> 24 hourSet up easily on my router using provided documentation. Easy programing with smart phone app. 1st season but, has worked perfect. Live in Michigan with a 1 of snow currently and so far have seen temps as low as 0*F and the unit is working perfectly. Now its just a mater of longevity, I expect many years of seasonal use and will update if that turns out to not be the case.

> 24 hourI’ve had it running for a few years now with no issues. Great product that lasts and does what it says. I have it outside hooked up to my outdoor lighting so I can control the lights with my phone. It works great and stays hooked up to my network. I’m really impressed with how it has held up. I used an older iPhone & now the iPhone X and it has always worked for me.

> 24 hourPut this to work approximately one month ago and the unit continues to work well. This makes our outdoor fountain operation very convenient.

> 24 hourLets start with the app, or the lack of one that works. I opened this and followed the instructions. Nothing, I mean nothing would make the app to work. It would crash all the time or not find the router. Note I tried on 3 different android devices and 2 iPads. Eventually I gave up and found that theres another app (also horrible) called EcoSmart, but at least works. Ok, next big problem, I really thought you could independently control different outlets, this is my fault, but the description leads you to think in another way. Timer, or the lack of a timer to be more precise. So the timer of this unit seems to be located on the app software, that constantly crashes, so my lights are never turning on, unless I remember to open the app, which crashes, and reopen it. Whats the point of a timer if this keeps happening. Im returning this to amazon, avoid it if you can. A better choice: install a GE ZWave smart outlet and plug an external stake on it.

> 24 hourMy least favorite of the WiOn product line. I want to like it, but the WiFi reception is spotty at best. This is most likely due to it being so low to the ground and partially blocked by the house foundation.

> 24 hourSo far so good. I have had this out in the yard for a week controlling my Christmas display. I have multiple schedules and run times depending on the day of the week. Setup was easy with the iPhone app. Only negative comment so far is the plastic stake for the ground, the end is thin and easy to damage when you push it in the ground, so make a pilot hole with a screw driver first and you should not have any trouble.

> 24 hourI thought this was just an outdoor post for my lights - then I read the box and realize I can use this from my phone. Set a timer, activate and deactivate. A welcome surprise and it will become heavily used.

> 24 hourGreat wifi plug. Love being able to set times for outside lights and decorations. I have had a few connectivity issues with this previously, but I get it to work each time and love it for the price. Highly recommend. Ordering more now.
