No Customer Service – But Great Product
This is the second Wion outdoor plug I purchased. Over 1 year ago the first one installed with out a hitch and works great. The timer function (dusk to dawn with 20 minute offsets) is easy to set up. The distance it receives the wifi signal is impressive – it is mounted on my dock and easily picks up the WIFI signal from the house more than 100 feet away.The second one was a nightmare to set up. First I had the problem with naming the plug with a name longer the 5 characters. Thanks to all the Amazon reviews I figured that out. Next I used different amazon account for each plug because I forgot which account I used on the first plug 1 year ago. Even with that mistake, the WION app found both plugs but Alexa could only find one plug.The fix was easy, put both plugs on the same amazon account in the WION app. Next I disabled the WION skill in the Alexa App, then I re-enabled the skill and signed on to the Amazon account. Then Alexa was able to find both plugs.I normally would not give 5 stars to something with such limited customer support – but these are well engineered and easy to set up if you don’t use a name longer than 5 characters and make the mistake of using two different amazon accounts.I have smart home devices from Leviton, iHome, Insignia(Best Buy), Amazon brand, Ecobee, and others. I think these plugs are some of the best designed, best operating and easy to install.Its too bad the traps in setup are only documented in Amazon reviews …

* Easy to connect to wi-fi * Has a variety of …
This review is for the Wi-FI version of the outlet, NOT the standard “remote control” (non-Wi-Fi) version. An outstanding product. Unboxed, plugged in, connected to wi-fi, and was using the app on my phone in about ten minutes.Pros:* Easy to connect to wi-fi* Has a variety of settings that are easily accessed through the app on my iPhone: Programmable Timer, Countdown Timer, Astronomic Timer, Vacation Random, and Security Random. The Programmable Timer (a multi-day timer) is easy to set and adjust.* You can give a custom name to the device(s) that you are controlling. I called mine “icicle lights”.* Has two outlets. It’s worth noting that the two outlets can not be controlled independently. Whatever settings you use for one outlet have to be used for the second outlet.* Has a simple on/off “switch” on the app so I can easily override the programmed settings.* A good value for the cost.Cons:* Haven’t found any so far.Setup:* MY WiOn 50049 Outdoor Wi-Fi Outlet (2 outlets), is connected to an Airport Extreme router. The WiOn app is installed on my iPhone 6s. Works very nicely. Used to connect my icicle lights to my wi-fi network. No more having to go up and down the stairs to turn them on and off or fiddling with a clunky digital timer or reprogramming the timer when the power goes out. One thing to note: When the app “searches for the router”, it can take a few minutes for it to find it, depending on the speed of your mobile device.

Very well made product. Easy to set up.
Bought my outdoor connector 2 years ago. It controls my 100+ feet of outdoor Christmas lightening and decorations for almost 2 month of the year (late November to early January). It Works flawlessly. This year I was surprised that after being disconnected and stored away with the decoration; the unit was able to reconnect to the home wireless network without me reconfiguring it. I plugged in the outlet, it blink rapidly like searching for the wireless SSID and connected without a problem. I like the application too. I have it installed on my IPhone and IPad devices. I find it to be user friendly and very flexible with the editing and scheduling of events. I also own one of their light switches which I used to control my front porch lighting. I have been using the switch every day for almost 3 years. It has lost connection to the home wireless 2 times, due to prolonged power outage in my nations capital city. To reconnect it to the home wireless, I just pressed the reset button in the unit with a toothpick, the unit blinks blue for a few it then stops blinking and the light becomes a solid blue indicating that the unit is connected to the home Wi-Fi.It is a well made product. I will buy it again and recommen it. NOone has payed/given me anything for my comment.
