> 3 dayThis is a sturdy, easy to use unit with reliable Alexa integration. Even though it’s only rated for 10 amps or 1250 watts, it uses a higher grade, weather resistant 14 AWG electrical cable rated as SJTW, 105C. The outlets are plugged with thick rubber caps that look like they’ll hold up well. Setup is simple, thanks to well written instructions and a good app. There’s a separate set of instructions for the Homekit users too. It has a handy notch to mount the outlet to the wall (though I wish this was offset so that the screw would be accessible). There’s also a little loop on the strain relief that can serve a similar purpose. The app is great. It does a good job of guiding the setup process and it seems to be written by someone who understands English like a native speaker. Once set up, the app has a couple features that are sometimes overlooked: a countdown timer so that the outlet will automatically turn off after X minutes and an option to turn off the LEDS. Plus, there’s a widget to control devices directly from the homescreen. Also, it has one essential feature that every manufacturer ought to have: a direct link to the manual. Alexa integration works flawlessly and the wifi range seems good. Alexa commands are carried out reliably and with no more than a couple seconds delay. Alexa routines also work well. Each plug can be named and addressed independently. The unit as a whole can also be named. (Hint: use names that sounds distinctly different.) Right now I have the unit about 150’ from an access point, going through half a dozen walls, in a RF congested area and I’ve had zero issues.

> 3 dayI own a lot of Meross plugs and they normally work well. However, these outdoor plugs are very difficult to connect since they use HomeKit. I have an Apple phone but don’t use HomeKit. You can’t really avoid HomeKit with these and I think that’s the issue. I would not recommend these now. Bummer because Meross users to be really good.

> 3 dayThis outdoor plug works great with Apple Home Kit. You can control each of the two plugs individually from the app and you can also turn this on at the plug.

> 3 daySetup was very easy using the Meross app. This device must be setup on a 2.4GHz WiFi network. Programming the device was quite easy with the app. Each outlet can be controlled separately or together. The Meross app is very responsive and has not failed over the course of 18 months on my other Meross devices. Syncing with Alexa, Google Assistant and IFTT was automatic. I have also easily added this device to a SmartThings hub. This wireless outlet is perfect for controlling outdoor lights. When not be used outdoors I plan on moving indoors to control a pair of lamps. All in all a great device at a very reasonable price.

> 3 dayI figured I would run into some quirks with the dual/switch outlet, but it was one of the easiest Wi-Fi HomeKit products to setup/install. Would buy again. I used for a fountain, and for the fountain lights each with its own timer/automation.

Greater than one weekWeve used it to control all of our outdoor Christmas lights by using cheap, non-smart power stakes. I have zero complaints about the hardware. Setup is easy, especially if youve used any other Meross device. The app allows for device schedules based on sunrise/sunset. Creating scenes is the easiest way to turn multiple devices on/off. For instance, our Christmas setup is accomplished by setting each device to turn on at sunset, with a scene (with all devices off) set to run late at night.

> 3 dayConnecting this unit to HomeKit was very straightforward and took only a couple minutes. Works just as I expected. I have incorporated several devices into my HomeKit systems, so have some familiarity with the process. This may have been the quickest and easiest.
