Outdoor Smart Plug, Works with Apple HomeKit, Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, Refoss WiFi Outlet with 2 Grounded Sockets IP44 Waterproof, FCC & ETL Certified

Buyer beware. Setting this device up with the Apple Homekit did connect it to wifi but couldnt do anything further with it without the eHomeLife App that the user manual does NOT recommend using on an IOS device. Once the app was loaded and the account was created, I was then able to add the device and edit the name. Then the fun began of trying to integrate it with the Alexa app. Alexa wont find the device and when you try to use the eHomeLife skill, you cannot sign in because No such user error message. Appartently I am not the only one with this issue. There are 3 other apps for the same parent company Meross but none of them work. I will be returning this product.

The instructions says “not to use on pool pumps “ but on my .5hp pool pump works great

I didnt know the brand so I didnt have big expectations, but this device works perfectly. I was able to add it to HomeKit within 5 minutes from unboxing. Pleasantly surprised also that I can separately operate the two outlets.

Work for a while but then it started glitching and now it’s pretty much useless did not use for a long time disappointed of failure in system besides that ok product

eHomelife app is easy to use on the android phone. Easy to add the new plugs to the app. Works in the the home wi-fi and while outside the area.

Not the first “HomeKit” device I’ve had. Clearly no real integration.

5 stars because each outlet is individually controlled, which I wasn’t expecting, which made this an even better value. Set up with the Homekit App was easy and seamless. Only been in place for 1 day so durability is TBD.

I originally bought this to control some Christmas lights. However the wife range is so awful on this they shouldn’t call it outdoor plug, because outdoors it can barely maintain a connection. I have a Unifi business class network setup in my home, with multiple access points, and get 75% signal strength to the edges of my 3/4 acre property, but this switch can’t maintain connection to an AP that’s less than 15’ away diagonally. So they released firmware to “fix” the disconnect problem. I was stoked when I saw that. Only it didn’t really fix it. The connection still drops constantly, only now it reconnects. When I try to connect to the switch from my Home app it’s pure chance if it’s actually working, and not in “device is unresponsive” mode. Then if you wait 30 seconds, it miraculously comes back online for a minute or so, and then is unresponsive again. So I gave up trying to use it outside, and brought it in the house to control a pair of lamps in my living room. Even inside the house the max wifi signal strength I can get is around 76%, and merely rotating the switch 1/4 turn will drop that to the low 60s, even though the switch is in the same exact position, just rotated. Completely awful antenna arrangement. If I added this switch using the MeRoss app and didn’t select the HomeKit integration, it worked fine. But I bought it specifically to use with HomeKit. In closing, I’ve attached ZWave switches to HomeKit. via a software bridge, in a Docker container running on my NAS, and even THAT was easier than trying to get this switch to work and stay working. If I can’t turn my lights on or off the moment I want to, then any switch is useless to me. I recommend finding one that has better HomeKit integration, and better reception if you want a plug to use outdoors. Luckily I’m already mostly bald or I would have now after two months of trying everything to get this to work reliably.

Be aware that if your home wifi is 5.0 GHz, you may struggle to get this thing set up. We had to setup a separate 2.5 GHz network just for our smart plugs, which wasnt difficult for someone with a bit of know-how, but may be a barrier to some customers. Works perfectly once set up though! Homekit integration is great.

I like the way it’s for outdoors and it’s easier to link it with My Home Apple’s app but I got tired trying to link it to Alexa. In my case I had to change my wifi password and that messed it up
