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)

I thought these were going to work with he SmartLife app, but ended up only being able to get them to work with the Kasa app, which means that now I have 2 apps I have to use to control the lights. This is not ideal. They otherwise work as expected.

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.

Was looking for a timer/dimmer to control the LED string Lights I have going around my pool fence. The bulbs are 1w LEDs and there are 96 ( 4 strings of 24 bulbs each) of them. I saw this dimmer and figured I give it a try. Out of the box the first thing you need to do is download the app for the unit and you must also have a wifi signal in the area you are going to place it. From the app you can create on/off schedules and adjust the brightness. I was most impressed with the dimming range on my lights as they can go from 1% -100% and there is no flickering!! The unit is also controllable via Alexa or Google home. I have it linked to my Google home and so far it has been flawless. I would not hesitate to buy one of these again.

Works out of the box with Kasa app. Easy setup. Have multiple devices for 110 V. But would love to find the 220V versions

Great product.....does what it was intended to do. Have it set up for backyard accent lighting. I use the scheduled timer to turn it on and off automatically. The app works great!

I love that it can dim our bistro lights and it works with Alexa perfectly. Easy to set up and use. I would definitely recommend.

I bought this dimmer plug to use for my patio lights. The thing I liked best is that I can control the lights from inside my house using Alexa and speaking the commands....no more feeling around in the dark for the plug to plug the lights in. It was very easy to connect to Alexa and works perfectly. It has a lot of functions which I probably wont use but they are there in case I change my mind. Great product, well worth buying.

The title says most of it. Simply add it to your home automation environment using the TP-Link app and Alexa automatically recognizes it. We use it for outdoor Christmas lights, plugged into a weather proof, permanently mounted outside, GFCI receptacle. We’re saving energy since it replaced an old fashioned inside permanently mounted commercial grade mechanical motorized timer in a steel box. That old timer’s motor used electricity 24 hours a day to run during the Christmas Season. The TP-Link smart plug itself works great and is bulletproof reliable, even recovering reliably from power outages. And while its Kasa App is friendly and reliable, we do no use the Kasa app timer function for our Christmas Lights. We use an Alexa App “Routine” to turn the lights on 40 minutes before sunset and off at 1:30am... and then back on an hour before sunrise and off 25 minutes after sunrise. If we ever wish to turn them on or off on demand, we simply say “Alexa, turn on Christmas Lights”... and both our Christmas tree (also on a TP-Link plug) and outdoor lights come on. If we only want outdoor lights, we add “outdoor” before “Christmas”... or if we only want the Tree, we add “tree” after “Christmas”. (When adding the plugs, we named them “Outdoor Christmas Lights” and “Christmas Tree Lights”.) Minor CON: That rubber receptacle cover flap is not tethered to the smart plug if you’re using both outlets, rendering it easy to lose. We’ll always be using both receptacles so not a big deal to us. An aside: after we bought this TP-Link Outdoor Smart Plug, another Alexa-compatible Smarthome brand we use, Wyze, announced a double outlet outdoor receptacle for half the price we paid for this TP-Link plug. That Wyze plug adds a photoelectric sensor that can be used to automatically (autonomously from WiFi) control the lights. However, since we prefer to use the Alexa Sunrise/Sunset controls to have the lights on only for a period time before and after those events, we would not use that sensor. Having the lights on all night would waste energy. Furthermore, with the firehouse of new products tiny company Wyze has been releasing, they appear to be straining to maintain the wonderfulness of their previously core product Wyze Cam v2. TP-Link Smarthome products are just plain reliable.

These switches are easy to install on your wifi and work seamlessly with Alexa. Our outdoor tree lights are standard C7 incandescent bulbs. With this plug, they come on at sunset and can go off at dawn or whenever you wish. And you can dim them, which I love. Want them on or off outside the schedule? Just ask Alexa! Want them dimmer? Ask Alexa! Dont have Alexa? You should, but it still works by using Karas app on your phone. But its much more fun to set up a routine on Alexa. :) We say Alexa, Merry Christmas to turn it on, and Alexa, Bah Humbug to turn it off. Original? I dont know, but it makes us smile. Have fun!

We wanted a wifi enabled plug to use in an unheated hen house which is about 50 behind our house and on the opposite side of the house from the router, so about 70 away. This plug works flawlessly. I set it to turn a light on at 5:30 am and off at 8:30 am, and it does just that. I can control it from my phone, using the Kasa app. We just purchased a 2nd one to control the heater in our greenhouse. It was too far from the house for the Feit smartplug which would frequently go offline. This Kasa plug works flawlessly, so if the temperature outside drops lower than expected, I can turn the heater (plugged into the Kasa plug) on from inside the house. Highly recommend this plug!
