When used with decoration LEDs I find that there is a slight but clearly visible glow from the LEDs when in the “Off” position. Not what I had expected.

[@BlackSkull289]

Would rather get the Kasa one although don’t think it’s available in the UK yet

How to control meross out door plug when you are away from?

[@mkbaharris]

so jon, tell me, why is this classed for outdoor use? looks like you can only use it when its dry? surely you would want to plug in your lights and leave them and turn them on and off smartly, come rain or shine? you wouldn't want to have to unplug your lights if you think its gonna rain? please correct me if I'm wrong? I've seen people on amazon commenting the same and getting another box to protect this thing to make it fit for use in all weathers?

[@bctiger7882]

Did you even watch the video ?

[@mkbaharris]

@@bctiger7882 no I made a random punt reply without any knowledge at all. I have one of these. Spoken with Meross and you can’t leave it in the rain. Which defeats the object of using it outdoors.l…

[@masterlee6828]

Can you plug an extension cord while raining?

[@HomeKitAuthority]

I would not recommended it

[@Cagefighter]

But when you plug your plug for your lights, that plug will not be covered!!!!, it will get wet!

[@olej24]

Does it work outside in the rain even if you have something plugged in? I’d be nervous without a proper sealed unit.

[@HomeKitAuthority]

I had it working outside in the rain. But you need to ensure you are using a properly sealed plug that goes into it

could this handle an ev granny charger to schedule night off peak charging on 10amps for couple of hours?

[@HomeKitAuthority]

I have used it with my Tesla granny charger with it turned down to 10amps

[@dylanreed4743]

What does turning it down to 10 amps mean? And how is it done

[@stanthemafia]

It can but it always loses connection.. the router is just behind the wall

[@ayrshirefromabove2223]

Not an outdoor socket.

[@joshuaagk]

You may want to take this video down and reupload it. The HomeKit code on the back can be seen unblurred for a moment.

[@HomeKitAuthority]

Makes no difference, it can’t be used unless the person has the device

[@seanlegendhavemeyer9936]

You plug it with an outdoor sealed plug. Thats what the guy in the video says. Whats so difficult to understand??

[@carlstevenson8531]

That would not last 5 mins in the rain!

[@HomeKitAuthority]

It lasted a week without issue

[@bctiger7882]

Why wouldn’t it ?

[@stanthemafia]

Avoid

[@jasonstar9825]

This is a disaster waiting to happen!

[@HomeKitAuthority]

Why

[@bctiger7882]

Stick to licking envelopes
