Technical specifications for the Kasa EP40 list a MediaTek chipset paired with a high-gain internal trace antenna. The IP64-rated enclosure is designed for low thermal output, which is critical for sealed environments. The dual-relay architecture supports independent control of each outlet with a total combined capacity of 15A.
Performance metrics indicate stable signal fidelity through brick and stucco at ranges exceeding 30 feet. The device operates as a switcher without energy monitoring hardware, focusing on execution latency which is reported at approximately 50ms.
- LAN-based control support via local API integration.
- Durability ratings suitable for heavy inductive loads like pond pumps.
- Moisture resistance via ultrasonic welding and IP64 standards.
For environmental protection, the unit must be mounted vertically. Forensic audits of field failures often correlate water ingress with horizontal placement or open socket covers during precipitation.
The Kasa Outdoor Smart Dimmer Plug should be considered if variable voltage control is required for lighting displays.
This device is a standard entry in the outdoor smart plugs category.
