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

The plug works great and pairs very well and easily. You will need to have kasa app and the integrate with Google home if Google is your preferred app. There have been few instances when Google assistant has complained about unable to run the routine as the device wasnt responding. Its not a big deal and its fairly common with the current iot technology. The device has survived a freezing rain, snow and 10f. So I am happy with its performance. However, my biggest frustration is that the manufacturers chose to put the max load on the plug as 1/2 hp electric motor. It takes special kind of intelligence to come up with that. Anyways, after a painstaking 30 mins of search, I found that I can plug up to 1400W. If you are unsure, get a load meter to measure before you plug in your load.

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.

With this product you do not have to wire an indoor switch, to turn the power on to an outdoor light. You dont even have to leave the building..

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.

Just what I was looking for

Totally unhappy with the meross outdoor plug products this is a great replacement

Used 2 of the for Christmas lighting. Worked perfectly. Love the timers.

Easy to setup and get working in 10 minutes

Now my patio light are voice controlled rather than manually turning them on

I really like the kasa brand. Its made my TP-Link and I have their deco mesh routers, kasa smart plugs and switches. Set-up is easy, the app is great and everything early pairs with Google Home.
