We finally added Ring bridge and lighting to our alarm system. Landscaping lights can now be scheduled and control via the Ring App. We've had Z wave switches in our system but these do not connect to ring bridge and do not have scheduling functions. Note that you must have the Ring Bridge module in order to use the Outdoor Smart plug. These units have two outlets that are individually controlled. they are called 'A' and 'B'. thus you can control two different power functions be it lighting, fans or small appliances etc. There is a button on the top face of the unit which has a slight toggle function left or right. Each side controls plug A or plug B toggling on and off manually when needed. They are very easy to setup via the Ring app. Click add device, Scan the bar code and follow the instructions. Once connected there are the various options to create lighting groups and schedule on off times. The units are a bit large and heavy so be aware if you are trying to conceal them. They have a hefty high quality feel to them. Heavy duty power cord with right angle plug end. Very Nice Read more

I have 5 of these strategically placed throughout my yard. One runs my fountain, another one runs my gazebos lights, another I use for my light strips on my awning, another for an LED light strip on a fence and the last for a halogen projector. All hooked up to one bridge. They all work flawlessly through my Ring and Alexa apps. Have never had an issue setting any up or losing connection. Great that they have 2 outlets than can be controlled independently or as a single unit. Very versatile. Read more

It is impossible to connect this Ring Outdoor Smart Plug to the Ring Application. According to Ring Outdoor Smart Plug description, the following devices require to enable Ring Outdoor Plug smart features: 1. Ring Bridge, 2. Ring Alarm Pro, 3. Echo (4th Gen), 4. Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen). 1. Original standalone Ring Bridge is discontinued. The new the (second generating) bridge does not work with the Ring Outdoor Smart Plug. 2. You are not able to buy Echo (4th Gen) because it is out of stock. Echo 4th generation International Version 'cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location'. I tried to use Echo Dot 3d and 5th generation it does not work. 3. You are not able to buy Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) and it looks like it discontinued. 4. Ring Alarm Pro Base Station (newest model) is the only available on the market and sale by the Ring store for $249.99. However, the product information for newest model of Alarm Pro Base Station does not mention compatibility with Ring Outdoor Smart Plug and you are still not sure if this newest model will be work with the Ring Outdoor Smart Plug. Even if Alarm Pro Base station somehow will work with the Ring Outdoor Smart Plug, it does not make sense to spend additional $249 for $29 Ring Outdoor Smart Plug, which is already 2-times more expensive then other outdoor smart plugs. So, do not spend your time and money for Ring Alarm and specifically for Ring Outdoor Smart Plug. It does not worth it!!! Read more

This thing works really well - with the ring bridge, which is required - once you understand how it all works. See the bridge is like Ring’s router for all the ring light stuff. It uses a different frequency and is only dependent on your WiFi to connect the bridge to the internet. Everything else is connected from the Bridge to the ring device on their own little frequency and network. I really wish these details were included in the manual, documentation or troubleshooting guides. Alas, excellent support when I called into Ring on a Sunday night. So 4 stars because some better documentation would have saved me (and them) a troubleshooting. 5 stars for performance once I got passed my hurdle. Read more

Works as advertised with no issues. Set up is very easy and can be done in under 5 minutes. Your WiFi will be dependent on how much lag time when turning on and off the power. Has been outside in the elements and rain for years with no problems. Read more

I purchased this smart outlet to control two sets of outdoor lights in my backyard, around my swimming pool. Although, Amazon claimed it would work with/through one of my echo speakers I was never able to connect the smart outlet to the rest of my Ring devices without first buying a Ring lighting bridge. You can’t buy a Ring bridge by itself on Amazon, however, you can buy one at Lowe’s. What I like about this device is that you can control both outlets independently, as well as set up timers on each, or have them turn on automatically based on events, such as motion sensors activated on other Ring devices.
