Low profile plug was a poor design choice.
4 Stars
Low profile plug was a poor design choice.
It's larger than I anticipated which is fine and I'm sure it works with the bridge just fine. Here's the problem with their design...they've chosen a low profile plug which is directional. So when you plug this into a In-Use Outdoor outlet cover as you should and is in their picture, the outlet has to be vertically oriented and this plugged into the lower plug. The Ring Smart Transformer also has this low profile plug and now they've designed 2 outdoor accessories that can't be used on the same outlet. If your outlet is horizontal (like mine) then you are severely limited in In-Use covers(I used Sigma) that will accept this plug and allow another device to be plugged in. In-use covers are made for regular straight plugs.I do like that each outlet is individually controlled on the unit and can be put in different groups.
