Hi folks,
SPOILER ALERT!
Last year I managed to switch most of my electronics stuff to a (nearly) fully Shelly-based setup. And I am very pleased with that.
However one of the use cases where I am still stuck is the lack of outdoor wifi plugs. I could try another brand, but the Shellies work fine and now I have a (rather) uniform way of working. So I don't want to start mixing again...
Today I found this page about a Shelly Outdoor Plug S Gen3 certification (for the Connectivity Standards Alliance). There is no image available yet, but you can see it has been certified on 18-11-2024.
If you compare that with the indoor version of Plug S gen3 (see here), that one has been certified on 15-07-2024 and was released on 15-09-2024 (i.e. exactly 2 months afterwards). So I really hope their outdoor plugs will be available soon... More specifically I hope they release it around 18-01-2025 
Although the outdoor plug is not available in their webshop yet, strangely enough I found it already in their product use cases (see here): to control outdoor christmas lights. Which is indeed a very nice use case, but it will be for christmas 2025...
Have fun with your Shellies!
Bart
