These work great; have purchased 3 of them, the first one about 2 years ago, and it's still going strong. To be fair, though, I do live in Southern California, so the unit hasn't lived through much rain and moisture, but has stood up well to extreme heat. I have one unit set up with weekend sunrise/sunset timers for our patio string lights; I used another with time on/time off settings for our holiday lights. Gifted the third unit to our neighbors who, every night and morning, were pushing and pulling their holiday lights cord into and out of an outlet; just couldn't bear to see them do it anymore. Only negative is the app's interface, which could use some serious updating and streamlining; it's straight outta 2010. However, with the various timer options, it's pretty much set-it-and-forget-it, so the app shouldn't be needed after the initial set up. And initial set-up itself was fairly painless; just followed the simple instructions.

I was looking for a smart switch that would work out on my patio for hanging lights in the summer and Christmas lights in the winter! The location it would be in would not be super exposed to the elements, but it wouldn't be fully protected either. So my guidelines were that it needed to be quality, interface with my Amazon Echo, interface with my Google Home, be safe to keep plugged in continuously, and perform without fail.

Upon first opening the box you find that it's of a very good quality and I didn't have any worries that it would be safe out on the porch. The device itself works flawlessly and I have yet to fail to respond to commands from the device app or from my Amazon Echo. Where it fails however is from my Google home, it's not supported as you would expect unfortunately, but maybe in the future (hint hint Google!)

The app that pairs with the device does what it needs to do, but with very little frills. The app is cheesy and kind of outdated looking, but it does offer basic on/off functionality as well as timers etc.

One thing I want to point out as I've noticed some people asking about it, both outlets are controlled at the same time, there is no on for one, off for the other.

Overall, I'm happy with the device itself, I knocked off 1 star just because it doesn't support Google Assistant and for the app, but don't let that hold you back, it does what it needs to do outdoors safely.

Easy to program and it works well. I have two of them in my two houses, each run on different wi-fi/internet, I can control both from my Samsung Android very well. I like the Timer that I can add any day/time for start and end. Do not have by dates though, but I do not need programming by date either. If you have your network name hidden, then you need to type in the network name (and the pwd) on the WiOn apps so that it can find your network. That's is the only "difficulty" I ran across.

Great purchase. For the price of not much more than a typical outdoor-rated timer, I was able to get this WiOn. I've been using it extensively for the past month to control my outdoor Christmas lights. It took less than 10 minutes to figure it out and get everything working with my lights on a timer. Remote access through the app is super simple and works with no discernible lag via Wi-Fi or cellular connection (I am running the Android version of the app). The only negative is that I don't think this can be controlled by other popular app-based controllers (WeMo, etc.), but I could be wrong. Also, I have not yet tried using this with my Amazon Echo devices to test Alexa support, but I know that it is supported.

This was easy to setup and install. I installed two different ones and they both are working, grouped together and controlled by Alexa. The only issue I had was I tried to put a 3 way splitter on one of the plugs (as I have 3 extension cables running Christmas Lights). It would only allow for 2 of them to work with the splitter. However, if I plugged in an extension cord and then put the splitter at the end of the cord, it worked like a champ. Hopefully it's not pushing the limits on what it can handle. As mentioned, the setup was easy. Just use the online setup within the application to help you setup Alexa as there's no Alexa instructions in the printed instructions that came with it. The app was a little quirky when you have multiple outlets, However, the price of the outdoor outlets were well worth it. And now that Alexa controls it, don't really need the app for much anyway.
