Remote control of outdoor led lights

Yes, the BG Storm Smart Control system is a good option. Smart in-wall dimmers and switches, on the other hand, are best when you want to control lights controlled by a light switch, and they're especially useful for switches that control multiple lights at once. A smart switch or dimmer is a more permanent solution for incorporating smart lighting into your home. They allow you to turn on and off or dim your lights with a single switch, a smartphone app, or by voice if you have a smart speaker set up for that purpose, but they also allow you to create lighting schedules. You can also install them by electricians without changing your existing fixture or bulbs.
 
I ended up using the following SMART socket, as it supports Alexa or Google I can make that decision either way.

Question to those that have experience of these items ….

I have the item in above post (Smart socket)
it has a basic leaflet about downloading ‘SmartLife App’
Assume that is used to configure the device, it then gives QR codes for Alexa, or you can use Google Assistant.
If I treat that as a future… does it mean it can be controlled by phone/iPad using SmartLife App for now.
Just need remote on/off capability.

Yes to all of those. You may not though, need Alexa. Alexa is useful for more complex operations, such as timed on/off, sunset/sunrise and similar conditional operations, plus speech control.
 
Just simple on/off for now … so App will do for now then.
I’m sure I’ll want to play in future. :)
