Essential info
I’m so lucky that the previous owner installed this system. Looking at all the smart home systems available today, I still think this is one of the most stable and reliable systems out there — and it has already been running for 20 years!
So glad Insteon is back. Been a while. I bought 2, they were so good, bought 2 more. Company closed up shop for a bit, they're back! Bought 2 more. I have them all thru the yard and ready for Halloween/Christmas Season. Thanks Insteon!
We use these modules to control the daily on/off times of our two garden fountains. They also work great for controlling our outdoor holiday nightime lighting.
Very solid
Great product, wish it was variable , not just on and off
Insteon works for our outdoor pond lights when other smart plugs don’t and/or have died with in a couple years.
I’m using the Outdoor On/Off Plug to control deicing cables in our facility’s gutters. It’s integrated with our WeatherBit weather plugin, so the system automatically activates based on temperature and precipitation conditions rather than running continuously.
That automation saves energy, reduces wear on the cables, and prevents ice buildup during freeze/thaw cycles. The unit has been reliable outdoors and handles the load without issue.
For anyone looking to automate seasonal equipment instead of manually switching things on and off, this has been a solid solution.
I have purchased and used many outdoor remote units and Insteon is the best performing unit. Don't waste your time with other products just spend the extra money and upgrade to Insteon. You will not be disappointed.
I’ve used various home automation modules for more than 45 years, utilizing X10, Z-Wave and Insteon, so I have perspective. This outdoor On/Off plug is ruggedly built and was quite easy to set-up. I’m using it to control an outdoor water feature so it can be adaptively controlled by automation software. The 15 Amp power capacity and NEMA rainproof rating give me confidence that it will easily handle the task for many years.
So its not that difficult to advertise things
A bit harder to create ship deliver
Insteon does all this of course
BUT -- the product actually works as advertised- fast clean and robust
WOT!! Yes a good long lasting product
I have used Insteon and Z-Wave products in my home automation system for many years. I have to admit that Insteon products are my favorite in all categories, particularly the Outdoor On/Off plug. I bought this one to control a set of outdoor Christmas Tree Lights powered by an external 110VAC plug. Like all my Insteon products, this one has never failed me no matter what the weather, be it ice, snow, sleet, wind or all 4 at once. I highly recommend it.
I have a number of Insteon indoor / outdoor switches operating both holiday lighting and everyday landscape lighting throughout our property. Never experienced an issue with heat or cold exposure, several have been in place for over 10 years. I would recommend for any outdoor projects.
Great product! Currently handling most, if not all of our outdoor holiday decorations!
Insteon products sold under the new ownership have remained top quality and reliability.
Not working well
I use the outdoor on/off plug to control cutting power to my robotic lawnmower when there is lightening in the area. It has been a dependable way to protect my robotic lawnmower and I plan to install more for various outdoor light decorations.
Insteon products are easy to use, reliable and innovative, keep going
I was not happy to be assessed duty costs of $21. On this item
We fully understand shipping internationally can lead to higher-than-expected shipping and handling costs for direct-to-consumer shipments. We are working with our logistics partner and carriers to see if we can offer other options and/or reduce the current rates. Meanwhile, there is a dealer in Canada called AARTech that you can look into for future reference.
I lucked up and found the outdoor on/off modules a few years ago. I ordered 3 and recently ordered another one. I use them during the winter months to provide heat to my plants which I cover due to the cold weather., as well as to provide heat in my pump-house. The timers are accurate and engage as they are programmed. They are easily programmed and you can view their status on the Insteon app.
This device is perfect for outdoor Christmas lights, especially when added to the other outdoor scenes set to come on at dusk. No extra timers needed. The Insteon system is so much easier and much more expandable than anything out there.
Outdoor On/Off Module
We recently added an outdoor outlet so we could project Christmas decorations on the garage side that faces the street. The Outdoor On/Off module was the perfect solution for automating the running of the projector.
You know those outdoor outlets need to have a GFCI to be safe. So, how do you control a load outside when you can't use a switched outlet? Add one of these! Works just like every other Insteon product, so nothing new to learn. Other option is to use a GFCI circuit breaker in your panel, so consider that if you are building/adding outlets, but then if it trips, you have to visit the panel and find the right breaker to reset, so this option is easier, if not a clutter-free and clean.
I keep a few of these around for Christmas lights and other occasional needs. The photocell went bad last week on my low voltage lighting transformer, so I’m using one of these to control on/off.
I have 15 outside modules and use them for landscape lights, underground pumps, fountains, bug zapper, halloween and Christmas displays. They work great. We live on a quarter acre with a 4000 soft house. I am using a ISY controller and MobiLinc Pro phone app.
There are some situations were standard switch and dimmer modules don't work. One is some LED Christmas lights. This module always works.
Insteon controls the 12 candles in our windows, the lights in our snow houses and the outdoor lights perfectly.
I have used multiple versions of Insteon devices since 2005 with over 45 switches and modules in my home. I use Universal Devices EISY because of complex conditional automations and integration with other systems using PG3. The Insteon devices are exceptional, reliable and rich in features that switches of other protocols don’t completely provide.
What I like:
- quality of feel when pushing the lever. Does not feel cheap and mushy with the right amount of tactile response.
- light instantly turns on without the 0.5s delay seen by other switches like Inovelli.
- dual-mesh networking for both wired and wireless redundancy
- multi-tap for scene control
- each switch can be a part of up to 256 scenes
- no need for cloud when using UDI’s EISY hub
- switches are direct binding without the need for a hub
- smooth dimming with LED lighting indicator
What I wish for:
- Insteon devices should be Matter capable for direct integration with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google.
- LED lighting indicator bar that can change colors through programming for annunciation of conditions
I believe if Insteon made their devices Matter over Thread capable, they would sell a TON more because they could work with any platform and would bridge the gap between Insteon and Thread.
As being a user of 'Home Automation', beginning with X-10 from Radio Shack, I now have multiple protocols installed. As having a large inventory of Insteon devices, that is my primary installation, and I am happy that the product was revived and that Insteon is providing fresh product, new features and more. I have recommended it to friends/family who have interested in HA. I recently ordered a couple of "Outdoor On/Off Modules".. I use them often for holiday decorations... I actually repaired one today, as it got water inside and corrosion caused the communication interface to fail... some scraping/cleaning/alcohol and it is working fine. I like that Insteon is recognized by Amazon Alexa (our voice interface), Universal Devices Polisy, 'Home Assistant' (our digital control interface), as I utilize all, creating full function control of our home.
