This weatherproof outdoor plug is ideal for remotely controlling outdoor lighting, fans, or any other appliance that you might use outdoors. It would be especially useful for holiday lighting where you can use the Alexa app to remotely program start and stop times without having to go outside in the cold, rain, or snow.
Physically, the device is constructed well. The receptacles have separate silicone rubber covers to protect against water entry. The covers seal shut, but they feel a little loose in the closed position. The manual states the device has an IP65 rating which means it is protected from dust and water jets from any direction. To achieve that water resistance, the manual says the plug must be 4.7 feet above the ground. That seems a bit impractical as most outdoor receptacles are near the ground.
The device can be controlled manually with switches located on the plug, but to use it as a smart device it must be used within the Alexa ecosystem. It will not work with Google Home, Apple HomeKit, or any other smart device app other than Alexa. If that is acceptable to you, this plug will work well.
Setting up the device is easy. The only way to set up the device is to go to the Alexa App on your smartphone or tablet, select Devices, and add a new Amazon Basics device. Among the choices you are presented with is an Outdoor plug. Once you have chosen that device the app asks you to scan the QR code printed on the plug or in the user manual, but not the QR code on the box. Scanning the code then gets the device registered on your Wi-Fi Network and it is ready to go.
Although setting up the device was easy, I couldn't immediately control the devices with the Alexa app the first time I set it up. I had to unplug and plug the device in a couple of times before I had voice and app control over the two receptacles. That could be frustrating to someone who hasn't previously used smart devices and discovered their occasionally finicky behavior.
The two receptacles can be controlled independently. By default, they will appear as "plug 1" and "plug 2" on your list of devices on the Alexa app. However, if you have other Amazon smart plugs already on your network, they will rename themselves to "plug 3" and "plug 4" or whatever number is next in line. Of course, you are free to rename the receptacles as you please.
In summary, this outdoor smart plug works exactly as promised as long as you remain within the Alexa ecosytem of smart devices.

Initial setup was easy, following the enclosed instructions and using the Alexa app on my iPhone. It did take longer than normal for the App to recognize it compared to my previous experiences with other Smart Plugs, but after a while it connected successfully.
My biggest issues were after the initial setup. The Plug has 2 outlets and for some reason the Alexa app stopped being able to control 1 of them, telling me it was unresponsive! Since 99% of the times I use the Alexa app to control the plug it became very annoying. I searched for a solution online and ended up having to remove it from the App, resetting the plug itself to its initial state and than added it to the Alexa app again. It seems to have solve to issue for now but it was still more troublesome than any other Smart Plug I had tried before. I've been using it for a few months now; during the Summer with lots of Sun and heat and more recently with colder temperatures and rain and it has been working fine.
I did not remove the plug from my Alexa system when we took down the lights and put everything away for the year. I just disabled the plug and the routines in the app. I was pleasantly surprised when we setup our outdoor lights this year. I didn't have to re-pair the plug with my system, my Alexa system remembered the plug. I had changed my WiFi credentials in the past year, but Alexa just gave me a popup in the phone app allowing me to just select/confirm that I wanted the plug to connect to the selected network. My WiFi passwords are saved to Amazon so I didn't have to enter anything, it was just selection/confirmation.
Really simple.
