Just received a 4 pack. Using them mainly to control fans throughout my home. They work great’. Would have been a 5 star review but the setup for them to work with iPhone Home Kit is a little clunky, not user friendly. Once you get it on one though the rest are quick.

When I had first purchased, I had some problems with wifi reliability and I left a dissatisfied review. The company reached out to me and offered to replace the plugs with a more recent version. Everything works great now. I used to buy my smart light bulbs from a different manufacturer, but I had problems with those too. So from now on, I am buying my smart bulbs from Meross, they stand behind their products.

Getting them added to HomeKit and updated to the latest firmware is enough to make you rage and want to return them. 2 hours later, they’re finally working. I work in IoT device industry and even I was having a hard time.

First off I have to say that I was given these plugs as a promotional item for my honest opinion and review. This will be a pretty long review but it does have a somewhat happy ending. The Meross Mini Smart plugs do live up to their name and are small enough to easily fit 2 on a standard dual outlet wall plug. The Apple Home integration was a simple and very straightforward process. All 4 plugs show up and can easily be controlled in the Home app. With that being said, the integration into the Meross app, Alexa and SmartThings was extremely frustrating but I was eventually able to get the plugs fully functional in Apple Home, the Meross app, Alexa and SmartThings. I do not have or use Google Assistant so I cannot speak to that aspect of the integration process. I initially used the Meross app for the setup and by just following the prompts was easily able to integrate all 4 plugs into Apple Home. But, after that, I could not get them to show up in any other app including the Meross app itself. Eventually I stumbled upon a method of installation that worked for me and finally allowed full functionality in Apple Home, Meross, Alexa and SmartThings. With the Meross app already installed and after factory resetting the plugs I initially set them up using Apple Home directly by scanning the QR code for each plug. After getting them all set up in Apple Home, I opened the Meross app, tapped the “+” in the upper right to add devices and Meross found the 4 plugs. I was then able to add them to both Alexa and SmartThings. They all seem to be functioning just fine in all 4 apps except for the fact that the Meross app does not usually show the correct state of the plug when they are controlled by any of the other apps but all of the other apps show the correct state when a plug is controlled by the Meross app. If the Meross app is closed and then opened again it will show the correct state for the plug. So, at this point I would rate the physical plugs as a 5 but because of the software issues and having to jump through hoops to finally get things up and seemingly working as advertised I can only grudgingly give the Meross HomeKit version Mini Smart Plugs an overall 4 star rating but for the price and functionality in the many different apps i would highly recommend giving them a try.

Wow, seems like the search has ended I been looking for a HomeKit compatible plug and I do extensive research before buying this kind of gadgets, unfortunately haven’t found a trusted one and ended buying a “TP” product but seems like they are getting behind the Meross brand eventually I’m switching over Meross products because with my experience they are reliable enough. I switched my MyQ garage opener for the Meross and no regrets and replacing all my smart plugs as well and having the option of Apple’s HomeKit is a plus I been using Google Home integration but if HomeKit is available I prefer it 100% I also updated to the Meross Collie on their Indiegogo campaign and I’m very happy with the result the other Meross worked good but as mentioned I prefer the HomeKit integration with no doubt. I’m using this plug for my coffe maker, bedroom salt lamp and security cameras and they work wonderfully with no disconnection or malfunction as others I have tried, really happy with this smart mini plugs. Meross app work extremely well and gets constant updates so they care about their products and customers and that is most important thing, I’m a happy new customer and going to replace everything to Meross in the near future. Thank you Meross A happy customer,

I started buying Meross Smart MiniPlugs about a year ago, attracted by their price, and a little nervous about their quality. I have found the MiniPlugs to be solidly built, relatively easy to set up, and have had no reliability issues. I also bought a smart wall switch and wall dimmer switch from Meross. Same good experience with both of those. Although I believe you can add these devices to Home without installing the Meross app, you will not be able to get upgraded firmware for the devices without having a Meross app and account. This is not a big issue - the app is free, and doesnt trouble you with notifications or junk mail, etc. Apple Home will tell you that a device update is available. You simply use the app, click update and its done. I bought another 4 mini plugs during a cyber Monday deal saving about $2 on each device. Even without the discount, these smart plugs are an excellent value.

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.

Work well with HomeKit. Better than previous smart plugs I had tried and returned. Sometimes they say “updating” and lag a bit but they work fine mostly
