Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Timer, Max Load 15A/1875W, IP64 Weather Resistance, Compatible with Alexa, Google Home & SmartThings, No Hub Required, ETL Certified(KP401)

At first there were some issues with the updates and connecting, and I thought Id need to return it, but it ended up working great. Lots of smart options built into this inexpensive device.

Kasa is the best. This plug works perfect with Edison outdoor lights from Costco.

Excellent & compact. Perfect in every way.

I bought two of these for my holiday lighting where I didnt have a programmable switch. These smart outlets worked perfectly.

I had some difficulty getting the device set up on my network. The customer support person, Jacky, provided detailed troubleshooting instructions and followed up with me regularly until I was able to connect. The switch works really well on my Edison bulb string lights around my deck.

I am using this to control a gutter heat cable. I’ve only had to use it once so far and it worked just fine using my phone to control it remotely. Much better than having to go outside and manually plug something in or turn something on. The plug cover broke off but that doesn’t affect functionality. Deducted one star for that though.

Every now and again you get a product that just works. This is one of those. The setup was simple. The app is intuitive. The dimmer itself works really, really well. My LED string lights (Ambiance Brightech) can now go from fully lighting my outdoor space at night to a dimly light cozy space - and everything in between. If you’re getting a dimmer for your string lights and want an app with it - consider the Kasa.

Ive installed two KP401 (switches, for pump timers) and two KP405 dimmers. The two switches have been outside, turning water-feature pump motors on and off. One of them works reasonably well. The other seems to need reprogramming every few weeks. Im going to try replacing the flaky switch with another KP401, but if that fails Im going over to the YoLink. I would have picked the YoLink because it has much better range, but it is 2x as expensive.

With our electricity having recently increased 40% per kWh, I knew this season, I needed to run our pool on a timer rather than 24/7 given it drawing 16amps (@124VAC). Rather than having to go to the trouble and cost of wiring up an actual pool pump timed, I figured I’d just by a heavy duty extension cord, cut the end off to wire to the pump motor, and use this since I already have a ton of Kasa gear. It’s been working perfectly! This unit seems to have no issue handling the nearly 2000w load of the pool motor. The brief startup load is even higher which has not been a problem. The signal range is rather exceptional as well.

High quality piece but you need a whole house smart system. Silly me thought I could just use it with my wifi. Returned without issue.
