We recently mounted a TV in our screened in porch, which only has 1 outlet. The outlet is on the opposite end of the porch so running an extension cord from one end to the other wouldn't look very good. Right now, we have the TV plugged into the end of a string of hanging lights. The lights are on a timer so the TV is powered only when the lights are on.
We thought one option might be to buy a WiFi electrical plug that we could control using either our phones or an Amazon Dot.
Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for a WiFi electrical plug? Or are there other options I'm missing?
P.S. I'd rather not pay the cost of an electrician installing a new outlet.
