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

This plug and app was easy to install. I needed an electrical source that would come on at midnight and shut off at 8am. This one does that perfectly every time. Additionally, should I want to use the plug temporarily for something else, I can accomplish that by just pressing the button on the plug, then pressing it again when I am finished so it can go back into its pre-programmed routine.

I liked everything about it

Pedi este producto basado en que funcionaria con Alexa, lo cual no es cierto; nisiquera fue posible conectarlo al Wiffii que es lo más sencillo, vivo en un pequeño apartamento y lo quería usar para mi balcón asi que no era mucho la distancia que había desde el Router hasta el enchufle de afuera... El precio es demasiado caro para ser un ENCHUFLE más

I use it once a year for Xmas lights. Goes on at sunset, off at 11:00.

I was able to configure this quickly and setup a test in my front lawn and back lawn outlets. Both tests show that I can control these easily with the app on my phone. Each outlet can be separately turned off and on using the app or Alexa voice commands.

I set my Eero network temporarily to 2.4 ghz, and the Meross smart dimmer plug installed without any problems. It also connected fine to HomeKit. While the Meross plug didnt connect right away to Alexa, after the 10 minute period where Eero was on the slower 2.4 ghz network, the Meross plug immediately connected to Alexa as soon as Eero was back to 5 ghz. Based on other reviews, I was worried Id have setup problems. But no problems at all. So far all good. I had previously been using a TP-Link Kasa smart dimmer, which was ok but which had no HomeKit support. I need both HomeKit and Alexa support, so thats why I tried the Meross. There is, however, one problem. The Meross will not dim my 5-bulb LED lamp as low as the Kasa dimmer. I updated firmware and ran the compatibly test in the Meross app and set the minimum brightness to 1%. Even at that setting, it is much brighter than the Kasa dimmer at 1%. At the same time, when the Kasa dimmer was set to 1%, the lamp wouldnt turn on, so thats not great either. I had to turn the Kasa dimmer to 10% to get the lamp to turn on, and then dim it down to 1%. But even at 10%, the Kasa dimmer is less bright than the Meross at 1%. So, I am dinging the Meross dimmer 1 point for not being able to dim as low as the Kasa. But, there are very few HomeKit + Alexa compatible smart dimmers that support lamps with a 3-prong plug: Meross and the poorly reviewed and more $$$ Legrand. Lutrons smart dimmer would work except it only handles 2-prong lamps. If you want HomeKit and Alexa integration, and you can accept the limitation of not being able to dim LED bulbs as far down as other dimmers, the Meross is hard to beat, especially for the price.

I really like Meross. This is probably the 5th or 6th product that I’ve purchased from this brand. Like every other purchase, this smart outdoor outlet is easily set up in a minute or two, and integrates seamlessly with my other Meross products via the app. (no problems with the app either, yay!) I used this for my Christmas lights and blow up Olaf yard deco so I don’t have to go in and out every evening and unplug before I go to bed. Giving 4 stars out of 5 because the rubber socket cover gets in the way when you have two cords plugged in at once so I had to rip it off.

I have had the outdoor switch running now for a couple months with no issues. BTW, kudos to Meross for great customer support. A dimmer switch (MSS560) purchased in May, 2019 became intermittent in February 2020 and then failed to connect but still worked manually. I contacted Meross customer support with an offer to send the switch back for troubleshooting if they were interested in doing a teardown not expecting anything else. I was told that warranty was for one year and if I would email an Amazon receipt they would send a replacement. The replacement arrived and is working fine. I did not even have to send the failed switch back. I have multiple Meross Smart Switches in our house working now for over a year and this was the first and only failure.

Works as described
