this will be set up of tp-link's outdoor switch to start we come up to the upper right hand
corner and select the plus sign and then we come down to device so this is the works with casa
we're going to say got it and it's giving us a selection of things so we are going to select
right here it is a smart plug it is the outdoor spark plug but it's still a smart plug
and here we can actually see it smart plug outdoor or smart plug outdoor with two outlets
i have the one with two outlets so we're going to select that next we're going to plug in our
outlet we need a click sound we see flashing so we were going to select next because we see flashing
it's saying is it flashing orange and green as we established before yes it is orange and green
and now it should be connecting we'll bring this over here and kind of bring this into
view app wants to temporarily connect to wi-fi that this is creating so we're going to say yes
and it has connected successfully to it after which it wants us to select
the wi-fi network that we're putting it on so i'm going to quickly put in my iot network and once
i put in the credentials for my iot network we're going back to connecting it is flashing green now
so i'm hoping green means good and we're just going to wait for that to do what it's doing
and hopefully it will not take too long to actually pair up to my network this will be
attempt number three to set up the outdoor plug so i'm not going to walk you through
all the steps because you already know what we're trying to do i'm going to plug this in
plugged in i heard the click flashing next yes it's going to try and connect
all right connect we're connecting to the wi-fi network that it made
connection successful now we need to select our wi-fi network and then plug in our credentials
for it and select join and it's throwing me up this error message i open up settings
and i select the network and then i come back and we'll see if it actually does anything this time
all right no thanks it is connected to alex a which is great and we're going to flip it over
here and it is showing white so that means it's connected i don't know if i'm going to
show it all but this was the third attempt to get this on board in the app not quite as easy
as i remember casa being and if i don't normally set up as many of these i might have given up
and moved on to a different plug so tp-link might want to look at your onboarding process from the
setup might be a little hard to see we can add a plug identifier so we're just going to call this
tp-link 1 and tp-link 2. after signing a name you can select a visual representation if you wanted
to or from your album and camera i'll go over that in the app section and then we just went
through the same naming process for the secondary plug we're gonna select next and congratulations
you are confirmed so sounds good and that now adds it to my casa app and of course there's a firmware
so we are going to update the firmware but i won't make you sit through that so once you name it and
update the firmware that actually completes the setup process for the tp-link outdoor plug
you
