This smart dimmer plug does not need to be connected to a difficult hub. You just simply plug in a device (light source) and you can control your outdoor smart plug via Treat Life APP directly from anywhere, as long as your phone access to a  2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. And from the Treat Life App, you can then switch it on/off manually or create a timer function to have a schedule for your lights.

It works pretty much with any device as long as you stay within the output range: 50W LED, 150W CFL, 400W Incandescent.

3.Woods 32555WD Weatherproof Outdoor Outlet Remote Control Converter Kit Review

The Woods 32555 Outdoor Wireless Remote switches devices on and off from 60-feet away.

You can handle your outdoor lights, patio, security lights, or holiday lights from inside your home or even your car if you want to do that with the wireless remote and receiver.

The signal is pretty strong in this device, it can travel through walls, doors, windows and that`s a good feature and because of that, you don’t have to always have eye contact with the device you’re controlling.

Both the outlet box and remote operates on the same ‘paired’ frequency channel, so they don’t cause trouble with other electronics.

If you are getting more than one unit, the frequencies you are getting will be non-specific with a possibility of matching frequencies.

How do you install and configure the outdoor dimmer switch?

This remote device is fast to install, you don’t need tools to set-up and it`s super easy to control just by a simple tap of a button.

6.LECLSTAR Outdoor Dimmer Switch

Wireless RF Smart Plug-in, Remote Control Dimming Controller – 200W Max Power/150FT Max Range/IP68 Waterproof/

Outdoor IP68 waterproof dimmer switch

I’m not much of web graphic guy, but I do know a quite of a lot about dimmers.  This year I’ve spent over 300 days on jobs installing and wiring electrical devices and tested over 15 different outdoor dimmers. Many of them sucked but some of them really fit the bill …like this Leclstar outdoor waterproof dimmer switch.

 

What can you do with the remote device?

• You can turn on the Holiday Lights on a cold night (or warm)
• Control Lights
• Good helper for a person who is not convenient for action (elder, pregnant woman, or limited mobility person) at your home
• 150ft range

This dimmer is easy to hook up and the remote that comes with it is great. It offers so many settings as well as a timer and some buttons for your own custom settings. One thing that you should know is that the remote is very small and it can be hard to find it if you forgot where you put it.

The only thing that comes to my mind that is somewhat negative with this product is the length of the wire between the plug and the controller, it could be a little bit longer.
