Safety/security
Using this to control my new Heat Trak system. It's so convenient to remote start this from another location plus the added security of snow/ice free stairs.

Responsive performance
## Setup Like most smart devices, setting up the Wemo Outdoor Plug requires downloading the Wemo app and creating a Wemo account (if you don't already have one). The app does a good job of guiding you through the setup process and it automatically added the plug to Apple HomeKit for me. Setting up Alexa integration requires going into the "More" section of the app and selecting "Connect to Other Services". The app guided me through installing the Wemo skill in the Alexa app, however, the name I gave the outlet ("back yard") did not carry over to Alexa and I needed to rename it in the Alexa app. ## Performance I've found the outlet to be very responsive in both the Wemo app, the Apple Home app, and with Amazon Alexa. To be fair, the outlet is located fairly close my router inside, which likely contributes to its responsive performance. I do like that there are multiple ways to control the outlet: the Wemo app, the Apple Home app, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, however, I was not able to integrate it with my SmartThings system at this time. ## Some things to know before buying - Although there are two outlets located on this Wemo outdoor unit, they cannot be controlled independently. They both turn on and turn off at the same time. - The cord comes straight down from the outlet. If you plug it into the top outlet, it will block the bottom outlet. - I was not able to add this outlet to SmartThings. It was not detected, even after selecting the Belkin/Wemo option.

Durable and reliable!
This smart plug works great and is very durable! Both plugs do function together, not independently (can't be operated as two separate outlets), but this does allow for two sets of items (lights and decorations) to be connected at once and use the same on/off rules. Setup is incredibly easy, especially if you already have Wemo products set up and are using the app. The only thing I didn't like about it is the plug comes straight down, it would be nice to have it at a 45 degree angle to be able to use on the top outlet without blocking the lower one, but I feel this is only an issue for those who have switched outlets outside. After the plug is set up, it just keeps working! I think that kind of dependability is what really makes the Wemo smart plugs standout and this one is durable and reliable! I would definitely recommend this for those who like to decorate the outside of their house and/or keep lights on their deck to brighten up their yard!

Easiest Setup I Have Ever Had
Setup for this device has to be the easiest I have ever had the pleasure of using. I set it up with the Wemo app in which you can scan the Apple Home code that is included with the plug and it self populates and also controls from the HOME app. There was no issue with it finding the network and it functions perfectly inside or out of our brick home on a mesh router system. Unfortunately its either on or off so even with the two outlets on it, all is either on or off and cannot be individually controlled. Programable from the app for on or off hours and situations. Will work in conjunction with other WEMO devices such as a motion detector for even more versatility. 15 amps total for the device, not for each of the two outlets any way you want to split it up, just so it does not exceed 15amps TOTAL. A three prong outlet or adapter is required as the device has a ground plug.
