Outdoor smart plug lighting schedule not working

The bridge and smart plug are set up and the plug works manually to turn on the lights, but the schedule did not turn the lights on at dusk. I am going to try to set a specific time to turn on (not ideal) but wondered if anyone else has had this issue? The bridge wifi signal shows as good and the plug to bridge signal as fair. The event list has the plug online at the time the lights should have turned on.
