Kasa Apple HomeKit Outdoor Smart Plug, 2 Sockets, IP64 Weather Resistance for Outdoor String Lights, Compatible with Siri, Alexa & Google Home, Long Wi-Fi Range, 2.4G Wi-Fi…

Kasa’s smart home products are among the best in the industry. It is evident that a lot of time and effort is pit in to the design, development and testing of their products, as well as the Kasa app (note: we are using the iOS version of their app). It is utterly offensive when you purchase an amazing product and find that the company has put little-to-no effort in to their app. I’m happy to report that the Kasa developers have not let anyone down in this regard.

Each of the Kasa products we own has been reliable and have never once failed us, and we’ve had several outlets in our home for ~12 years now. They are easy to setup and configure. They always (and I mean always!) stay online, and they reconnect after power outages without having to reset everything. They also integrate well with the most common home assistants like Alexa, Google, and IFTTT. Having the ability to group them in to categories and/or rooms allows you to synchronize the behavior of multiple devices. After the initial setup we used the included wire holders and screws (they also provide a wall anchor in each package for stone/concrete) to mount them under the waterproof receptacles in a downward-facing orientation (** Important: you MUST keep the sockets facing down to keep everything waterproof **). We have both of the outlets configured in a “Holiday Lighting” group, along with several other interior Kasa smart outlets. They’re scheduled to go on at sundown and off when we go to bed at night. They behave exactly as expected.

Perhaps the only complaint we have has to do with the plug head. It is vertically oriented, which is the normal/expected configuration. However, if your receptacle is horizontally oriented it can be difficult to plug the socket in and close the cover on your [in-use] waterproof receptacle cover. This ended up being a minor issue for us, but we ended up making it work. Only we had to sacrifice access to the second outlet on the receptacle to do so. If Kasa made this with a rotating plug head you could orient it horizontally or vertically and avoid this altogether.

Es un buen enchufe exterior para controlar 2 diferentes aparatos, lo tengo para el riego del jardín y para controlar un DynaTrap para el control de mosquitos, cada uno tiene diferentes tiempos de operación y fácil de utilizar, contra otros enchufes inteligentes, este tiene mayor cobertura (distancia hacia el router).

Cumple lo que promete!

I use the Kasa double plugs for just about everything I need automated. The best example are the exterior christmas lights, as well as the Christmas tree.

The exterior blow ups on the lawn, and the lights on the house are set and forget. The scheduler on the app is easy to use and the results are accurate. The plugs hook into your wi-fi, but are programmed within the app on your phone.

I owned several of these plugs, and purchased an attitional plug this year for the Christmas Tree. These are rated indoor and outdoor and come in one or two plug units. Automation of interior lights, lighting for parties or venues, if you are away from home and want to have lights come on, etc. Also, I can turn the power of the plugs on and off from where ever I am, as long as I have internet access.

Ya he comprado previamente algunos productos Kasa, focos solamente y son una excelente opción, en esta ocasión necesitaba un smartplug para exteriores y me decidí por este, realmente creo que es una opción bastante accesible, la calidad de materiales es buena, su construcción se ve robusta, si creo la presunción de que sea para exteriores. Además la configuración fue extremadamente sencilla, no es necesario ningún hub, ya que basta abrir la aplicación y en pocos minutos está listo. Sin lugar a dudas una buena opción para exteriores.

Should you buy it?
Yes. The TP-Link Outdoor Smart Plug is sturdy as heck, easy to set up, and offers two smart plugs in one device, and honestly, that’s all you need out of a product like this. It gets the job done reliably and I didn’t want to throw my phone through a wall while trying to get it to respond to Alexa and Google Assistant. For only twenty bucks, this is a solid deal, particularly given that comparable options are often in the “much more than $20” range.

Love using Kasa products. They work well and easy to set up. I use this for my backyard string lights and fan. Works with Alexa and can set timers. Overall, very happy with this product.
