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

I now have three of these controlling devices on the deck. Fountains, lighting features, etc. This is a solid product and I keep adding it to different projects in the house.

Tried to use this outdoors in a rain proof box. Despite being only 100 ft away from the controller, the signal was not sufficient for a reliable signal. Also, found out the hard way that it only will handle the rated 15amps as a steady load. Peak startup amps blew something inside and it never worked again. Contacted support and they recommended adding a relay to resolve.

I purchased two of these to use with outside fountains. I can control the light and water feature with via the app from anywhere. They work so well that I will buy more as my needs grow. Yolink is the best and easiest system to setup and use.

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.

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.

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!

Was able to use outside with two controllerable plugs. Range is amazing.

works as good as the big name brands at at lowers price.

Works great. You can control the outlets from anywhere.

The yolink products have just enough wifi range to control several smart devices in my basement where others failed. Also like the power strip which gave me greater flexibility Highly recommend
