Kasa Smart Outdoor Plug, Home Wi-Fi Outlet with 2 Sockets, IP64 Weather Resistance, Compatible with Alexa, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, ETL Certified(EP40), Black

Buena marca y recistente ala intemperie,se los recomiendo (solo que las personas que no saben instalar se requiere una persona que sepa)

This is pretty much what you'd expect from the description. It plugs into a regular socket and provides two weatherproofed sockets, each of which can be controlled by the button beside it or via the app. It uses 2.4GHz wifi connections, so if you've upgraded to the point you're only using 5 and 6GHz you'll be out of luck. Remote control is easy enough, the app is simple and pretty intuitive. Just make sure you choose the right product when you're connecting it. Once it's connected it works, and you can manually turn each individual socket on and off with the app, or set up schedules, or link Kasa to something like Google Home and set it up there, and so on. Connecting was easy - it was cold outside when mine arrived so I plugged it into an indoor socket and connected it to my wifi, then took it outside when it was a bit warmer. It reconnected to my wifi automatically and more or less instantly. Being rated for outdoor use means you can use it to set things like Christmas or Halloween lights on a timer, and being able to schedule based on sunrise and sunset means you don't have to constantly adjust a time-based solution as the days get longer and shorter. I like being able to set my yard lights to come on 15 minutes after sunset and turn off at 11pm. If your outside sockets are low to the ground you may find the cord is a little on the long side. My sockets rest on my porch and I'd kinda like a shorter cable. It's a minor annoyance, not enough to warrant dropping a star, but if you have the kind of situation where you have an outside socket low on a wall and often get puddles forming underneath it you might want to rig something up so it doesn't sit in a puddle. It's rated to work in temperatures cold enough that I don't expect issues even through the depths of winter.

Item came and works great!

I am very impressed with this product. It is well made and the app is easy to use, once you've gone through the installation process. (We are using the Kasa app.) I appreciated that the instructions packed in the box were brief and to the point, not endless pages of meaningless safety warnings and disclaimers. I would definitely buy again.

Update (12/11/23): Found there is a newer version of the single wall plug, which offers energy monitoring capability. The newer model is KP115, released in Oct 2020; whereas the older model is HS103P2, released in March 2018. The newer plugs are more expensive, but I would pay the extra cost for the energy monitoring feature if needed.

One of the two white single plugs was DOA (dead on arrival), so I took the opportunity to open it up and inspect the internals. The 2-plug outdoor one worked fine. Initial Problem: The issue with one of them was the relay would click, but plug would not pass power. This occurred with both the physical power switch, and through the app; so the control circuit was ok, but the power circuit was defective. Observations (construction): Like most modern manufactured items, this one is a snap together setup, and once I figured out where the tabs were, disassembly was fairly straight forward (I will not be providing a step by step on how to open them). The construction is decent. The relay is a 200V and 16A version, and should be able to pass full power (1875W for a 15A circuit). However, I would not push the power limit as fire could ensue. Software Setup: After downloading the app (iPhone), setup was straight forward. It appears to only connect to a 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi network; however, with my phone on the 5GHz network, I was still able to control the device. Generally 2.4GHz has better range, and 5GHz has better bandwidth, so 2.4Ghz is the appropriate band for this device (and most IoT devices). Upon completion of setup, the app offered to update the firmware (which completed in less than 5 minutes). Setup was the same for both (the outdoor didn't need a firmware update). Pros: simple setup; firmware updates. Cons: 1 of 2 DOA. Conclusion: At $13 for two, rating this 3-stars (-2 for the DOA, otherwise this would have been 5-stars). I also ordered a two-outlet Outdoor plug (listed below), which I am rating 5-stars.
