Unfortunately when conventional Wi-Fi socket controllers are used with outdoor sockets, they do not enable the socket lid to be closed, decreasing the weatherproof IP rating. In or der to overcome the problem, this unit can be fitted to any 13A extension lead ordered from us, as part of the assembly process. On arrival of the lead simply plug it in (reset the RCD if fitted) and connect it to your Wi-Fi network using a mobile phone app to enjoy full control of any device which is plugged in. Can be integrated into Google Home, Amazon Alexa and other Wi-Fi based platforms. Wi-Fi smart home automation is becoming increasingly popular, enabling more convenient control of items in the garden, whilst reducing electricity bills. In addition to remote control, the timer function can be used to operate during the lowest available electricity tariffs. When ordered with an extension lead, the Wi-Fi unit will be supplied already fitted to the cable. Unless stated in the order notes, the Wi-Fi unit will be fitted at the following approximate point: 13A plug lead - 40cm from the plug RCD plug lead - 40cm from the RCD plug In-line RCD lead - 40cm from the socket side of the in-line RCD If you would like it fitted at a different point along the lead, please add this requirement into the 'Notes to seller' box at the checkout. Please note that the unit is not suitable to switch EV chargers - please see our Wi-Fi EV charger controller. A Wi-Fi connection is required to enable the unit to be switched on/off, or for the timer to be programmed. However, once programmed, the timer function will continue to operate without Wi-Fi. Where Wi-Fi is not available at all, a stand alone plug in timer is also available here. Wi-Fi switch specification: Click here for the manual.
