> 3 dayI bought this to connect into my Wink automation to turn on outdoor Christmas lights in 2020. It works great but I had to do some digging on YouTube and other places to get it to integrate with my Wink hub. They should provide better documentation as when I scanned the barcode with the Wink app, it said the device was not supported. I wen through the manual process thanks to youtube videos and it connected. No issues after that but I had to move my Wink hub closer to it as the wireless signal would not reliably pass through the front brick on my house to activate it. Beyond that it works great now and I will be using it every year going forward. Easily integrated with Alexa.

> 3 day***** October 2020 (10 month update) ****** This product is still working great. I have not noticed it missing any commands or suffering any degradation. I have mine completely exposed to the elements, plugged into an outdoor outlet and mounted on a fence. It appears as new as the day it was installed. I continue to be more than satisfied given that this provides two outlets and ZWave at a great price. ****** February 2020 ***** My original review is below. The vendor (EvaLogik) did update the device handler for this product and it now works as expected. I am able to control the two outlets as separate items inside the SmartThings application. I appreciate that they provided quick and accurate responses to my questions and followed through with the promised update. I am using this to turn on a set of outdoor lights and an outdoor fountain on different schedules and when triggered from a motion detector. I wanted two outlets so I can turn the lights on after dark but turn the fountain on at all times of day. I am happy with the way this now working. I will update the review with additional info as the product ages. ****** Original Review ****** Im a SmartThings user and prefer to add Z-Wave devices to my network instead of the more common WiFi only devices. The EVA-LOGIK two outlet, outdoor plug looked like a great alternative to the GE Z-Wave single outlet device (https://www.amazon.com/GE-Weather-Resistant-Required-Works-SmartThings-14284/dp/B06W9NWFM3) that I also own. Unfortunately I cannot get more than one outlet to show up in SmartThings when I install the device. I have added and removed the device multiple times without luck. SmartThings does list two EVA LOGIK device handlers (one for Single Outlet and one for Dual Outlet) but installing either results in just a single outlet being controllable. I will say that packaging, build quality and installation were all great. I have no complaints about the product other than the fact that it doesnt do the one thing that makes it special. I am able to control a single outlet and the response time is fast. The range seems to be about average for Z-Wave which works for me. I did contact the seller and they responded that they will be able to solve this problem in the next couple weeks. I will update my review if they come through with a fix. For now I cannot recommend this product.

> 3 daySuper easy set up to SmartThings and Alexa app. It’s great to have two smart outlets as opposed to just 1 like other devices. Wonderful for outdoor holidays decorations! I’ve bought two and am thinking about buying more! I have 4 of these. They are great!

Greater than one weekThe box and Amazon page shows a 90 degree plug. (front side of the box has a sticker over the plug end, but back shows 90 degree.) Unfortunately, even with a 90 degree plug, it would still have too short of a cord. All of the outdoor z-wave plugs like this on Amazon have short cords. I just dont get it. It barely makes it to the wall next to the outlet and the plug would have to be so low to the ground that the rain will just bounce back up onto it. Need a cord at least double this length. I could use the mechanical timer that I was using to daisy-chain them, but I think that I will return and purchase a wired outlet to replace the one inside the covered receptacle. I did not try the z-wave connection (I didnt want to waste my time setting up something that I wasnt going to keep.) I gave 2 stars because may work for some applications, but again you barely have enough cord to get to the wall.

> 3 dayThis is what I was looking for to be able to control two outside devices from one device. It works perfectly with my Hubitat Hub.

> 3 dayI purchased this unit because I needed a right angle plug for the rain cover on my outdoor outlet. This unit looked like it had all the feature I wanted. When the product arrived I removed it from the box and found that the product did not match the photos. The product had a straight plug. I had to return the product.

> 3 dayHad it a few months, 95 degrees F and in direct sun and all still works fine. Water resistance seems adequate (mine hangs vertically), angled plug was helpful for my install (top hinged outdoor cover).

> 3 dayI consider myself pretty good at smart home devices and have added dozens of device to Samsung Smartthings (SS) with no problems. But, for the life of me I could not get both of the outlets to show in SS. The second outlet was worthless when setting up my Christmas lights.
