Lightkiwi E2683 WiFi Smart Plug for Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Transformer

I bought this because a zwave plug I attempted to use wouldn't work with the kiwi transformer door closed (gah Faraday Cage).The plug is easy enough to configure using the ehappy app. I'm just disappointed I can't use an existing home hub such as smartthings. I'd have to pair the app with google assistant and then to smartthings?? not at all ideal. I'll continue to work with it to see if there's a generic device adapter that would work with this wifi plug device

As many have suspected, when you put these inside the Lightkiwi transformers and close the door, the range is significantly reduced. This should really have a wire antenna that you could bring outside the transformer through a hole. I have this down by my pool, an area that has wifi, but it does not see the network with the door closed (but does with the door open). I then installed an outdoor WiFi repeater, and this device now works about 90% of the time with the door open, but sometimes the lights will flash on and off repeatedly as it gains and loses the signal.So if you can bring a wifi extender or repeater REALLY close nearby this is great. Otherwise you'll want to use a timer or light sensor

I loved these Lightkiwi’s and installed 3 of them. Installation and programming is easy. I actually have various makes of Wi-Fi devices totaling over 16 at a vacation home. The bad news is, after a power outage, all the Wi-Fi devices reset and work while all 3 of my Lightkiwi’s are disconnected (offline) and will not reconnect even when I reset my Wi-Fi router remotely.

Not sure why so many negative reviews. Once you have it added to smart life app it works perfectly. Scheduling and on off switch works instantaneously without delay. Definitely recommend it and the lightkiwi low voltage transformer

The idea is great. The issue is the wifi connectivity is non-existent when the transformer door is closed (which it has to be or its not isolated from the elements). The moment you open the door the smart plug connects back to the wifi; however, the moment you close the door it loses connection almost instantly. Essentially makes the product useless for a low voltage landscape lighting transformer. Ended up purchasing a photocell from Lightkiwi which works flawlessly so far.

Works great for programming the landscape lights. I have multiple times set for different days of the week depending our Schedule. Picks up the signal from inside of the house being on the outside.

Deck lighting system within a transformer box. Works perfectly!

Worked fine for about 6 were but then kept disconnecting from wifi every night and wouldn’t turn my landscape lights off. Returning it and going back to my Internatic Digital Timer.
