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!

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.

I have 4 of these outlets; about every 2 months, half to all of them stop working and cant be reached. Then in order to reinstall them, the normal Homekit install process doesnt work and you have to join the device wifi network and install each one manually. Nevertheless, this seems to be the only real option for controlling outlets and works most of the time.

As long as you’re using a 2.4 ghz it’s so easy to install. Use them for a light, candle, Christmas tree, etc! Can be a little bulky depending if you have furniture behind the outlet but overall no complaints. Led on the unit as well as a button is a bonus. I have everything setup on automation, it’s pretty neat stuff if you’re trying to start on your smart home on a budget!

These are easy to set up. I especially like that I can access them through the app when I am away from home to turn lights on or off. I definitely recommend them.

After about two weeks two of the outlets just stopped working. Completely offline. I tried to reset and re-install. One worked, the other didnt. Emailed the company. They did email me back and asked for additional information. I replied to their email, but it bounced back, numerous times. I then tried submitting a new claim through their web site with no response. Bad service and apparently not a very good product. Would not buy again. Update: The company did finally get back to me (from my re-submittal to their web site). To their credit, they did send me a replacement outlet. But since then, things have been bizarre. Support has emailed me several times, but every time I try to reply to the support email, it continues to bounce back. First they contacted me asking for me to send them the MAC address of the defective device. Since the MAC address isnt written on the device, the only want to know it is to view the information when connected to a network. Considering that my complaint was that the device fell offline and wouldnt connect to the network, there would be no way to do this. Honestly, it felt like a test to see if I was trying to scam them. Later they asked me to send the defective device back to them and they would reimburse me for shipping. I replied to their email and indicated Id be happy to send it back if they send me a pre-paid shipping label. Of course that email bounced back. There are several things wrong with this. First, Ive never heard of a company offering to reimburse for shipping. Reputable companies who want their product back pre-pay shipping. Secondly, since I apparently have no way to contact them, even if I trusted that Id be reimbursed (which I dont), I have no way to contact them with the reimbursement amount since their email doesnt appear to work. That happened a few weeks ago. This morning I received another email, asking me to send the device back and they would reimburse my Payal. I bought these throgh Amazon, not Paypal, so they dont have my PayPal info, nor is there any way to get it to them. To top things off, another outlet failed after lasting about an hour. It just randomly fell offline. Another thing Ive noticed is that with about half of the devices, if youre using an apple device (iPhone, iPad) to set it up, even if you selected the non Homekit option, you still have to use Homekit, even if you just want to control the device through the Meross app or one of the other supposedly supported apps (like Smarthings). Im not going to even bother trying to replace this new defective device. Its just not worth the hassle and the harassment from this really strange company.

I bought those outlets because it says that it is compatible with Apple Homekit. I thought it will be integrated into the Apple system as smoothly as all my Apple products, but I am wrong. There is a lot of frustration when installing the outlets. I have to reset two of them multiple times to add them to Apple Home. It took me almost an hour to eventually add all four outlets to Apple Home. (Connecting to its own app is smooth though.) For now, the outlets are working as expected. They are also compact. So I am still giving out four stars even after the frustrating installation.

I got these smart plugs to allow my parent’s to turn on some lights in their home using Siri. I was prepared with an older router to clone the details of their Google Internet mesh setup to allow the devices to connect to a 2.4ghz network for the initial setup (because so many smart plugs and devices out there are annoying in that they cannot setup directly onto a 5ghz network). I am VERY HAPPY to report that the Apple Kit setup option through the Meross app allowed me to SKIP ALL THAT! It is surprisingly nice when things work the way they should. Thank you to Meross for making a smart plug that is easy to setup on a Google mesh network (directly!). I’ve already ordered a second batch for my own home and will be trying one of their bulb products as well.

Pro: size - two plugs easily fit in a standard double outlet and on standard size power strip (on compact strips you would still be able to fit a two-prong plug next to it.) This is a huge improvement over the old TP-link plug that took up 2 spaces on my power strip even when it was placed on the top (see picture.) Operation & Integration - once connected the plug just work. I quickly forgot that they werent always there; waiting for my command. I can turn off all the lights in the house from the iphone flip-up screen. Installation - Like a lot of Meross products, the plug has EZ mode and AP mode. The detail instruction sheet takes you through EZ mode. However, the plugs were all in AP mode (slow blink) and I could not get it to blink fast even after 3 resets. Once you get over the fact that the instruction sheet is quite unhelpful and follow the instructions below, and you will find that installation is a breeze. 1. Plug it in. Make sure that the light blinks green/amber. If its steady green, as in a previous setup, press and hold the button for 5 seconds to get it into setup mode. 2. on you iPhone, go to Settings | Wireless. wait a few seconds until the plug shows up under the heading set up new device... The name is meross_sw_B210 or something similar... Click on it. 3. You now get a message that allows you to Add to Home & Wi-Fi (see picture.) Smash that link to turn on the camera and scan the top of the plug to add it into Homekit. 4. After about 30 seconds Homekit allows you to select the room and name of the new device. The phone automatically switch back to you home wireless network. cons: Not a huge issue, but the position of the button on the side of the plug could be challenging to your less techie household members. The ability to share homekit settings with everyone can mitigate the issue, but Im a bit concern that Ill get a talking-to the next time my wife tries to turn on the floor lamp in the den. I have a couple of floor lamps and my Roku device connected to plugs. No more having to get up to manually reset Roku. A voice command to Alexa does the trick. The 4th plug is connected to my electric tea kettle to schedule it for my morning brew (until I get a smart tea kettle, but thats a battle for another day.)

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.
