this is the application portion for the casa smart wi-fi outdoor plug you'll notice that you
actually have two separate plugs indicated for this even though it is a singular device each
plug gets its own section to turn on off and get data from right now we're going to click on
to outdoor plug 2 so that we can kind of see what we're looking at right here you see in the center
that is a big green on button and i'm going to pop back for one second and go to the outdoor plug
one because that would have turned off my key light when it's not on it's in a gray form
press on it you get a nice wipe and a green to let you know hey this is on i'll turn that off
one more time in the upper right hand corner you have a sprocket or a cog selecting this
will allow you to make changes to the overall plug itself so here we have name one name two which we
can select and change if we wanted to we're gonna leave that alone we have our customize area right
here we can swap so hypothetically if we wanted plug two to actually be plug one we can just
switch them around because i just named them plug one and plug two you might have it named
outdoor lawnmower and koi pond and the way that the plug is situated you know that this one is
here and you just wanna switch that around that's what that's for you have an led status light this
is the wi-fi indicator light you can turn that on or off i do appreciate that that is part of the
application anytime i can turn off a status light that i may or may not want on i like the fact that
it's included you have future tutorials so here it will walk you through pretty much the features and
you can select getting started if you wanted to go further and then device info will give
you information on the plug itself we're going to select back because now we're going to concentrate
now we're going to concentrate on the actual settings that you can do for the individual
plugs so power on and off that was a cog we have a scheduler so down here if we wanted to set up a
schedule we select that and then the plus sign and then we can select action turn on or off
when do we want this action to happen on so in this case right now it's set for 6 24 pm it would
power off and then i can select monday wednesday friday hypothetically and turn off the rest and
that would allow me to set a schedule to power off the device if i wanted to power on the device i
could set up another schedule and then you can set up multiple schedules depending on day of week and
what you want it to do so that's a nice feature to have on anything like this selecting back we have
timers so timer if you want your smart plug to turn off after x amount of minutes in this case
30 minutes it will turn the smart plug on or i could do turn it off after 30 minutes of runtime
so again more flexibility in your planning whether you want to use a schedule or you just want to use
timers selecting back one more time we have our away mode now away mode will allow us to
have the plug randomly turn on and off based on a randomized schedule so that people think you're
actually home and again you could start this and end this and then repeat on specific days i do
like just how simplistic tp-link keeps a lot of their scheduling services they look very similar
they do different things but they kind of have this very simplistic set of start time set and end
time and pick your days of the week and i'm going to select back and last on this page is our run
time now right now this is my run time for plug number two which is actually attached to one of my
key lights which is why i didn't turn it off and then looking at the runtime over the past 30 days
makes me realize just how much filming actually gets cut when i'm making these so you can see
total run time is about 366 hours with a daily runtime of 21 hours i assure you i don't do 21
hours but it's kind of averaging things if we come back to plug number one and do run time this one's
a little better because i really only ran it for a little bit before doing the review so that you
had some data there but you have today's data you have the past seven days and you have the past 30
day runtime and then you'll note that each plug is separate from each other so the stats for plug one
are different from the stats from plug two so they don't roll that stuff together which again is a
good thing because sometimes you want to know just specifically the item that you have plugged in
to a single plug how that's doing i do wish that it had energy usage but i get it there are other
casa products that do energy usage most of them will have the runtimes which is better than you
get with a lot of other options and coming back one more time you can see that there are two dots
here at the bottom of the page that is because it is two plugs but it's a singular device
so if we swipe we can swipe left or right between the two and you can actually see in
the background that the wi-fi indicator when it's on is actually on so it's a nice little touch and
really that's everything that you can do with the application for the casa smart wi-fi outdoor plug
