How to Set a Timer on a Wyze Outdoor Plug

The Wyze Outdoor Plug is a smart plug designed for outdoor use, offering convenient control of your outdoor devices. One notable feature is the ability to set timers, allowing you to automate your outdoor lighting, appliances, or other devices for enhanced convenience and energy efficiency. This guide will walk you through the process of setting timers on your Wyze Outdoor Plug using the Wyze app.

1. Setting a Basic Timer

The Wyze Outdoor Plug offers two primary timer types: basic timers and schedule timers. Basic timers are simpler and offer a straightforward way to turn your plugged-in device on or off after a set duration. To set a basic timer:

Open the Wyze App: Open the Wyze app on your smartphone and log in to your account.
Select your Outdoor Plug: Navigate to the "Devices" tab and select your Wyze Outdoor Plug from the list of connected devices.
Access the Timer Settings: Tap the "Timer" icon on the Outdoor Plug's device screen.
Choose "Basic Timer": Select the "Basic Timer" option from the available timer types.
Set Timer Duration: Use the "Timer Duration" slider to choose how long you want the timer to run. You can set it to anywhere between 1 minute and 24 hours.
Choose On or Off: Select "On" if you want the plug to turn on after the set duration or "Off" if you want it to turn off.
Save the Timer: Tap the "Save" button to finalize your settings.

Once saved, your basic timer will activate automatically, turning your plugged-in device on or off based on the duration you set.

2. Creating a Schedule Timer

Schedule timers provide greater flexibility and control over your plugged-in device's on/off times. With schedule timers, you can set specific times for your device to turn on or off throughout the day or week.

Open the Wyze App: Open the Wyze app on your smartphone and log in to your account.
Select your Outdoor Plug: Navigate to the "Devices" tab and select your Wyze Outdoor Plug from the list of connected devices.
Access the Timer Settings: Tap the "Timer" icon on the Outdoor Plug's device screen.
Choose "Schedule Timer": Select the "Schedule Timer" option from the available timer types.
Set Schedule: Tap the "+" button to add a new schedule entry. You can set multiple schedule entries for different times throughout the day or week.
Choose Time and Action: Select the specific time for your schedule entry and choose whether you want it to turn "On" or "Off."
Repeat Options: You can set the schedule to repeat daily, weekly, or on specific days of the week.
Save the Timer: Tap the "Save" button to finalize your settings.

Schedule timers are ideal for automating tasks like turning on outdoor lights at dusk or turning off your Christmas lights at a specific time each night.

3. Managing and Editing Timers

The Wyze app provides convenient ways to manage and edit your timers. Here's how:

View Existing Timers: Visit the "Timer" section of your Wyze Outdoor Plug's device screen to review the timers you've already set.
Edit Timers: Tap on a timer to edit its duration, schedule, or on/off setting.
Delete Timers: Select the trash can icon next to a timer to delete it.
Enable/Disable Timers: Tap the toggle switch next to a timer to enable or disable it temporarily without deleting it.

By managing your timers effectively, you can ensure your outdoor devices are operating according to your desired schedule and maximize their functionality.
