> 24 hourThis product uses the same app as my front door lock, so did not have to download another app. Connected up immediately and works great. Took all of 3 minutes to set up. Very satisfied.

> 24 hourJust received this and added it to my SmartLife compatible app. It is a simple switch, so the outlets are all switched on and off at once, no individual control. I used it in an area of my yard that has a weak wi-fi signal, but it seems to have no problem connecting. The case looks nice, sturdy and even the screw holes are covered with rubber pads. I gave it 4 stars because it does not include any covers for the unused outlets. In my part of the world any open holes outdoors are filled by mud dabbers or otherwise infiltrated by insects. I covered the unused outlets with electrical tape. It should include at least 2 rubber outlet covers to ward off insects and moisture.

> 24 hourI needed a multi-power tap for the driveway side of my home where I could plug in power tools as there is only a single outlet in a weatherproof housing which was awkward to use and some of the power plugs were shaped so they wouldnt fit. Because of the 90° plug on this one, I did have to file a small dip in the bottom of the housing rim to seat the plug firmly but that was a minor problem and I can close and lock the housing with this device in place! It has functioned perfectly powering my vehicle battery conditioner, power washer, vacuum and other power tools I needed to use. The price listed was very reasonable.

> 24 hourIve used a bunch of these outdoor smart outlets, and was hoping this one would be more robust as it has three outlets instead of the more typical two. However, due to the compact design, I found that it kept getting water in the outlets and triggering the ground-fault circuit interruption (GFCI) shutoff. Other units have a little lip at the bottom which acts like roof flashing in your house, keeping water from creeping around the edge. I think its the lack of such a flange that causes this issue. If youre keeping this away from water (say inside a box or under an eave), you may have better luck. The other thing that wasnt stellar was that you need to push the power button on the actual unit to energize it after a power outage. Otherwise, it wont connect to the network. Considering the intent of this style of outlet is that it can be activated remotely, it would be better if it auto-resumed after an outage. It connects fine using Smart Life/Tuya Smart, offering control of each outlet individually on a 2.4Ghz network.

> 24 hourThis outdoor smart plug was OK to set up (not automatically found by Smart Home, but no problem manually setting it up), and works reliably. And it didnt require a special phone app (Tuya Smart home covers LOTS of smart devices!!) just for it. All three sockets come on at once, however, instead of individual controls. Full amperage switching for the wire size, though - not reduced like some smart switches. Im using it to voice control my dust collector, which has a fair sized motor on it (BIG amperage to start motors!!). Price is middle of the road for such things...

> 24 hourI already had devices setup on the Smart Life app so it was a super breeze to setup all the way to asking Alexa and Google to turn the switch on and off. I didnt have to do anything with either one of them since they were both already setup with the Smart Life app. This is a heavy duty, rugged device; very substantially made. I wanted to have this to control my set of landscape lights. I had one of those plastic programmable timers doing the job but since the rest of the house is Alexified, I figure why now do it for the landscape lights as well. I test it with both AIs and it instantly obeyed the on-off commands. There wasnt anything in the app though for adjusting to daylight savings time. My pet peeve with my other switch control was that if we had a power outage, the timer would have to be reset. Im imagining that is not the case with this one. That was a biggee for me; just one more chore to take care of. At first, I was imagining what it would be like to have each outlet programmable individually, but that is not the case. I can live with that. Its handy if you have multiple devices that need to come on at the same time. Im thinking of getting a second one of these in order to turn on a tool and dust collector in my shop at the same time verbally. This is a 15-amp socket so I wont be hooking up any heavy-duty pieces of equipment to it. So, for setup you just plug it in, open the Smart Life app, hit the add button, and press the on button on the device for 5 seconds. Things start to blink, and bingo within about 30 seconds it is setup. I changed the device name to Landscape Lights and was surprised that Alexa and Google both controlled it instantly even with the just changed name. No bugs, it just works. It needs a 2.4Ghz network Wi-Fi to work. I have both 2.4 and 5 and fortunately I didnt have to go into my router and shut off the 5 to get it working. Like I said, It just works. Great stuff. Highly recommended.

> 24 hourWorks fabulous!!! I’ve decorated my yard for all the holidays this year which I normally don’t but with this year being extra painful I wanted to bring joy to the neighbors, now for the major holidays I want crazy and I needed more 3 outlet cords and smart ones at that. It’s a lot of work turning everything on and off and unplugging it and when it’s cold it’s a million times worse so this is just a life saver. I have another as well and they work great. Easy to set up through an app on your phone and it’s just follow the directions. So if you need extra outlets, hands, a smart plug, this is what you need.
