via house WiFi, but despite phone conversations and lengthy e-mails, WiFi is just not part of the YoLink solution at my house. YoLink also warns of this WiFi-less possibility. Repositioning the hub away from router without WiFi is limited by the length of the ethernet cable. The cable I got from YoLink was 3 feet. I bought the new Plug specifically to handle Holiday Lights on the house. Specific negative comments on the physical design of the Smart Outdoor Plug: 1. There are rubber plug covers so if you’re not using one plug, it can stay covered. The covers are not attached via a flap to the Plug unit. So when they come off, you have to remember where they are. I’ve already resigned to the fact that they’ll never be used again because I’ll lose them. 2 Most holiday lights come equipped with a two-prong plug which means that the ground plug hole in the YoLink Plug will not be covered. See pictures. 3. The end of the Outdoor Plug that contains the 2 plug outlets has a raised perimeter which limits the size of the plug that can be inserted into the Outdoor Plug. One of my outdoor holiday lights had a plug that was 1 inch X 1.3 inches and I was just at the limit of using it in the YoLink Plug. You can tell from the picture that the holiday light plug it is actually riding up from the YoLink Plug, so it is not flush with the unit. But just long enough to make contact and be usable. If the plug were any larger in either dimension I would not be able to plug it into the YoLink Plug.

Works seamlessly with the YoLink system. Easy to use interface via. YoLink app. I used it outside in cold temperature for Christmas lights and no issues. Another great YoLink product!

I really like the YoLink stuff. Once you have the hub it’s easy to add accessories like this switch unit and program them with your phone. Had this one set up in less than 5 minutes.

It works great in the pool pump house, for controlling the pool pump and remote heater control, with some additional hardware. I added a junction Box, and a few relays; Pump needs a high amp rated relay and heater needs a dry contact / low voltage. The app doesnt offer the flexibility to control the temp of the pool the way I envisioned it might have, but its good enough for setting schedules to run the pump and heater. And the heater is just on or off contact for either spa or pool mode which I just use the spa mode at a 92 degree set temp. If were not using the pool for a few days, I can just disable the heater from running and keep the pump in normal cycle. When I want heat, Boom, its like magic.

I just received the outdoor plug. I plan to use it for controlling my backyard fountain, replacing a Wi-Fi plug that has been inconsistent because of distance. I have not activated the outdoor plug yet but the construction quality is great. It looks like an industrial-grade device. Ince installed I will report. This is an addition to a number of other sensors that I recently purchased from the same seller. All are flawless. This seller provides great value. Strongly recommended.

I put this in my greenhouse with the Yolink Temp and humidity sensor! Set it up in 10 min! Now I dont have to run to my greenhouse to turn the fan or heater on or off. Everything is automated! I love how the Yolink devices work with each other. I set the scene or automation and dont have to worry about it! Also works with Alexa, always a plus. Super easy to set up and use. Cant wait to add more Yolink devices to see what else I can do with them! Cant beat the range and accuracy from Yolink!
