Simple-Quick Landscape Lighting Automation
By R. HOLMES on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2020
10 minutes to install and test the system. My original low voltage landscape lighting unit is "ole school" dial timer switch. Each season I would painstakingly remove the timer pegs to align with the new dusk/dawn (sunrise-sunfall). Most times it was miss instead of hit. I would play with these pegs and finally get it right-so lights come on just at night fall. Just as I got it timed right, it is time to change seasons(daylight savings central time-zone USA). 1.Installed the free app. 2. Plugged the WiON directly in electrical outlet where landscape light box was previously plugged 3. Plugged light box into Wion 4. In App setup the "on & off" times according to local sunset-sunrise data. 5 Sit back enjoy hands- free control of landscape lights. First attempt in getting this item to function was highly successful. Also noticed that I could manually control the lights with my smartphone through the free APP. This coming Fall season, I can simply see what time it gets dark and go to the app and set that time for each day of the week. Awesome function, convenience & price for automating my exterior lighting!

Not reliable
By Mac on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2018
I bought this outlet to plug in a utility tractor snowblower block heater at a vacation home so I could turn it on before I arrived and heat the tractor up so I wouldn't have to wait for it for two hours to heat up before starting. Initially the item worked fine for about a month, but now each time I go to turn it on it is not being found on the app and the error to check the Wi-Fi signal shows. The signal is strong and reaches well beyond the device so it is not out of range. When I physically check the device, it is flashing and I manually need to turn it on and then it will sync back up and show up for about a day and then it reverts back to not showing up despite nothing changing. Not sure if it is the cold or if that is irrelevant as it seems many other reviews have the problem. I would not purchase this item again.
