meross Outdoor Smart Plug Compatible with Apple HomeKit, Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant and SmartThings, Waterproof WiFi Outdoor Outlet, Remote & Voice Control, Timer, FCC and ETL Certified

Setup was very easy using the Meross app. This device must be setup on a 2.4GHz WiFi network. Programming the device was quite easy with the app. Each outlet can be controlled separately or together. The Meross app is very responsive and has not failed over the course of 18 months on my other Meross devices. Syncing with Alexa, Google Assistant and IFTT was automatic. I have also easily added this device to a SmartThings hub. This wireless outlet is perfect for controlling outdoor lights. When not be used outdoors I plan on moving indoors to control a pair of lamps. All in all a great device at a very reasonable price.

Used outdoors for Christmas lights in Wisconsin, during which time it rained, snowed, and ranged from -10 to 50 degrees. Never lost connection with HomeKit and never needed to be manually reset. Green LED is a bit obnoxious, but thats the only issue.

I purchased this wifi enabled outlet to get ready for the holidays. We have inflatable scenes for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas and I was using a dusk to dawn outlet but I didnt like that it would be running ALL night.... nobody watches Christmas lights at 3am so when I found out Meross made one of this I got it right away. I have nothing but great experiences with their products (see one of my screenshots shows 4 different devices). I love the fact that you can control each outlet independently so its not all ON or all OFF at the same time. So if I want to plug my backyard patio hanging lights I can do it in the same plug and control them separately.

So far this outdoor switch has been working flawlessly. I have it connected to a string light and set up an automation to turn them on at dusk and off at dawn and it has been working exactly like I wanted. I’ve been using HomeKit devices since their inception and this was by far the easiest and smoothest to set up. It does only work on 2.4GHz networks, like a lot of HomeKit devices, but it has not been an issue. It’s also very nice that you can control both outlets independently on the Home app. I honestly did not expect that and although I don’t have a use for the other plug yet, I think it’s a great feature. Hopefully it holds up over time outdoors as I don’t know what I’d do without it now!

This is what I have been looking for to augment my HomeKit setup without breaking the bank. I have other Meross indoor plugs and bulbs and although they are cheaper than alternatives, in my experience they work equally as good or even better. The device is a lot smaller than I had anticipated but works like a champ. Setup was effortless and connectivity to HomeKit is superb. I don’t really care about this since I only control the device remotely, but there is only one button for both switches - so something to consider for those who like to occasionally use the physical buttons. Also the rubber covers for the plugs may interfere with plugs that are a little bit larger, but I was able to tuck mine aside. The pictures look like both outlets are covered up on the house outlet but it’s actually the outlet cover that needed to be flipped around - once done it only took up one outlet.

I use Apple HomeKit, everything I have is HomeKit compatible, and this works like a charm! I have an outside connected to my landscape lighting, and I have an automated to come on at sunset and go off at 2 AM, and it works perfect every single time! Great product, pretty good price! Works as advertised

Let me start with build quality. Its questionable. I ordered two. One came with an open crack between the two halves of the plastic body because the unit had not been assembled correctly. Fortunately, I was able to take it apart and re-assemble it. It is worth noting that there are no rubber gaskets or other seals to keep water out of the main housing. The two rubber outlet covers which were black in the product photos are actually yellow. They are very supple and seem to provide a good seal when inserted into the receptacles. (The only seal in the entire product.) However, when they are not inserted into the receptacles, they hang between the two receptacles from a very, very thin strip of rubber. It is not hard to imagine them getting accidentally torn off, but thats not even the biggest problem with them. It is almost impossible to plug in two cords at the same time because the products two receptacles are placed fairly close together and those hanging covers get in the way. You have to really pull the covers out of the way with some force to insert a second plug. It seems inevitable that the rubber covers will get torn off. If the designers had hung the covers in any other direction, this problem would have been averted. Similar products all get this right. Only meross gets it wrong. (Its worth noting that meross offers another version of this product—same model number but different housing—that does solve this problem...while creating another.) The biggest design hassle for me is the plug end of this product—the one that gets inserted into your AC receptacle. This is a product designed to be used outdoors. The designer should absolutely assume it is going to be plugged in inside a weather housing, yet meross drops the ball here too. The plug points down at a 90-degree angle. This means if you plug it into the top outlet, you cant use the bottom outlet. If you plug it into the bottom outlet, you cant close the door of the weather housing. If you want to use two of these units together, forget it. You cant. Attaching the cord to the plug at a 45-degree angle would have completely solved this problem. As is, there is no solution. So is there anything good about this product? Absolutely. It was easy to connect to HomeKit. Once you switch your iPhone over to the products ad hoc wifi signal while you set it up, everything works exactly like it should. And the product allows you to control each outlet independently. In fact, functionally, this product checks all the boxes. Unfortunately, its physical design is a deal killer.

I utilized this with Apples HomeKit software and for the most part it works exactly as advertised. Setup is easy and HK controls it very well. Since I had my Christmas lights hooked up to it I was able to have them come on at sundown and turn off at midnight. My only frustration was I had to reset it once due to some network issues and the support site for Meross is rather poorly designed. So took a bit of googling on my part to figure out how to reset the device.

I bought this in November to add to my portfolio of IoT devices, several of which are from Meross. It worked fine for a while but the Apple Home app will report every few days that it is not getting a response from this device. The Meross app, when this happens, can control it fine and reports wifi strength of 83%, and the other HomeKit devices are also fine so it looks like it is something between this particular device and the HomeKit Hub. Power cycling the plug restores functionality but it is a pain since the device is outside and is being used with automation.

I have been using a couple of these outdoors for a while and they work well. The QR Code faded out on both units. Meross send me the 8 digit code but I canoot regenerate the QU Code. So...Take a photo of the QR Code and number (or scan it) so you can make a new one WHEN the one on it fades out.
