Easy Setup and Great Results So Far
I needed something to set up my Christmas lights outside and pre lit tree and vintage blow molds inside on timers given that I am rarely home before 5 pm weekdays. Did a bit of research and bought two of these. Was a bit skeptical given some reviews. I found the download of app and set up and pairing of both devices with WiFi quite easy. Both working great so far. The app allows robust specifications for timing which is quite impressive. I am happy coming home each evening with my house lit up for the season!

The best timer we found!
We search and searched for a timer that we could schedule to turn on and off at different times on different days and this is the only one that fit our needs. Easy to schedule, great price and works to the second. Don’t know why people didn’t rate it better. We almost didn’t get it, but went ahead and tried it. We love it. And it has an app for your phone! Perfect!!!

reliable timer
The HBN exterior plug worked fine for a few months then started blinking every time I turned it on. Re-starting, deleting and re-loading, etc. did not work. Initially I thought it was the timer’s fault, but I just figured out it was not the timer, but faulty wiring, so I am upgrading my review…

Works well but no instructions and difficult to connect.
The wifi outlet plug does not come with any instructions. I did not have any luck setting it up in the location that I wanted to use it. I needed to first bring it inside near the router, and refer to the product description for instructions on how to connect it to the internet. After several attempts I finally go it to connect. after getting it to connect, I was able to take it to the location I wanted to use in and get it to work. It does appear to be built well and the button on it for turning it on and off outdoors appears to work well.

Easy setup – works with Smart Life app and Alexa
The plug was very easy to setup in the Smart Life app. I like that you can control each plug individually, unlike some smart plugs. Works with Amazon Alexa voice commands as well. Perfect for controlling outdoor Christmas lights.

Ready to simplify your Christmas Lights?
Best thing I have purchased. Plugged in to the outlet for my Christmas Lights. All we have to do now is say “Alexa turn on the Christmas Lights” Easy to install when I purchase.

Smart Plugins Are the Way To Go!
Last Christmas I had the old “dial” like timers for my Christmas lights. It would drive me crazy that half of the lights would come on for a period of time before the others finally came on. You can’t get an exact time with that type of timer. So last year we switched to this Outdoor Smart WiFi Plug controlled by an app on my phone. I absolutely love the ability to set a timer for both of my lights to come on and off at the same time. Also with an app you can set different times for different days which is helpful if you want your lights to remain on longer during the weekends but shut off sooner on weekdays. Or if you like your lights to come on in the morning but shut off when it gets light out and then on again at night. The timer works with different “smart” apps which is great if you are already using one. I use Smart Life to control all the smart plugins in my home, it was perfect that I could connect this with the same app so I can control all my lights from one app.I did have some trouble connecting it as I almost always d0 and had to use the manual mode vs the automatic pairing. It took me a couple of tries before I finally got it to connect so that was a little frustrating but I have found this same issue with almost any plug I purchase (maybe it is the app, not the plug).I ended up packing my outdoor timer away with my Christmas decorations last year so when I needed one for my Halloween decorations I went ahead and purchased the same timer from last year as I knew it would work great. I am able to have my blowup decoration come on at 5:30 and shut off at 11:00 pm all from my app. It has worked perfectly so far this year.Pros:**Easy scheduling from your phone**Can set up different times and days, very flexible**Weatherproof works great mine has gone through many rainy days**Works with different smart apps

Works on 2.4/5ghz mixed network after workaround
I have a Linksys Velop mesh network which works on a 2.4ghz/5ghz mixed network. I have Kasa smart plugs which are compatible with 2.4ghz only and it was a snap to set those up. I would have stuck with Kasa except they don’t make a 3-plug smart outlet (yet), so I went with this HBN one.Trying to get the app to detect this smart plug went absolutely nowhere and according to the directions, my mixed network was not compatible. I had a feeling if I could get it at least added into the app, it would work fine from there. I had an old 2.4ghz router sitting around, so I unplugged my Velop, setup this old router with the same network name and password as the Velop. That was not enough. I also needed the router to have Internet connectivity, which makes no sense to me, but I put it on a different subnet and plugged it into my LAN.Once my phone with app installed was connected to the old router wifi with Internet connectivity, I scanned for new devices and it found nothing. I added it in manually, and the app finally found this stupid plug. I configured it in the app, then unplugged the old router and threw it back in the junk drawer. Plugged in the Velop and as predicted, this outlet connects just fine on a mixed network. Unplugged and plugged back in again several times to confirm.2 stars off for this annoying, unnecessary setup. Other smart plugs like Kasa do this soooooo much better. Also, Kasa automatically gives you the network status of any wifi devices. This doesn’t give any information unless you run a test. It looks like it’s connected, but it just doesn’t respond in the app. Again, terrible, unintuitive design.This is a 2.5 star product, but I round up to 3 stars because in the end I was able to workaround the lousy engineering and make it do what I want.

Set up fairly quickly, set timer on the app really easily and works as intended. So far so good :)Price was better than even the basic timers locally!

Was easy to set up on wifi, works like a charm! Only thing I found is if the wifi is down the lights won’t turn on or off with the scheduled time.

I have no idea what people are complaining about these being difficult to set up or impossible to sync. It took me 5mins to set up 4 plugs and sync them set the timers. Just followed the instructions and it was so easy. All my lights now turn on and off at certain times on different days of the week. I absolutely love this product and I’m definitely buying more.
