Good product, but the plug prevents using two in one outlet, so you may need an extension
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.

Perfect for Our Porch Lights – Easy to Use and Reliable
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!

Kasa Good
Product: Kasa / TP-Link Outdoor Smart Plug, single outlet, model KP401Gist: overall I like it and would get it again although I’d actually get the one with 2 plugs insteadGood: 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 want5. 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.

Easy setup. Works great!
Easy to set up and super convenient. I purchased this to control a bird bath heater in the winter. Im sure I’ll find other good uses for it.
