Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Timer, Max Load 15A/1875W, IP64 Weather Resistance, Compatible with Alexa, Google Home & SmartThings, No Hub Required, ETL Certified(KP401)

I own a number of Kasa products (like bulbs and smart plugs) and they've worked out well for me. They've been a great value, for some very useful applications. This Kasa Outdoor Plug is also working very well. It's easy to use on my network and with the app. My only small issue with the product is the rigid 90 degree plug, which prevents two Smart Plugs from easily being used in one outlet. (For example, for two different strings of lights that you want to time differently, like Christmas lights and patio lights.) The 90 degree plug is probably fine if you're using just one, or need it to fit behind a cabinet or something. But as this is a 3-prong outlet, both plugs would need to be oriented the same way in the outlet, and that's not possible. So I need to add another short extension to use both Smart Plugs. A plug that came straight out from the outlet would avoid that. (I'm a huge fan of 90 degree plug designs for indoor use, it is so often helpful.) Anyway, if you're planning to put two in one outlet, plan ahead and get a short extension as well. I like that this is designed to go up to 15 amps. Though I doubt I'll ever use it for high-wattage loads, it's a good safety measure, in case someone who doesn't know plugs something into this Smart Plug. Having good wi-fi network coverage surely helps, though with the small amount of data infrequently transmitted they work well over reasonably long distances. I make a point of attaching all smart devices to the guest network for security reasons.

I’m loving this plug so far, I have it outside connected to a string of little lights on my patio and it’s working good! It’s a replacement for the first one I ordered that I couldn’t get to complete setup. I tried many times over 2 days and chatted with Kasa support before deciding it was defective and returned it for a replacement, which came fast and setup worked fine. I have multiple Kasa mini plugs already and have been very happy with them. I can control the new outdoor plug, and all my mini plugs, on my phone in my Alexa app (or the Kasa app) all easy enough, and by voice with Alexa devices. It’s so much easier than having to go out and reach behind chairs to plug in and out my lights. I’d almost just bought a timer to connect the lights to before wondering if Kasa had a plug meant for outdoors and I’m so glad I did, and it works great! Thank you Kasa and Amazon for the fast and easy response and replacement of the first one!

This smart plug has been a game changer for our “party lights” on the screened-in porch. We can set timers, turn the lights on and off remotely, and never have to worry about resetting a traditional timer if the power goes out. Setup with Alexa was quick and easy, and it’s been working flawlessly ever since. The app is straightforward, the connection has been solid, and the weather-resistant design gives peace of mind outdoors. Overall, it’s reliable, convenient, and exactly what we needed. Highly recommended if you want simple smart control for your outdoor lights or other devices!

Tired of having to adjust timers based on sun up/sun down, daylight savings time, or sensors that just don't seem to work all that well? It is time to give up the old way of connecting outdoor lights and using something better, and this is that something. Sure there are other brands out there that cost considerably more, but they don't do anything more than this does. And while you can find "timers" that cost less, they do far less and are far less reliable. The pairing process is braindead simple and doesn't require a separate hub. From there it is one simple step to add it to Alexa or Google Home. You can then do things like set them to go on at "sunset" and just forget about it, no need to adjust for DST or changing daylight hours. Of course, if you do want to override it for some reason, you can simply tell Alexa (or Google) to just turn it on. Or if you don't happen to have your phone on you, or aren't near your assistant, there is a button to tap to turn it on. The casing is solid and well made, durable and feels substantial, and has survived through summer and winter weather and continued to work without issue. Stop messing with inferior product, and certainly don't overpay when you don't need to do so, this Kasa version is everything you need. I have both the single outlet and double outlet (which gives each outlet a separate id so they can be turned on or off individually if you so choose), and both are superior products and well worth the price asked for them.

Product: Kasa / TP-Link Outdoor Smart Plug, single outlet, model KP401 Gist: overall I like it and would get it again although I'd actually get the one with 2 plugs instead Good: Kasa Smart app works good, the Kasa/TP-Link products are good quality and good function with the Kasa App or the Alexa App and Echo devices, actual setup of the plug was very simple and easy - just select it in the Kasa app and then go into Alexa and it already has it ready to go without even doing anything. Not so good: you have to have the Kasa Smart App on your phone, you need a username and password, the unit is not waterproof - it is weather proof - that means no direct water contact I'm pretty sure. It is designed to be plugged into the outlet and for the unit to hang down by the cord about 7 inches with the actual socket facing the bottom. That way rain will not enter, just run off the sides. Just keep that in mind when determining if this style plug will fit into your scenario. Details: My first smart plug was a Kasa/TP-Link product that I purchased off Amazon in 2017 and in 2024 it is still operating perfectly with Alexa/Echo so I expect this item will also last a few years. Since I already had a Kasa account setup in 2017 all I had to do was login and add this new device. Well, I haven't accessed that account since 2017 and haven't had the Kasa app on my phones since then either. I've just been using the Echo devices to control my Kasa devices ever since initial setup years ago. So here is the process for me to setup this device: First: Like most smart devices you need the 2.4 GHZ band of your internet router to be active along with the 5 GHZ all the time. 1. download the Kasa Smart App onto my phone (I ditched Apple so I use the Android version now) 2. open the Kasa App - it will want a login before anything else can be done. If you have an existing account and don't know your username or password then just click recover option and it will send a link to your email it has on file. Use the link to reset the password. I actually had my password written down but I think since its been years since I logged in it was disabled and that's why I had to do the reset. 3. After you login to the app, just click the plus sign for add device and scroll through the types to select your Outdoor Plug and then the KP401. 4. Assign a group or routine in the Kasa App if you want 5. Once you're done with the Kasa app if you go into the Alexa app it should be already setup and ready to use. I didn't give it 5 stars because everything can always be better and I think the amount of cord this hangs by should be shorter. For some reason they didn't think so. It works well but looks a little clunky in my patio scenario.

I love these for Xmas lights. No more plugin in and out daily! Now all turns on daily on a timer and turns off automatically!

I've purchased a few of these over the years to manage outdoor lights at my house and my AirBnB. They are super easy to connect to with the Kasa app and I can easily schedule variable times like 30 minutes before or after sunset to turn lights on dynamically and then have them turn off at midnight. It saves me the hassle of manually setting timers as I can do it from the phone and with one click I can easily turn lights off and on manually from my phone. Saves on electricity. Have had no failures or issues. Response is instantaneous when I turn on or off with the app.

I recently purchased the 2 Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug and have been extremely happy with it! I’m using it primarily for my outdoor string lights, and it has completely elevated my setup. The installation was super easy . I had it connected and running in just a few minutes. I love that it is Alexa enabled, so I can turn my lights on and off with simple voice commands or through the app without having to step outside. Beyond lighting, I’ve also started using it for my holiday decorations, and the ability to schedule them automatically has been a game-changer. The build feels sturdy and weather-resistant, which gives me confidence it will last through the seasons, even during rain or snow. The dual outlets allow me to control two separate devices independently, which adds a lot of flexibility to my setup. The Kasa app is intuitive and provides options like timers, schedules, and remote access, which makes managing my outdoor spaces effortless. Overall, I highly recommend the Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug for anyone looking to add convenience, automation, and smart control to their outdoor spaces! It truly transforms how you manage your garden lights, seasonal décor, and other outdoor electronics.

Cette minuterie intelligente fait très bien le travail. Elle a passé tout l’hiver à l’extérieur sans aucun problème et fonctionne sans faille

Muy buen producto

Love these plugs, I have set up in my home 3 switches and 3 plus with the Kasa app. Easy to use, quick set up and a very logical method to set up schedules. Automatically adjusts for sunrise/sunset and Daylight Savings time changes. The dimming feature works well too. Highly recommend.

I use this smart plug to control my PC remotely through my phone, and it has worked reliably so far. It integrates well with Home Assistant, allowing me to set up automation to turn my PC on or off when needed. The form factor is particularly useful because the compact design doesn’t interfere with cable management under my desk. Overall, it’s been a practical addition to my setup, and I’ve had no major issues with it.
