These are best of breed - but concerns about the source made me queasy - so deleted the app and use as mechanical switches via the activation buttons. True, it robs them of IP capability and iPhone switching but I feel better - and I’m including the  Homekit versions - they’re “compatible” - but not made by . True, my iPhone’s always on the 5GHz network so I need to switch networks back to 2.4GHz to access this - which pretty much obviates its use - but except for my  TV inside a cabinet, all my other switches are ‘walk up’ in plain sight and the soft touch switch aspect is a pleasure to use for turning on or restarting devices - which  TV needs all too often. BTW, I’m a Meross fan due to their little wood cabinet clock - which makes a great gift.

I bought the 4 pack of these and found it pretty simple to install. I did have to switch my router to 2.4 GHz only for the installation only. I then also downloaded the Meross app and updated the firmware. Then I could turn back on my 5ghz network and everything worked perfectly.

My review will be focused on HomeKit functionality, as this is why I purchased this product. First off I ordered a 4 pack, shipping is always great with prime so no need to go into details on that. So far I have only been able to get 2 of the 4 added to my HomeKit setup. I did have to work around a few things to get those two synced as I have an Orbi mesh WiFi system. With that I have been unable to get the other 2 to sync. Now mind you with the Meross application I can get the devices to join the network so there is no issue with the 2.4Ghz to 5Ghz issues on my end. My problem is strictly with the devices ability to connect to HomeKit which right now I am at 50% being able to connect. Once the devices are connected and functioning I have had nothing but great success (with the 2 connected). They are responsive and have both been setup on automation based on times of the day as they both have Christmas lights plugged into them. Overall I gave the product 3 stars as the items claims to be easy to connect to HomeKit which is not truly the case (at least for me) again people may claim “well you have a mesh WiFi router” which is true. However, if that truly was an issue, then why after I try to connect the device through HomeKit and it fails, does it connect and function through the Meross application? Like I said I wanted this product strictly for the HomeKit compatibility.

We use this for our LitterRobot and used it for our Christmas tree and our bedroom lights. It’s great because it connects with Google Home and Apple HomeKit so automation options are fantastic. It’s also very helpful for hard resetting the devices connected to them, especially while traveling.

I have no issues with Meross smart plugs. I recommend them 100% over WeMos if youre making a choice. Their customer service is also fantastic. The QR code rubbed off one of the outside switches and they were able to recover and send it to me to put it back on my network. Meross smart plugs all the way!

These are a great updated or starter for any smart home. I recommend Meeros smart plugs.

Its easy to install into a Meross network and easy to integrate into my Google Home net.

At times when theres software upgrade on the Smart Plug I found some delay in synching with iPhone. Other than that works smoothly. Will definitely recommend the product.

So these smart plugs worked really great, and the response was quick as well. But then all of a sudden 3 out of 4 stopped working. The one working had not been connected previously. And the 3 that didn’t work anymore had been connected to devices. I had re-started, re-booted, erased them countless times from the home app and the Meross app itself but the same issue everytime. It would tell me either to restart the device before adding, or restart the device because it already belonged to another home. I called customer service and followed all the instructions they asked for, which was pretty much the same thing as rebooting the devices, they asked for things like sending them piks, videos of me restarting each device, and codes for each device as well. They responded fairly quickly but up until now they just stopped replying for no reason. It’s been almost a week and still no response. This really sucks because I’ve never had to write a bad review especially only because the customer service stopped replying for no reason so I feel like if they just didn’t want to deal with the issue anymore. I really liked the smart plugs and wish they could start working again because spending $40 on 3 out of 4 plugs feels wrong. But oh well i guess, still hoping that they will reply Update: i was told to be patient and that my replacements would be delivered in the 4th of February 2022. It’s now the 9th and i am very disappointed in how the customer service is handling this. Meross send me an email to contact another company i guess and still nothing. No update no email stating it would be late.

I have used other smart plug brands, but this one seems the easiest to set up in HomeKit. So far they have been very reliable as well.
