IQ Outdoor Plug
The Liberty Security IQ Outdoor Smart Plug adds smart automation to any two outdoor electrical devices — lights, water pumps, holiday decorations, tools, or seasonal equipment — all controlled remotely through the Liberty Live app. Using PowerG encrypted wireless technology with up to 2,000-foot range, the IQODP-PG delivers reliable outdoor smart control without the need for Wi-Fi extenders or Z-Wave repeaters.
What is the IQ Outdoor Smart Plug?
It is a weather-resistant PowerG smart plug designed for outdoor use with your security system panel. It converts any standard outdoor outlet into two independently controllable smart outlets, each can be turned on or off manually, on a schedule, or via automation rules in the Liberty Live app. With military-grade PowerG encryption and an operating range far exceeding Wi-Fi or Z-Wave alternatives, the IQ Outdoor Plug is the most reliable smart outdoor plug for use with a Liberty alarm system. Each outlet supports up to 1800W resistive load (15A maximum), making it suitable for a wide range of outdoor devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
The IQODP-PG supports any standard outdoor electrical device up to 1800W resistive load or 250W inductive load per outlet. Common uses include: outdoor string lights and pathway lights, seasonal holiday lights, garden water pumps, bug zappers, outdoor fans, power tools (when not in use), and decorative lighting. It is not suitable for high-draw appliances like electric heaters.
Yes. Through the Liberty Live app’s automation rules, you can schedule the IQODP-PG to turn on and off at specific times, or set it to activate based on sunrise/sunset times for your location. You can also create rules to turn outdoor lights on whenever your alarm is triggered, or when your vehicle arrives home via the Connected Car geofence.
PowerG uses frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology with military-grade encryption, operating at a dedicated frequency that avoids Wi-Fi congestion. Its range — up to 2,000 feet — far exceeds Z-Wave (typically 30–100 feet between devices) and Wi-Fi, making it ideal for outdoor use where walls, distance, and interference can degrade other wireless protocols. No Wi-Fi extenders or Z-Wave repeaters are needed.
Yes. The two outlets on the IQODP-PG are enrolled as two separate automation devices in your Liberty system. This means you can turn one on while the other is off, put them on different schedules, or include them in different automation scenes — for example, turning on pathway lights at dusk while keeping a decorative feature light off until evening.
Yes. The IQODP-PG has a weather-resistant design and is rated for storage temperatures down to -22°F (-30°C), making it suitable for Canadian outdoor installation year-round. However, the devices plugged into it should be rated for outdoor and cold-weather use as appropriate.
