meross Outdoor Smart Plug, Outdoor Wi-Fi Outlet with 2 Grounded Outlets, Remote Control, Timer, Waterproof, Works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, 2.4Ghz only, FCC Certified, Non-HK

The quality is as pictured - its really good. However, setup was not fun. Put it this way: I bought an amazon smart plug. I plugged it in, Alexa discovered it automatically, and I was in business. This plug requires you to install a third party app, create an account, set up your plug, and link a skill with Alexa. For me, the linking process kept erroring out on me, to the point I got frustrated, removed the third party app, and decided to return the plug. However, the next day, I reinstalled the app and power cycled my echo, and everything just worked. So...Im keeping it. Youll see THREE smart plugs in your Alexa app. One for the main device, and one for each plug (there are two). You can manipulate any of them with your Alexa/Echo. Now that its installed, Im happy with what I got - Alexa voice control for outdoor patio string lights. But it was a big pain to get it working.

As you can see, the functionality is amazing. My only issue is I thought it would be a bit more water resistant. A few bouts of sideways rain kind of made my GFCI trip. I bought it for that as much as the integration which is why it gets four stars. Other then that, setting up the plug was an absolute breeze and having it be integrated with the rest of my smart home was just as easy. Really helped with keeping the electric bill down during the holidays.

This is my second meross product after their smart plugs. I plugged it in, pressed the + sign on the app, chose smart outdoor plug and Next and it was installed. it automatically integrated into my Alexa Meross devices. The whole process was painless. Each outlet can be individually addressed or both together. I moved it outside, plugged in my outdoor lighting and immediate connection to my network and the socet powered on and off perfectly. Now, will it last over time? Dont know, but for starters it is a 5 star device but 4 because it is not the least expensive out there.

It does and is everything it claims to be and appears sturdy and well made. A 5th start if they figure out a better way to protect the plugs when not being used. The current solution is a rubber insert (like a child-protection plug) that is connected between the plugs. When 1 plug is in use, its fine, but when you attempt to plug in a 2nd plug, the rubber protectors make it much harder than it should be. It DOES work...but not as well as it could.

Once again, a search for “outdoor dimmer smart plug” turns up a product that doesn’t actually dim. Product is great - works for what it is - a smart on/off plug. Exchanging. C’mon Amazon you’re killing me.

This review is for the 2nd generation of this product, which is smaller and rounded. There appear to be reviews from both generations mixed together. Overall the plug works great as advertised. I used it on some Christmas lights. Its worth noting that the plug covers may not be the nice black ones pictured. The unit I got had the ugly yellow covers that are shown on the HomeKit version. I emailed the manufacture and they said that even if they did replace the unit, there is no way to guarantee I wouldnt get another unit with the same covers. Not a huge deal, but still not quite as advertised.

I purchases 2 of these plugs to time my outdoor lights for the holidays. They worked great, allowing me to set on and off groups that worked with both units. I could have worked with each plug in the unit separately which I think is quite unique. Havent tried the Alexa integration but I see no reason it wouldnt work well there too.

I have the (5) Feit Electric String lights in my yard and I have them connected to an outlet via the Treatlife smart dimmer until now. However, the smart dimmer plug a low voltage issue where the lights randomly flash when they are turned off annoying the neighbors at night. Also, it was connected to HomeKit via homebridge. Then came this little piece of genius which solved all my issues and has a very wide dimming range as a bonus, if you are into HomeKit and looking for a plug in dimmer, this is it!

It took a bit to get set up. First, I believe it was an error I made. I use a VPN and spent about an hour trying to get the dinner to add to the app. After a bit I realized I had installed the dimmer after I enstalled the other Meeoss switches and outlets t use. Once I disconnected the VPN. Boom. Works like a champ. I have 3 stars to the easy to install as a single sentence turn off VPN prior to trying to connect would have saved a lot of time. Overall it is a good product at a great price. Thanks

This is awesome! I love this! You can dim your lights, tell Alexa to turn in or off your lights (including Siri). Easy set up, highly recommend!
