The Meross Smart Plug does work but not very well. When you set up the plug a 2.4Ghz wifi connection is needed. If you have a dual band router make sure all your Apple devices, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, HomePod are on the 2.4Ghz band. The Meross App is also needed however the plugs are set up from the HomeKit app. One of my plugs works fine but the other that is further away from the router does not. You need to be very close to the plug to turn it on and off and Siri does not work. The second plug is set up to come on at sunset and can only remain on for 4 hours. A simple timer may work better if you want your light to stay on longer.

The switch turns on and off as expected with the proprietary Meross app and allows you to remotely control outlets away from home without using the full HomeKit integration. But the biggest issue is the automated schedule that you set through the Meross app doesn’t always turn on or off the plug at the programmed times if it loses the Wi-Fi connection. If it’s on an programmed schedule, one should think it would be set to and stored on the smart plug itself so it would no longer need a wifi connection. Not sure if this is the definite cause, but it routinely misses programmed on or off times and a bit of a deal breaker for some applications

I have all apple devices, so I wanted something that I could set up for my room a/c unit and a couple of other devices. This thing is crazy easy to set up. Scan the QR code in HomeKit, and youre good to go. It takes a bit of time for the thing to sync up right, but once it does, youre good. Ive had this going for quite a while now, and theyre working perfectly.

These plugs worked fine for a while, then they did a firmware update and they no longer work correctly, they will still turn on and off but the status on my Echo 10 always reads off no matter if the plug is on or off the status never changes, I am about ready to pack them all up and send them back to Amazon,.just as a side note I bought two more of there plugs with a different firmware and those two work fine, I am also running the latest firmware on the plugs that don’t work I just updated a couple days ago, they seem to work fine on Apple home kit but if you use Alexa your probably goi g to have a problem, at least I did, and yes I did reset the plugs it didn’t help

I had tried to do the smart bulbs for what seems like an eternity. I couldnt get it figured our. I happened across these. I didnt have high expectations because of the super low price. But why not? So I ordered a set. They work! I was so pleasantly surprised. They are easy to install, download the app, easy to integrate with alexa. Set a time for them to turn on and off. Easy peasy! Absolutely recommend!

I bought the Meross plugs on a whim. These plugs have been a game changer for me. The plugs are easy to setup and connect to Apple Home App. Automation has been a breeze to create with the Home App. I will buy more!

I’ve been using these for about 3 months now to control my exterior patio lights. They started out great with easy setup and fast connection via HomeKit. They stayed connected well until the temperatures here in Minnesota started dropping below freezing. To be fair, the description does say these are only rated for use above 32F… but I have multiple other smart accessories (plugs, bulbs, doorbell, cameras, etc) from more well known brands that have had the same (or worse) exposure to the cold and are still operating just fine. Additionally, updating these plugs is kinda wonky and buggy in my experience.

These switches integrated relatively easily with HomeKit. Requires that you are on the 2.4Ghz wifi signal in order to connect these devices. The 2D barcode isnt in the most accessible area on the plug, so I had to scan the code and then plug in the device. The second plug that seemed to be a little more finicky so it required that it be plugged in while it was scanned in by HomeKit.

They work great until there’s a firmware update—which is every couple months. Once a firmware update is available they stop responding until updated, which usually requires a factory reset and re-adding them to HomeKit.

These are the first smart plugs Ive tried and so far they are great and I plan on buying more. I bought these because they worked with Apple HomeKit and the first one I tried to set up caused a little bit of difficulty. I managed to get it to work within the app before I made it work with home kit but otherwise once it did work with homekit everything went well. I used one for the lamp my fan in the living room and everything is working. There were no problems with the wifi, they connected instantly. If youre really into things that expand the use for HomeKit these are perfect. And the price is perfect for a pack of two instead of buying only one of the more expensive plugs these are the ones to go to. And i think that the clicking sound to make sure that they turn on is pretty cool. I look forward to more homekit Meross products.
