My smart switches came in today<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TP Link Kasa WiFi Plug Lite and ezOutlet 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The pair of TPlink ones were cheap, about $25 for two, the one on the right is a not so common one called an ezOutlet2 EZ-22b which is nearly three times the cost (6 times if you count just one) at $70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will do a multi post review of the ezOutlet2, but it is a purpose built device that will monitor your Internet link and reboot as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here is the unboxing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It came in a plain white box, I blocked out some info that may be serial number related, I suspect the serial number is needed to control the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ezOutlet2 Simple White Box<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There was not much in the box, the device itself came in bubble wrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The contents were not much, this was simple, and in this case I am OK with simple<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There is a simple 1 page manual, and folded in a the manual is a mounting template if you want to mount this on a wall. A standard C14 kettle cord (common one used for PCs) a short ethernet cable and the device itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unit itself is not that big, about 3 1\/4″ wide 3 1\/2″ deep and 2 inches high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will do a more in depth post tomorrow on the device, I just realized these photos suck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I blame it on the lighting, will get a better set of photos tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
