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 Only, ETL Certified (EP40A)

This outdoor smart plug has worked really well for my patio setup. The two sockets are independently controlled, which is perfect for managing multiple devices like string lights and a fan. Setup was quick using the Kasa app, and it integrates smoothly with Apple HomeKit, Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant. The weather resistance has held up through rain and dust, and the Wi-Fi range is strong enough to reach from the deck. It’s a solid choice for anyone looking to automate outdoor electronics with voice or app control.

Perfect switch for multiple pieces of equipment. I use mine with a battery charger and engine block heater all winter long and worked flawlessly. I thought the heater resistance would have burnt it up but it’s still working great.

So I have had a few smart switches in the past and once my internet was upgraded, they no longer worked. I decided to try this one with Apple HomeKit. The good news is that the outlet did connect to my wifi network and works with HomeKit, but ONLY if I am on my wifi network, not on cellular (so can't control the switch from work, for example). I discovered that an Apple HomeKit hub's necessary for that feature. Disappointed. Not to be deterred, I downloaded the Kasa App and set up was straight forward. So I am able to connect via the Kasa App while on the cellular network. For now this will, do although it is becoming obvious to me that a home/smart hub is probably a better choice in the future to control more products from one central app. I'm satisfied with this and will report back any connectivity or other issues that might arise.

I recently hung outdoor lights in our backyard and wanted a way to switch them on/off remotely, rather than it being a timer. The Kasa interface allows me to do that and with this outdoor smart plug, I can seamlessly control my indoor and outdoor lights with my phone. I think the price is fair for what it does. I've used it for a couple of months now outside in the FL humidity and I haven't had any issues so it certainly is weather resistant. Highlights: - Easy to use interface/app - Easy to install Lowlights: -none Overall, I highly recommend this if you do Christmas lights or have anything that needs electricity outdoor. It's easy to use and control

I intended to use this to control an outdoor water feature. The device was easy to set up and works flawlessly. Integrates with HomeKit easily. What’s the one flaw? My outdoor outlets are in recessed “waterproof” boxes. The 90 degree angle of the plug made it impossible to use if I wanted to use the second plug (which I do). It’s nice if you want it to hang straight down from an outlet, but in my case it became unusable for the original intent.

I have been using the EP40 model for several years, which is nearly identical to this model except for the absence of Apple HomeKit support. When I needed a similar outlet for my garage, I was excited to try this HomeKit version. While I cannot specifically comment on its durability against weather (as it remains indoors in my garage), I can confidently recommend all other aspects of this device. It boasts a sturdy construction, features convenient manual controls on the device itself, and has proven to be 100% reliable within the HomeKit ecosystem. Even during events like router reboots or power outages, the device consistently reconnects without any issues and operates flawlessly. With its high-quality materials, reliable performance within HomeKit, and its consistent ability to turn on/off as expected and its excellent price point, I wholeheartedly recommend it! Another great product by TP-Link/Kasa!

DO NOT BUY! I read many reviews about how good Kasa products were and that this “worked” with Apple HomeKit. I use Apple HomeKit and have around 35 accessories connected to it from many different manufactures. Most were easy to set up and some just appeared in HomeKit. When I received the Kasa Outdoor wifi plug (EP40A), I was disappointed to see that it was tp-link product. I had previously purchased a tp-link wifi range extender which was difficult to set up. I thought just my experience with the wifi extender was one time issue. WRONG! I down loaded the Kasa app and installed the outdoor plug and then tried connect each outlet to Apple HomeKit. In the Kasa app I selected the outlet I wanted to connect to HomeKit and then selected Home icon which brought up a window to read the QR code on the box or in the instructions. Did not work with either my iPhone or iPad. I reset the plug as per instructions many times and that the same result. I also tried using the Apple Home app to add the plug to HomeKit with both my iPhone and iPad with the same negative results. I called “Customer Service” ???? , I got someone who could hardly speak English and was of no help. He could find information on the plug after I gave him the model number. I asked him for the eight digit HomeKit code that the QR code generates. DO NOT BUY! Kasa misrepresents its products! I will never buy from then again. JUNK! ‘

Once you're happy about a particular brand product that, eg turns lights on and off remotely with a scheduled on/off option, stick with it! I was fortunate to make my way to Kasa plug products after being disappointed with 2 other brands, and I've since expanded the Kasa "network" throughout my house. Having it be combined with TP-Link Tapo was even better! Super easy to connect to home wifi, decent range both inside and outside, nice double outdoor weatherproof plugs (I think I now have 5 - I grab them whenever they go on sale!). As an iPhone user, it's also convenient to turn lights on and off by swiping right from the lock screen and opening the Tapo widget (which I often do especially when Alexa doesn't turn my nightstand light off). I have a dozen indoor plugs maybe? and a couple powerstrips. I even swapped out a dimmer switch because my wife a) can never figure out how to dim her overhead home office lights, and b) always forgets to turn them off. (full disclosure: I had my electrician install it because I'm not crazy about dying over something stupid)

El dispositivo funciona perfectamente. Configurarlo fue fácil y no hay nada como tener el control de los enchufes incluso estando fuera de casa. Ubiqué el dispositivo en el exterior para el encendido de dos guirnaldas de bombillas en mi jardín. Al momento ya ha soportado varios aguaceros y confío que durará el tiempo establecido en la garantía e incluso más, dada la calidad de los materiales, así como las características de mi instalación, que es propia para exteriores.

Lo ocupo para una bomba hidráulica en la azotea, para prenderla en ocasiones específicas y ha funcionado de maravilla, son 2 saludas, es muy fácil de configurar y la manejo tanto por la app como con alexa

Lo compre para encender una bomba de agua que se encuentra fuera de la casa, la casa no tiene instalación para automático, así que esta fue la solución, la bomba de 1/2 HP, así que ha trabajado sin ningún problema, lo integré con homekit de apple, así que le puedes pedir a siri que lo encienda, con la aplicación de kasa puedes programar para que se encienda y apague en los horarios que desees, entre otras útiles funciones, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Anteriormente he adquirido mucho componentes de la marca Kasa Smart de Tp-Link y son tope de calidad. No he tenido problemas, son fáciles de configurar y muy fiables. Éste producto es ideal para exteriores, lo utilizo para automatizar un riego de lujo.

Después de instalar repetidores wifi TP-LINK me y gracias a la sugerencia en Amazon se este contacto, comencé instalandolo en la pecera en la que controlo la iluminación de la misma, 20 años atrás los temporizadores con respaldo de baterías era una opción. La tecnología avanza para bien y tener conectados este tipo de contactoa inteligentes te hacen instalar en los lugares menos pensandos y que controlas directamente desde tu teléfono móvil tanto para encender como apagar. Excelente opción para el control de ciertos equipos y/o luces desde la comodidad de tu teléfono y a distancia. El contacto se recomienda solo
