Pros & Cons
Wyze Plug Outdoor (WLPPO1-1)
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
SwitchBot Plug Mini W1901400 (4-Pack)
Pros
- +$7.50 a plug with metering — the lowest per-plug price here
- +Bluetooth LE fallback means it still switches from your phone when the Wi-Fi or internet is down
- +Rated to 5°F, so it tolerates an unheated garage better than most indoor plugs
- +One of the friendliest plugs to ESPHome/Tasmota reflashing if you want it fully local
Cons
- −This SKU has no HomeKit — SwitchBot sells a separate, dearer 'HomeKit Enabled' Plug Mini and buyers routinely order the wrong one
- −No Matter without buying a SwitchBot Hub Mini on top
- −2.4 in tall body crowds the second socket on a duplex receptacle
- −15A is a resistive rating only; SwitchBot publishes no motor or HP figure
- −Remote control and Alexa/Google both depend on SwitchBot's cloud
