What Makes a Good Wi-Fi Outdoor Socket?

A Wi-Fi outdoor socket is a weatherproof smart plug for outdoor use that you control via Wi-Fi and an app. It’s versatile: operate garden lighting or your irrigation system by remote access.

A quality outdoor plug such as the Shelly Outdoor Plug S Gen3 offers a high-protection class (IP44) for splash protection, a stable connection and simple setup. Extras like timers, energy metering or voice control add convenience. Also look for robust materials and UV resistance in any Wi-Fi outdoor socket.

Which Other Shelly Switches Work as an Outdoor Socket?

You can also use the Shelly 1PM Gen3 / Gen4 or Shelly 1 Gen3 / Gen4 outdoors – but only if the external socket is fully weatherproof and protected. These are not plug-in adapters; they must be installed behind the outlet by a professional. Both enable smart control of the outdoor socket; with the 1PM Gen3 / Gen4 you can also measure power

If you want to use the Shelly Plug S Gen3 outside for smart control of garden lighting and more, it needs a fully shielded socket (e.g., in a garden shed).
