So nice to have such easy control of lighting outdoors. Used two of these for our string lights on our gazebo. App is super easy to use and the dimming feature works perfectly. Perfect product!

I ordered two of these to control some deck lights and a pump for a water feature. I have other Kasa smart plugs so initial setup was easy with the app and it was a snap to add them to my homes Alexa app. One of the plugs would not connect to the Wifi from the deck in the back of the house, but swapping it with the other plug worked just fine. I imagine the range is not too consistent on all of these plugs. I had to re-setup (rename, etc...) the two plug which just took a minute. One is setup as a light control and the other is set up with a schedule to go on for a few hours each day to run the water pump. So far so good.

Works great with the Alexa app in controlling our patio lights.

I have several TP-link Kasa Smart Plugs and a Kasa light switch, so I wanted to match my outside plug for the Christmas lights I had up on my fence. I couldnt find anything and then came across this. I didnt know or even think if my Christmas lights were dimmable, but knew it would still work if they werent. Lo and behold my lights were dimmable; so, I set it at 75% and put the lights on a schedule and it all worked perfectly, and was visible/availble for control in my Kasa Phone app where I set up the % brightness and schedule.

Ive installed numerous TP-Link Kasa smart plugs and switches to integrate my home lighting with my Alexa Echos and Show 8 as well as my Ring doorbells and cameras. Im amazed at how well all these different systems work together. I needed an outdoor smart plug to control both some outside Christmas lights as well as a bird bath heater. This Kasa Smart K400 Outdoor Smart Plug works perfectly. Since the two outlets on the plug can be controlled independently, I plugged my heated bird bath into one and my Christmas lights into the other. I especially like the Kasa Android app, which allows you to easily set what time you want the lights to come on and go off. You can also set it to come on at Sunset (or a prescribed number of minutes before or after sunset) (similarly with Sunrise). You can set different times for each day of the week if you want. A very nice and easy to use app. Installation of the Smart Plug was also very straightforward with step-by-step guidance from the app. For my heated bird bath, I set up a routine using the If This Then That (IFTTT) app. I set the heater to turn on if the outside temperature drops below 35 deg F and turn off if the outside temp goes above 35 deg F. One thing to be aware of - the Kasa outlet must not be limited to Local control if you want outside apps such as IFTTT to work with it. For some reason, my outdoor smart plug reverted to local control and there is no obvious way to get out of this state using the app. After researching this on the web, the one solution that seemed to work was to assign the smart plug a reserved DHCP IP address on your home router. I did this and then reset the switch. All works fine now. Bottom line is this is a waterproof outdoor smart outlet that works well, has an easy to use and very flexible controlling app, and integrates nicely into the smart house ecosystem (at least with Alexa, Google Home, and IFTTT which are the ones Ive tried). I would gladly buy this again if I need another one.

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

Used Smart Life app for unit, have this with other units Just hit add in app and it found it, and setup was no problem worked well with LED lights Con: None Pro: worked as stated can adjust from 10% to 100% from Alexa.

I was having difficulty with setting up the smart switch on the internet. The support rep, Hanson did a great job helping me figure out where I had made a mistake. The switch works like a charm. The software is easy to use. I love it!

I have 2ft led black lights and this Kasa outlet could dim all of them. It didn’t dim them much so I returned them but other outlets couldn’t handle two. It worked really well with 3. If you need a smart outlet get kasa

Does its job as a weatherproof smart plug. The picture, as of March 2023, is incorrect - it shows a straight plug (the male end), but TP-Link support informed me that the new hardware version (v1.26) of the KP401 has a bent plug (90 degrees from the direction of the cord), and the old hardware version with the straight plug isnt being made anymore. 4 stars instead of 5 because it wasnt as pictured, and getting an answer from TP-Link support was unnecessarily difficult.
