Lutron Caséta Weatherproof+ Outdoor Smart Plug On/Off Switch | Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, Ring, Apple HomeKit (Smart hub Required) | for Landscape and String Lighting | PD-15OUT-BL | Black |1

I bought 2 for my outdoor string lights, best decision ever. I chose to control it thru the Lutron app rather than Alexa. I now have 9 Lutron Caseta plugs and Im extremely happy with their performance. These outdoor plugs have replaced my old timers, theyre resistant to our extreme heats and rainfall. Highly recommend it.

So happy Lutron introduced this to the Caseta compatible line. My use is to control a home water pressure pump that I dont always want running but cannot easily access. Compared to my previous solution which was a remote-switched plug/dongle cord, this product allows me to control or schedule the pump at certain times and/or remotely. For example, when running the drip irrigation system for 2.5 hours I dont want or need the loud water pressure pump running. Now I can automatically schedule the Smart Plug to turn off at 2am before the irrigation system comes on and run it in silence. I have no issues with range, although I do use two extenders - one plug-in dimmer and one additional repeater, as part of my whole-home shades and lights system. The Caseta system is probably the best ever infrastructure addition to my life and their customer service is tremendous. The only bummer is adding 3 Picos, on top of the device itself, to manually control the Smart Plug from various bathrooms (for shower pressure) takes up valuable slots in the Caseta system which has a maximum of 75 devices. You dont need Picos if you want to control it from the app, but I find it easier, and people without the app can turn the Smart Plug on and off in real time, should your needs dictate. It would be great if Lutron could offer dedicated RF remotes along with the plug (outside of the Caseta network) that would be in addition to any additional Picos one chooses to add to the Caseta network through the app. Strictly speaking, this RF remote technology would likely be a step back for the sophisticated company but it would be convenient if the plug came with a few remotes that just worked out of the box.

I have a lot of Lutron Caseya gear, must be close to 20 switches. This is the first that didn’t work as advertised. I set this up and found that it would only ever turn on remotely, never off. I tried to reset it and resting it but could not get it to pair again from my outside outlet that couldn’t have been more then 40 feet from my hub and only an inside and outside wall between them. I brought it in and it paired ok, so not sure why it can’t pair from the outside but my guess is the communication was blocked somehow.. when you make an outside outlet you would think they would ensure it works from the outside!

Product works seamlessly just like the rest of my caseta products

It has great wireless range from the Lutron Caseta hub. Turned my outdoor Christmas lights on and off every time.

In addition to the Lutron WiFi base device, you may need to buy a Lutron Caseta plug-in dimmer to act as a range-extender for your WiFi system. You can set up one (only one!) plug-in dimmer to act as a range-extender so placement is key for reliable coverage. I have all sorts of Lutron Caseta smart switches and they work flawlessly in comparison to other brands...and trust me...I have bought a lot of smart switches from varying different manufacturers. This outdoor remote switch is in a far corner of my backyard and it has never failed to work or lose WiFi connection. And, its rugged. Really better than other products I have used. Though, I still put a weatherized cover over the smart switch but I wouldnt hesitate to install it in the open air with weather/sprinklers in the area. Providing you install it via the recommendations in the instruction manual.

I replaced some older Insteon equipment with the Caseta hub, switches and now this appliance controller. All is working well and is easy to use.

This is an extension cord. Thats all that is in the box. It has no way to connect with your smart phone, as advertised. This is not a smart plug. To make it a smart plug, you will need to purchase an additional component called a Smart Bridge, which is currently an additional $80. This is only mentioned in the fine print of this page. That doubles the cost of your project. This is a scam.

Use to turn on/off exterior spot lights in my property. Smart plug works very well and setups/integrates easily into Lutron app. But, I did have to move my Lutron hub to a more central location in my house as one plug was initially out of range
