I had a plan in my head, and I put it into effect, but it got messed up. Hangs my head in shame.

The plan

I was thinking ahead in the new house and got several plugs on a switch in the eves and on the house.  You know, for Christmas lights. I like to hang lights up during the Christmas season. I have four plugs in the eves, and two towards the ground. But, I changed the way I do lights. I have some permanent lights up. This meant the permanent lights are plugged into the “Christmas” plugs in the eves. That meant that the switch was always on to power the lights.  Also, I have some cameras plugged into those plugs as well.

Plugs on the Ground

One plug is on my porch, and the other is on the side of the house. Since the side of the house has something plugged into it, it needs power at all times.

I don’t always want to leave my Christmas lights on; that would look tacky. So not me.  According to my wife, I am tacky as hell.

I needed to think of something.

I found this

This is a Kasa outdoor plug. What the hell does that mean, Gadget guy? Well, it means that you can control it via your smartphone and set it up on a schedule, and it will turn on and off when you want it to.

WHAT!!

Yep, just like my switch, which I have talked about here. Yes, it is in that family of products, and it is really nice to have.

It comes with about 8 1/2″ cord and it has two plugs.

2 Plugs —

Yep, you can plug 2 things into this and both of them will turn on when you want them to.  I have three of them that I used last Christmas. I named them so I could put them where I needed them. Didn’t do much in the yard last year. You know the first year in the house. Wanted to see what the neighbors are doing so we don’t overdo it. Or like my wife would say. Not to be “White Trash”

Plus, the snowman has died.  Rest in peace, my friend.

These aren’t just for Christmas use. I have other places where I can put them. I picked these up on Amazon for $15.99.
