Easy to set up and works well

Super easy setup! One of the outlets is for the water fountain pump. And the 2nd outlet controls the water fountain LED lights. Setup was super fast, and works flawlessly with HomeKit!!

So I live in an apartment complex and bought this for my outdoor balcony for my string lights. I tried to set it up on my balcony and each attempt ended in failure. After several on and off attempts over the span of a few hours, I brought it inside out of frustration. I then tried to see if I could pair it inside, and it worked on the first try. Not what was happening from a technical standpoint but that fixed the pairing issue, and now it works fine.

I use this with my Home app (Apple) out front of my house. One outlet is for my car charger, the other is for decorative lights. I have peak electric hours I dont want to be charging my car, so the one outlet is set to turn off during certain hours. The other outlet I have set to turn the lights on at sunset and to turn off at sunrise. Its great being able to tell the device to do two different things. Its well build, it looks nice, and works really well.

Easy to setup in homekit like most homekit devices. I was pleasantly surprised that it allows you to control the two outlets separately - in homekit you can long click the plug to see both outlets and if you go to settings you can even unpair them to show as two separate devices. My only complaint is that it uses wifi instead of thread. I realize thread is brand new and more products will use it as it continues to become popular. I just dont like all these smart plugs clogging up my wifi. But for the price point and the homekit native compatibility this plug is hard to beat.

Maybe the units interoperability with HomeKit is just on the edge? My first unit was always a little flakey but then, after ~7 months (Nov 2022) stopped working altogether with my HomePod and iPhone (iOS 16.4.1(a)). Can reset it and re-add it, but then the Home app reports it as non-responsive.... Same difficulty.

I now have several of these devices in my HomeKit network. I am slowly replacing other outdoor switches as they are much less reliable, requiring periodic unplugging and replugging to get them to respond again. These Meross outdoor switches stay connected and work as advertised. I dont think I have had a single disconnection with them yet! Once or twice I have had to struggle a bit to set them up initially, but in those situations a second try always worked.

I purchased this wifi enabled outlet to get ready for the holidays. We have inflatable scenes for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas and I was using a dusk to dawn outlet but I didnt like that it would be running ALL night.... nobody watches Christmas lights at 3am so when I found out Meross made one of this I got it right away. I have nothing but great experiences with their products (see one of my screenshots shows 4 different devices). I love the fact that you can control each outlet independently so its not all ON or all OFF at the same time. So if I want to plug my backyard patio hanging lights I can do it in the same plug and control them separately.

This product is great! Very easy to install and user-friendly. I own two of them, the first is over a year old and still functions very well. We have used these to control string lights on the patio as well as Christmas lights in the winter. The only thing I would change is how you set up routines in the app, not super easy and user-friendly.

It works as advertised, not issues.
