I’m extremely happy with KASA brand! Great value, easy to use!

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024

I recently had a couple outlets put in under the eves of my house so I could put heat tape up in areas where we had trouble previously. They were not switched though and I’m not usually at this house so I got these to plug the heat tape into so that I could leave the breakers on all the time for other items like KASA outdoor security cameras.
These plug outlets are awesome! You can use them in your KASA app and they’re easy to set up if you can follow simple instructions. I set them up inside the house where the WiFi signal was good and where I didn’t have to be on a ladder. Once set up you can just unplug them and put them where you need them.
The app is very user friendly. You can turn these on and off remotely, set them on schedule (like for patio lighting, etc.) so they come on at a set time or at sunset which is nice since the days get longer or shorter.
For the heat tape I have the smart action set up so that when I turn them on they will automatically turn off after 4 hours. I did that so I don’t forget and leave them on constantly.
If you’re into smart home tech but aren’t made of money I highly recommend KASA brand. I currently have 30 KASA devices (switches, plugs, outlets and cameras) running in my app. Some are at work, some where I reside and some at the in-laws. I also have the dual plug version of this.
These are a great value!

Kasa Outdoor Smart Dimmer Plug, That apparently has no dimming capabilities outside the app..

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2024

The ad for the outlet shows a woman telling Alexa to dim the lights, which was one of the features we were looking for in a smart outlet. However, this outlet does not have apparently have dimming capabilities outside of it's app. Alexa can turn the lights on and off, turn them on and off with a timer but that's it. When Alexa is told to set the outlet to 60% (as in the advertisement for the outlet), Alexa tells us the plug does not support that.
So if your looking for a dimmer that really works with Alexa this may not be what your looking for.
Love everything else about it, and setup was easy, just wish I did not have to get out my phone to adjust it's output power, as shown in the Kasa Ad.

The Smart Plug is very easy to install. The WiFi connection works great. The Smart Plug easily connects to Google Home. If you purchase a 2 outlet Kasa plug, you can have 2 separate devices connected to your smart home and manage them independently.

Works great for string lights. Thought it was causing a GFCI tripping problem - guess not

Below is my 3 star rating which I'm changing to 4 stars now that I've done some more investigating. I thought rain was getting into the TPLink plug and causing the GFCI to trip - but I found out it was where the lights plugged into an extension cord. I removed the TPLink plug from the outlet and plugged the extension cord directly into the GFCI outlet and it tripped. Hmm. Guess the TPLink wasn't the problem. It turns out there was water in the extension cord plug from a heavy rain. That must have been the issue with my first TPLink plug also. So, if your GFCI plug keeps tripping and you're using an extension cord, check the female end of the extension cord and see if there is some water in it. I'm going to wait for it to dry completely and then use electrical tape to keep water out of the connection. For some reason there is still some current going through the string lights even when the lights are off which is why the 4 star rating rather than 5.

Original review when I thought the TPLink plug was causing the GFCI to trip:

This is my second purchase of this 2 plug unit. I use it to remotely control some string lights. It was easy to setup and has good wifi range. It responds almost immediately using Alexa. I have a schedule so the lights turn on at dusk and turn off at 10:00 PM. That's the good - now the bad. I turned off the lights using Alexa and replaced a broken bulb - and got shocked while doing so. Power was obviously still flowing even thought it was supposed to be off. I also noticed that the lights wouldn't turn off all the way - they would glow faintly. The GFCI would trip frequently as would the breaker in the fuse box. I figured I had a bad plug and bought another. It has been working fine for the most part, but the GFCI breaker would intermittently trip with it also. I replaced the GFCI outlet. No help. It had been working fine for the last few weeks until we had a lot of rain the last two days. It has now begun tripping the GFCI outlet again and the breaker in the fuse box. It says it's waterproof but obviously isn't. I'm going to get rid of it and try a different brand. Too bad because I really like it when it works.

A GREAT PRODUCT

Style: Dimmer 1-SocketVerified Purchase

This is my 8th KASA device, and I have slowly moved all my other home control devices to KASA.

It's exceptionally easy to set-up, and conforms to a protocol that many others are now using. The programming and control with the APP is super intuitive. But in addition, it's a very needed device: it's OUTDOOR, and even DIMMABLE. AND.. it's reasonably priced compared to many others trying to do the same thing. KASA works. It never "loses itself" or asks me to log in again, or any of the things many of the other systems have done. Good job KASA.

Had it for a few years. Plug works great but it no longer connects to the WiFi. Have it mounted to the patio roof with 2 sets of string lights plugged in. Now we have to manually turn the lights on and off, first world problems.

These smart plugs are perfect for my porch lights and my seasonal Christmas lights. Can be used indoors and outdoors. The app is easy to use and setup. I could conveniently setup my lights on a schedule and adjust the schedule easily. The app is scalable to add multiple plugs together. I got 2 of these.

Fantastic Outdoor Plug

Bought one two years ago for my deck and needed another for an external garage. They work flawlessly. I have yet to have one drop wifi and when the wifi does go out, they pick it up immediately when the wifi comes back on unlike some other indoor plugs I have. Very easy to add to the network.

Style: Dimmer 1-SocketVerified Purchase

This was my first Kasa purchase. I am using this to replace a Zwave dimmer plug I've used for years. The Zwave system I have is going to start charging for Alexa and Google integration. I hooked this up to a floor lamp that has four LED bulbs. Kasa does not have an indoor dimmer plug but this one was advertised as being a dimmer. The dimmer function seems to be a bit lacking. I have this set up to automatically turn on in the wee hours of the morning so I can come into my living room and not be blinded by the light. The range of slowly ramping up the brightness works but not as well as the other plug. I may be able to tweak it but I can live with what it's doing now. Perhaps I can integrate four Kasa bulbs into this floor lamp? I will be getting at least two more of these plugs for use on outdoor sidewalk lights I have on the zwave system right now.

Another great Kasa product. We've got Kasa light bulbs, switches, and plugs and they all work as they should.

This outdoor dimmer plug is great. We got some of those outdoor string lights from a local home store. The light strands were quite bright and weren't marketed as dimmable, but we figured we'd see if a dimmer would work. This Kasa plug worked perfectly, no flicker and we can dim down very low or go full blast as needed. Love the dimmer calibrating so you can set limits for whatever you're dimming.

Most affordable way to get dimmable string lights, thank you Kasa!
