These worked awesome this year for Christmas Lights! We plugged them in and set them up to come on and go off at specific times, but it was also great to be able to turn them on and off with our voice and Google Home/Alexa. Great product. Had been waiting on this a LONG time. I would definitely recommend if you use WEMO. I do know there is another manufacturer who has a product similar that also has a daylight sensor (may be Wayze) that may be better if you aren't in the WEMO ecosystem.

I purchased this to schedule my Christmas Lights to turn on and off automatically. It works perfectly. Setup was pretty easy. Scheduling took me a moment to figure out, but was still fairly easy to set a schedule for it. It's regular price might be a bit steep ($39.99), but it works very well. Luckily for me, I purchased it when it was a Best Buy Deal of the Day.

Provides me with smart access to my external lights without issue. The convenience of being able to label each port, plus the entire device is nice, but it creates some confusion. You are provided an independent name for the entire unit, as well as each plug. Handy to control two different items, or both at the same time.

We purchased the Wemo WiFi Smart Outdoor Plug last year and utilized them for our Christmas lights. They work perfectly. They work with Google and HomeKit, which is one of the reason we purchased them. We are purchasing more this year to expand. I highly recommend them.

Very cool product as it allows you to set timers on outdoor lights and other electrical products. It is a little challenging to set up though and requires troubleshooting at times.

Works exactly as advertised. Setup can be a bit frustrating, and if your using it outside and your patio sort is shut, it may have some connection issues, but other than that I have no major complaints.

Great outdoor extension for my Wemo controlled home. I’ve got tons of smart plugs in my home so when I needed one for outside, this was the ticket. Yes it has two outlets that can’t be controlled separately but it’s not a deal breaker.

I use another brand of smart plugs indoors and was a bit skeptical to add another brand, but I’m very glad I tried it! The WeMo plug is very attractive and fits fight in outdoors. It has a nice spot to screw it down for better security and the HomeKit set up was seamless.

Used it for Christmas lights outside this year. Worked as expected. No issues. Set up timer in the Wemo app. I can probably repurpose for indoor use until next Christimas but haven't done that yet. I have other Wemo indoor plugs and they have worked great.

Good quality outdoor plug, spotty WeMo service

I bought this outdoor smart plug to work with my other WeMo devices, and setting it up was much easier than some older plugs. It feels solid and durable for outdoor use, and really comes in handy for managing lights or equipment like holiday decorations. My only problem with it so far is the reliability of the WeMo service, which has had some bugs and downtime lately. It can be spotty and lead to not having any control of any WeMo devices, although rules and schedule still seems to work if you've already set it up.

Good outdoor smart plug. We use it to turn our outdoor blowup decorations on and off. We used to use an indoor Wemo smart switch for the decorations on our covered porch, but this works better and it has two outlets.
We have at least a dozen Wemo smart plugs, and almost the same number of Wemo wall switches. The products are well made and I believe better supported than no- name Chinese stuff being sold on Amazon. If I’m going to wire in a switch or plug something in to a wall outlet, I want to make sure that the devices have passed federal safety guidelines and approvals so they won’t melt down and cause a fire. There is a place for cheap Chinese products, but not for something that could cause you to lose your life or your house.

This WeMo outdoor plug is great for our Christmas lights and decorations. I can turn them off and on sitting in my house or set a timer for them, which is great when you are out of town.

So far so good. Outdoors in rain through 2020-21 Christmas and New Year's! Would be better if you could control each outlet separately, but I ask for too much. Got it on sale at Best Buy!!!!

These are good when they work. Just wish they would work on 5GHz wireless, not just 2.4GHz.
