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

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.

The Smart plug worked well. I was using an indoor smart plug outside and the wifi signal was too weak to activate. I replaced with this outdoor smart plug and immediately the issue resolved. it did the job well!

I purchased one of these for my daughter to use for her outdoor fall decorations. She found it so useful and easy to install that I decided to purchase one for myself to use for outdoor Christmas decorations. I plugged it in, downloaded the app, connected to wifi and set the timer. It has worked flawlessly. I would definitely recommend this product!

Easy to set up and once I started using I ordered a second one for the backyard. Great for controlling outside holiday decorations.

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.

I also have the meross garage control and indoor plugs so I already have the app. I also have WeMo and Wink products. Meross is a better bargain and the apps works better. It does not require a hub and the Alexa integration is good. the app itself is very powerful so if you do not have google assistant or alexa it will still be awesome. I have an android phone so my experience is with the android app. Setup was very easy. All you do is plug in outlet and click the + symbol in the app and it finds the plug and the wizard guides you through everything. If I had it to do all over again I would only buy Meross to save money and so I only need one app. I hope meross makes more outlets and switches and continues to offer them at such reasonable prices

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.

Update - October 27, 2022. Unfortunately, my excitement with this plug was short-lived. It has an exceptionally poor ability to stay connected to Wi-Fi, even when plugged in next to a router for testing. It would stay connected maybe 24 hours, and then disconnect, failing to reconnect. There has been one firmware update to address Wi-Fi stability since I received this, but it has failed to resolve the problem. So the potential is there, but until this issue is resolved I cannot recommend it. Original review below: So I picked up some LED string lights on Amazon, but, as with most string lights, you plug them in to turn them on, and unplug them to turn them off. I am a lazy human, and do not wish to do this. First, it means I have to leave my rooftop deck in the dark, and secondly it means Id fall down the stairs. Neither of these scenarios are appealing. So enter the Meross Smart Dimmer Plug, - with HomeKit support! Perfect. Plug string lights into Meross plug, and then plug the Meross into the outlet. Then it was just a case of using the Meross app/HomeKit to add the plug, and done! This supports dimming, which I was glad to see my string lights do, too. Excellent product, easy to set up, and well-priced, too. 5 out of 5. Love it.

For those of you having difficulty getting this smart plug to work on your router or need a Mac Address to connect it to your router, check to see if Mac Filtering is enabled on your router. It may have a similar name other than Mac Filtering, but you will need to disable it. Once disable, go through the instructions on the Merross app on your smart phone or iPhone to install the smart plug. Once it is installed (shouldnt take long), you can go to the plug in the app and get the plug info from the app... the Mac Address will be there. Then you can add the Mac Address to your router filter, enable Mac Filtering on the router and then it will take a few minutes, but you should be good to go. Its a hassle, but it works. For those using Alexa, I havent figured that part out yet, but it still needs to be installed first using the instructions above before you can add it to your Alexa.

My Xmas laser lights have a 6 hour timer - I can use an Alexa routine to reset the plug & have the lights on all night - yay!
