Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Timer, Max Load 15A/1875W, IP64 Weather Resistance, Compatible with Alexa, Google Home & SmartThings, No Hub Required, ETL Certified(KP401)

Works like in the description. I even have it controlled by alexa along with a routine.

Works fine, easy set up and Alexa integration. I am using this indoors so I cannot comment on its effectiveness in outdoor environments.

This thing has seen two years of outdoor use without being unplugged. Its been completely under piles of snow and was still connected to our WiFi. Incredible!

Im glad I trusted the ratings on this one! I really, really like this smart plug!!! Im not easily impressed, nor do I usually take the time to write one of these amazon reviews. So the fact that I am writing one now says something, in and of itself. Let me provide some specifics: this Kasa KP400 smart plug was easier to install than any others I have, including the actual Amazon ones. It has yet to disconnect itself from the network or fail to work correctly (again, better than Amazons own offerings). The timers and sun up/down programs have worked perfectly and it has not failed to follow a single, Alexa-given, command (once more, even better than the actual Amazon plugs)! I like that I can program it through its own (user-friendly) app or through the Alexa app. It has integrated perfectly into my lighting system (hello, Amazon. You taking notes?). I also like that it protrudes outward a bit, so as to not block the other, unused socket. I love that it is outdoor rated, handles a good load (without even remotely heating up), and has that green color that blends in. Additionally, I havent had to return it (after a short time) for issuing a weird error message that Amazon customer service translates to its dead and must be replaced. (Are you listening Amazon? You could learn a few things for your plugs from Kasa!) I not only recommend the Kasa KP400, without reservation, but will likely purchase another one myself (and maybe one for my aging parents). As for the few bad ratings, look: its always possible for one defective unit to get missed by the factorys quality control, or to have an issue with your wifi network. However, if you give Kasa/Amazon a chance to replace it, and if youve set up your coverage right (a lot of folks blame tech for their mistakes), I dont think you can go wrong with the KP400. If you think Im being overly generous and just dont believe me, try it yourself! The worst that can happen is you end up returning it and lose a day or so waiting on an alternative. But I am betting you be as please with it as I am am. So I say: good on ya Kasa! I will be trying some of your other offerings. Especially since the longevity, and functionality, of the Amazon smart plugs seems short-lived.

This is a great product at a great price. Bought this to use for my christmas lights. The Kasa app is very intuitive, and I found it immediately connected to my home WiFi. There is almost no latency when turning on and off with the app via phone. The scheduling tool was easy and did exactly what I want. I use it as a lamp timer while away from home, and for Christmas lights during the holidays. Much easier than the old style light timers!

This item is exactly what I needed and I am very happy with it. I’ll recommend this to anyone needing something like this.

I was having difficulty with setting up the smart switch on the internet. The support rep, Hanson did a great job helping me figure out where I had made a mistake. The switch works like a charm. The software is easy to use. I love it!

Easily configured and works great. Im very happy with this.

I bought some string lights from Costco but they’re pretty bright on my patio. I took a chance and bought this. It works perfectly to dim the strings. I already have several other Kasa products so this was a great addition.

I use this for some outside string lights and it works great. Connects well with Google assistant and the phone app is designed intuitively. I love the timer settings. This was a good purchase.
