Wyze Plug Outdoor (WLPPO1-1)
The outdoor plug that meters power — at the cost of being fully cloud-dependent.
Overall score 6/10
Pros
- + One of very few outdoor plugs that actually meters power — the Kasa EP40M does not
- + 1/2 HP motor rating and a -4°F floor make it usable for pumps and winter lighting
- + Two separately scheduled outlets for $14.99 each
- + Amazon regularly discounts it well below Wyze's own $29.98 list
Cons
- − Everything runs through Wyze's cloud; there is no local API and no Home Assistant support without reflashing
- − No Matter, no HomeKit, no SmartThings — Alexa, Google and the Wyze app only
- − 15A is the combined budget for both outlets, not each
- − IP64 is splash protection; the sockets must face down and the rating says nothing about a cord in the socket
- − 1-year warranty unless you buy direct from Wyze for 18 months
Wyze Plug Outdoor (WLPPO1-1) review: what the specs say
The outdoor plug that meters power — at the cost of being fully cloud-dependent. At $29.98, Wyze's 2021 model sits in the middle of the range — the smart Plugs we compare run from $11.99 to $52.99. It scores 6.0/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Load Headroom at 7.0/10 — how much of the nameplate 15A you can actually use continuously, and what the plug is rated to do with motors, compressors and heaters — the spec buyers most often get caught by. The weakest is Local Control at 3.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: everything runs through Wyze's cloud; there is no local API and no Home Assistant support without reflashing; and no Matter, no HomeKit, no SmartThings — Alexa, Google and the Wyze app only. Every specification on this page comes from Wyze's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
