Okay, so I finally caved and got this meross outdoor smart plug for my patio lights, and wow - why didn't I do this sooner?!
The setup was surprisingly easy (though I did have that moment where I forgot to switch my phone to the device's WiFi during setup - rookie mistake!). Now I'm out here feeling like Tony Stark saying 'Alexa, patio lights on' while pulling into my driveway.
What's awesome:
- The waterproof design has survived two crazy rainstorms already
- Being able to control each outlet separately is clutch for my string lights vs. fountain
- The sunset/sunrise scheduling means my lights come on exactly when needed
Minor gripes:
- The plastic casing feels a bit cheap for the price
- It's bulkier than expected - had to rearrange some cords
Pro tip: If your WiFi signal is weak outside (like mine was), grab an extender. Fixed all my random disconnection issues.
After 3 months of daily use through all kinds of weather, this thing hasn't missed a beat. Total game-changer for outdoor lighting control!
