Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet with 2 Sockets, IP64 Weather Resistance, Compatible with Alexa, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, ETL Certified(EP40), Black

I have 2 lights outside ,one on each side of my garage with the 2plugs going into the plug inside the garage. I wanted them to come on automatically at sunset and turn off at sunrise. My first thought was the light sensing bulbs for them but because of a bright streetlight, that wouldnt work. I got the 2 outlet smart plug figuring I could set the time I wanted them on and off but found there is also a sunset sunrise setting which was so much easier to set and since its on the wifi, it uses the location to get the time of the local sunset and sunrise-Perfect!

Finally I don’t have to go out in the middle of a freezing night because I forgot to turn off the decoration lights or left them running till the next day because I was too lazy or forgotten it was on. Works great. And the heavy rain this winter did no damage to it either.

I bought both the Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug AND the Smart Light Switch. I like them, they work great and dont require Googles Alexa Spy on you device. The app is pretty good, Im actually impressed with it. Some features that are missing though...hint hint Kasa development team...setting a schedule for a group of devices. It already lets you group devices together and turn them all on and off manually as a group, but it does not let you schedule that way, so you have to set the schedule individually for each. ALSO it would be nice if we could add + or - minutes to Sunrise & Sunset times on the schedule. I live in the Pacific Northwest. Especially in winter on cloudy days, it gets dark well before sunset and stays dark after sunrise. Id like the lights to come on 30 minutes before and stay on 30 minutes after.

This is the best plug i found after searching for a month that do not need base to communicate with plug and works really well with apple HomeKit; best part is individual plug setup with exactly what is it for so you never gets confused with which one is for which device

We have Kasa lights and switches all over. The smart plug we use outside at Christmas and program them with Google. All we have to do is say hey Google turn on Christmas lights and bam! Love it!

Been using these to control irrigation for the garden for a couple of years now and they’ve never let me down. Just purchased a 2nd one and the first is still working flawless

It is a time saver in the winter. I have it hooked to the tractor heater to preheat the block in the winter. I can turn it on in the house a few hours before using the tractor.

Alexa Integration Rating: Installing this plug required using the Kasa App on my phone. I already had 5 fully functional Kasa plug in place. When I tried to use the Kasa app to install the new plug 4 of the 5 existing plugs ceased to work. I spent hours getting the 4 plugs and the new plug to work. The fifth plug doesnt show up on the Kasa app but it works perfectly. Remote Control Rating: I dont know if the problem is with Alexa or Kasa but sometimes both plugs on the new Kasa plug turn on when I have only asked for one to turn on. The names for the plugs may be too similar so it could be a user problem.

I use them for my landscape lighting. I simply disconnect the timer feature on the power transformer, plug the transformer directly into the Kasa Outdoor Plug, then use my cell to program what I want. Works great and have had no problems.

Super easy to set up. The app could be a little better, but once you mess around with it a bit its simple. I havent tried the Alexa Integration yet. Im using it mostly for an outdoor light timer so that feature wasnt important to me. The build quality and materials are solid. All the seams lined up well, no gaps and the electrical core junction, plug and casing are well sealed and up to the task for an outdoor installation. The plug covers could be a bit more substantial, but since I have both plugs occupied full time, thats not important to me. I was impressed with the strength of the signal reception. I was able to install this inside a metal exterior wiring box for a nice clean look and still have a perfectly strong signal.
