“I currently have a motion light and 2 ring doorbells and we are looking to get the smart plug for our pool heater and X-mas lights in the winter. If I already have items I use the app for, do I need the Bridge just for the smart plug?”

Hello KendraO, Great question! The Ring Outdoor Smart Plug can be used to control any standard plug-in device, such as string lights, outdoor lighting, water fountains, or other outdoor devices. A Ring Bridge is required to enable smart features and in-app controls. If you already have a Ring Bridge on your account, a second is not needed. Keep in mind that the power output for the Ring Smart Plug is 110–120 VAC, 60 Hz, with a 15 A maximum load in total, a 1/2 HP motor, and an 1875 resistive load, so it may not power heavier load devices such as a pool heater.
