> 3 dayI wanted a plug that would cycle my pool cover pump for 5 minutes every hour when it started raining. The instructions that came with this device are worthless for doing this and the App wording is not intuitive but they have good tech support. First, I had to reset my dual band mesh router to appear as separately named bands so the plug could find the 2.4 channel. When I did this the first time I renamed them xxx2.4 and xxx5.0. That was stupid as all my wireless devices now needed to be relinked. After doing a couple, I realized I could use the old network name for the 2.4 and I wouldnt have to relink everything. To get the plug to cycle for 5 minutes each hour you dont use the Schedule. You choose Timer, then Circulate. This was the confusing part. The start time and end type are the times you want to work within. Start Duration is the amount of time you want the plug ON (e.g. 5 minutes). The End Duration is the time it stays off until the next on cycle. They would have been better worded as On Duration and Off Duration. Once this is setup and saved, you can toggle the Circulation feature on and off. This is so much better than my old plug where I had to setup 24 Ons and 24 Offs. And each time it rained, I had to enable all the Ons, and disable them when it stopped raining. You have no idea how long ive been trying to find a smart plug that would do this.

> 3 dayI’ve purchased several of these ( both single and dual) for our outdoor pergola and fountain pump/lights and impressed with how well they work. We use the dim and timer features for the lights. Easy set-up, prompt delivery and packaged well. Very pleased with this product.

> 3 dayThis was so easy. We have Smart WIFI indoor outlets from BN-Link, and use those all the times. Glad my daughter suggested one for our outdoor Christmas lights. We usually are home to turn them on and off. However, on the occassion when we are arriving at our home and it has turned dark - we like to see our Christmas lights all lit up over the house. Why should the neighbors be the only ones to enjoy the lights? I already had the app installed on my phone to control the indoor outlets, so this particular outlet was easy to add. I just set a daily schedule to turn on around 4:45-5:15 (depending on the month) and then to go off at certain times during the week and a little later time on weekends since that is when we are typically out and about.

> 3 dayWorks great with the lights on the patio. Love the option of dimming the lights when I want to and can turn them on or off from anywhere. Set up was easy. Just wish the cord was a little bit longer

> 3 dayThis item works too the tee! I found it VERY easy to install. Extremely easy. Just load the app on your phone. Allow the app to connect to your Bluetooth via your wifi. Add your password....DONE! Ive replaced all of the incandescent lights to LED, 2,000 of them. I know, crazy! But we got them on sale after Christmas last year. We got them almost for free from Ace Hardware . This dimmer works perfectly with the LED Lights from 100 percent down to 1 percent. NO flickering at all! We keep our tree up all year long and call it out Seasonal Tree. We decorate it with whatever session it may be. Soooo, yes, Id recommend this to anyone. Even to my family, ha ha. P.S: IM GIVING IT 15 STARS!
