The unit worked as advertised - it allowed remote activation of a ventilation fan. But it only worked once. It then just went dead. Yo Link has not responded to my inquiries.

Works perfectly. Excellent range. Easy setup Customer service is terrific if you need help or have a question

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.

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

Dual outdoor switch with independently controlled outlets. Extremely simple setup and use. Switching sometimes incurs a delay or fails to respond, but 2nd try or waiting a little results in solid operation. Very handy for outdoor string lights.

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!

YoLink is so great. Weve had nothing but great experiences with all their products. This one works perfectly for controlling out outdoor lights. It even has two outlets you can control individually.

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.

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.
