Outdoor outlets need internal electronics
that can tolerate damp conditions, freezing
temperatures, and blistering summertime
sun. That’s where pig-tail smart plugs like
TP-Link’s Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Outdoor Plug
(model KP400) come in. An illuminated
indicator tells you whether the plug’s Wi-Fi
connection is active, and two sizeable
buttons offer independent control over
each outlet. Unused outlets are covered by
a rubber flap, and the company puts the
plug’s weatherization at IP64, meaning its
impervious to dust incursion and that it can
withstand splashes of water from any
direction.—CHRISTOPHER NULL
