Outdoor socket

Hi guys! Can you recommend an OUTDOOR SWITCHED SOCKET with RCD included and to have a cord to plug it inside the house? If It has wifi, even better
Can`t seem to find one at Screwfix,Toolstation...I want a reputable brands to be sure it`s safe to use. Mostrly it will be used for Christmas lights/decorations around the house.

What I will do is .I'll plug a Tapo wifi socket in my wall socket inside the house, in the Tapo socket I will put the outdoor switched socked, in the switched socket I will put an master plug enclosure with a 4 gang lead...

Is it too much things plugged/connected with each other?

Thanks

    I buy the ones with a four way cord in a black box then trail the lead back to the house and use a tapo plug to turn the whole thing on and off.

    Yeah! In this way I don't need to buy the outdoor socket plug... basically it has no use (edited)

    You don't need an Rcd on the socket if the circuit you're connecting to already has one.
