Step 1: Choose the Right Location
Mount on a GFCI-protected outdoor outlet under an overhang, 2 ft above grade and inside 2.4 GHz coverage.
Step 2: Mount the Plug
Hook the keyhole slot over the supplied screw and anchor so the plug never sits face up.
Step 3: Connect the Load
Plug the landscape light or holiday string into the plug's own outlet and cap the unused socket.
Step 4: Verify Power and Pairing
Pair over Bluetooth before climbing down the ladder, then confirm the app switches the outlet.

Troubleshooting FAQs
Direct solutions to common network, protocol, and pairing questions.
Q: Does it need a hub or a Minoston account?
A: No hub. It joins 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and works through the Minoston app, Alexa or Google. Smart Life also works, but only one account should own the device at a time.
Q: It will not join my Wi-Fi.
A: Almost always the band or encryption. It is 2.4 GHz only and needs WPA2; a 5 GHz-only SSID, WPA3-only network or captive portal will all fail. Split the bands or create a 2.4 GHz guest SSID.
Q: How far can it be from the router?
A: About 300 ft in open air, but the real limit is your Wi-Fi at the outlet. One exterior wall is usually fine; a detached garage or metal shed is not. Check the signal before mounting.
