Works as expected!

It works like it’s supposed to

I bought this to control a pond pump outside. In my experience the thing that distinguishes Meross wireless switches from others is the ease and peace-of-mind of connecting it to your wireless network. First you install the Meross app on your phone (in my case an iPhone). When the switch receives power for the first time, it creates its own temporary local WiFi network whose name will be something like Meross_SW_abc123. You connect your phones wifi to this network, and the Meross app connects to the switch over that network. Then you tell the app which home network you want the switch to connect to under normal operation, and the password for that network. And then youre done. For folks like me, who want to be careful to keep their smart devices on a separate Guest network because you dont 100% trust them and dont want them to be able to talk to your home intranet, this setup lets you do that. You never have to enter in your main home network credentials. This is in contrast to some other smart switches Ive seen that are very unclear about which network they need and why. The WiFi signal is good too. My switch is plugged in outside about 100 feet from the router. According the the Meross app the signal strength is at 20%. But I havent had any problems controlling it.

Im switching many of my remote devices to Meross. A landscaper put in an off-brand timer for my yard lights - hard to setup and failed after a year. My Meross one bought the same time is great! Bought another to replace the off brand one and have everything in one app. Way better!

I purchased two of these because of the Apple HomeKit integration. We recently switched over to Full Wave Rectified (non flicker) LED lights for our Christmas Tree, and were a little surprised by the brightness. We wanted a softer look. The Meross Smart Dimmer Plug worked with HomeKit effortlessly, and works with Full Wave Rectified LED lights. We have our LED lights now set at 30% when it is dark out, and they look just like our old incandescent mini lights. Great smart dimmer! (We also have on on our mini tree in our front window. We will definitely be purchasing more of these if we move to LED lights outside.)

Bueno no encuentro como programar el Tímer para que apaguen solas .

The Smart plug worked well. I was using an indoor smart plug outside and the wifi signal was too weak to activate. I replaced with this outdoor smart plug and immediately the issue resolved. it did the job well!

Once again, a search for “outdoor dimmer smart plug” turns up a product that doesn’t actually dim. Product is great - works for what it is - a smart on/off plug. Exchanging. C’mon Amazon you’re killing me.

Pedi este producto basado en que funcionaria con Alexa, lo cual no es cierto; nisiquera fue posible conectarlo al Wiffii que es lo más sencillo, vivo en un pequeño apartamento y lo quería usar para mi balcón asi que no era mucho la distancia que había desde el Router hasta el enchufle de afuera... El precio es demasiado caro para ser un ENCHUFLE más

So, I just got this, then I updated the software and added it into homekit. Then I commanded it to different levels while measuring the voltage. There are a few problems. 1. Commanding it to 0% is the same as commanding it to 1%. Which is to say, it does not turn off, and I think you should expect it too turn off in this case. The measured voltage in that case is still 30V. Thankfully, the light on the controller stays on, so its not actually misleading. 2. You cannot turn it off by pushing the button. At all. You can cycle through various power levels (which is neat) but theres no button combination that results in it being OFF. Or maybe there is and I havent found it. I havent read the directions, but I dont think I should have to read the directions in order to turn an electric power socket / controller with ONE button OFF. Okay, I just found it. You double-press the button for OFF. This is bad design.
