Greater than one weekI use this to control 4 banks of backyard lights. I testsd the powerstrip inside a metal junctionbox at the end of the 1 acre property, from inside a brick house with internal and external concrete block walls - no issues. Originally I was going to leave it assembled and just use pigtail-male plug end to drive 110 ice cube relays. However, when I opened it I was surprised how nice and easy the circuit board was laid out, was able to Dremel cut the 110 from the 4 relays and solder the 12v power supply common and output to terminals for hookup. All said and done, the cost of the device is a fraction of the time and other material to make the project work. Maybe Yolink will come out with an outdoor, IP rated multi-relay, with fusable dry contacts and maybe offer their own low voltage power supply, too. I mean, really, its just a relay. If people want to ues 110, 12 or whatever, just give us the terminal selection. Until then, Ill be making a couple more of these for front yard lights and then Christmas lights/features.. That said, Like the other Yolink devices, this is reliable and just works. The only downside is the app doesnt offer a dusk / dawn feature to control anything, as of yet, so Ill have to update times as the seasons change. But never again will I use an outdoor timer or photosensor to control anything plugged in. If theres not an app for it, Im not doing it. Lol

> 3 dayThe Smart Power Strip is awesome. It was a breeze to set up using my iPhone, easy as taking a couple pictures. Loved that the scanner was built into the app. Able to turn off my laptop and MacBook chargers when not in use, as well as control a light by time without having to get down on my knees to reset a wall timer as daylight hours change - I can do it all from my recliner. And the controllable USB charging ports are a bonus! Response time is really fast - impressive. Happy that the app supports touch id - we have enough passwords to remember, and not having to remember another for my YoLink account is great. All devices and device control is available through the app, including doing firmware updates. Really well thought out and implemented. Looking forward to more devices from YoLink.
