I use this device to control my outdoor landscape lighting. I have a lot of Lutron Caseta in the house and this fit into my smart home system very nicely. It was added quickly to my Lutron app. I use the Lutron app to control all my outdoor lighting on a schedule related to sunrise and sunset. I don't integrate it to Alexa because there is no need to control the lights from the Alexa app, but it would be easy to add just like my other Caseta devices. There are two impressive things about this device. First it is well built and would seem to last a long time in an outdoor environment. Second is the range. It is not a WiFi device, it uses a 900Mhz frequency that has better penetration abilities than a 2.4Ghz signal. At first I thought I would have to install this device on the outside of the house between the outlet and the 12V transformer. But I realized that it would fit INSIDE the door on the transformer (I use a 150W transformer by Volt and it is 100% stainless steel enclosure). This made the installation much simpler and secured the device inside the transformer which you can lock. My Lutron hub is in a closet. There are 4 internal walls, a brick exterior wall and a full stainless enclosure around the switch and it works great. That is about 40 feet between the hub and the switch. I also tried it to an outlet in the backyard, even further from the hub and maybe one more wall and it still worked. Yes this switch is relatively expensive. But all the Lutron Caseta hardware I have bought is top quality. It is reliable, and I'm not sending a command through some server halfway around the world to turn my lights on/off. This syncs my landscape lighting with my porch light and garage sconces. They turn on and off at the same time and I didn't need to add another system into my smart house. I removed all my WiFi connected devices out of my house, so I was happy to see Lutron release this. I bought a 2nd unit for the backyard.

This was a present to myself . I was tired of fiddling with the old clock with the plastic pieces adjusting the time for my low voltage lighting system on my deck and in my yard. I had to get out a ladder, go under the deck, etc. It was getting old fast. This showed up in an email from the manufacturer and low and behold I found it here. It was sold out at the big box store. I could not have been happier. Took all of 5 minutes to take off the old click , plug this one in, and connect to the app. Hubby was super impressed with the ease of use. Now if we could only them to reduce the pricing!

I bought this for outside holiday decorations, and it works great. It’s a little on the pricey side, but it will last a lifetime.

This smart plug is easy to set up and integrate with your Lutron system. The weatherproof design makes it perfect for outdoor use, and the black finish gives it a sleek and modern look. The smart hub compatibility allows you to control the plug with Alexa, Google Assistant, Ring, and Apple HomeKit. The 360° swivel makes it easy to plug in and remove cords from any angle. This smart plug is versatile and can be used for landscape and string lighting. Overall, I would highly recommend this smart plug to anyone looking for a durable, high-quality, and versatile option for their outdoor lighting.

Here is the bottom line this outdoor plug is expensive, built like an absolute tank and will always stay connected to the hub so what are you exactly paying for then? Easy... quality. What sets Lutron apart and why you are paying a premium is the build quality and Clear Connect RF, Lutrons proprietary communication technology that runs on 434mhz and why does that matter? Glad you asked the lower the frequency the further it can go through thick walls and open air meaning you can have these outside and not need to worry if they will connect. Also basically nothing uses 434mhz anymore so nothing is going to intefere with the signal, your wifi won't, your ZigBee won't and your z-wave won't. Basically the only thing that still uses 434 are old garage door opener remotes and only in a real short busy and very infrequent. In my 1930's house that is double bricked with Lath and Plaster walls Lutron devices have zero issues connecting and staying connected. All the wifi, ZigBee and zwave alternatives I tried would sometimes go offline. So if you already got a Lutron Hub and never want to deal with any issues with whatever you plug into this thing this is the product for you

I used it to turn outside Holiday lights on and off.

I love Lutron Caseta products, and so I was excited when this outdoor plug was released. It is very sturdy and has long enough leads that it can be easily dangled out of a

I could not rate the Alexa use as I am an App biggot, but like the the rest of the Caséta system it works perfectly with Siri so it should work with Alexa as well. Installation was simple. Plug it into an standard US duplex outlet. Plug the load into the other connection on the device. That is all. You can then press the waterproof button to turn the device on and off. To activate the remote function, open the app on your phone. Click the dropdown to reach add the device option. Select the device and follow the instructions on the phone. When you have completed all steps as instructed. You can turn on and off your device with the app on your cell phone. In addition, when you next open your Home App on your iPhone the new device will show up and can be added to all your regular scenes or automations. For those not familiar with the Caséta system, you will need to get a starter kit so you have a bridge. Without the bridge none of the Caséta products can be configured. They will work as local device controllers only. For Apple Siri integration, you also need an iPad or Apple TV you can leave connected to the same wireless system as the bridge and the bridge must be connected to the internet for proper setup.

I have used this to control circulation pumps. I can set timers, run times, schedules and more. The advantage with this is I do not need internet like Alexa and Google home to run it. You will need internet to set it up but after set up so long as you have wifi signal to you smart device you can adjust the settings.

I added a recirculating pump to my hot water tank in my garage but wanted better control than simply one fixed set of times which is all the pump offered. This allowed me to set the pump to ON and then use the Lutron app to control exactly the schedule I wanted. This also alleviated the issue of a power outage - the fixed times offered by the pump would have to be reset after each outage.
