I bought this to control a pond pump outside. In my experience the thing that distinguishes Meross wireless switches from others is the ease and peace-of-mind of connecting it to your wireless network. First you install the Meross app on your phone (in my case an iPhone). When the switch receives power for the first time, it creates its own temporary local WiFi network whose name will be something like Meross_SW_abc123. You connect your phones wifi to this network, and the Meross app connects to the switch over that network. Then you tell the app which home network you want the switch to connect to under normal operation, and the password for that network. And then youre done. For folks like me, who want to be careful to keep their smart devices on a separate Guest network because you dont 100% trust them and dont want them to be able to talk to your home intranet, this setup lets you do that. You never have to enter in your main home network credentials. This is in contrast to some other smart switches Ive seen that are very unclear about which network they need and why. The WiFi signal is good too. My switch is plugged in outside about 100 feet from the router. According the the Meross app the signal strength is at 20%. But I havent had any problems controlling it.

3rd meross device in my house. Works good and does its job well. Very easy to install. Integration with Google home is perfect - no issues with controlling the plug from Google home application or using Google assistant voice commands.

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!

Homekit compatible smart plugs in general were expensive compared to non-Homekit years ago. This has changed, yes, still more expensive. But to not have to use multiple smart apps for each switch is a mental life-saver. Setup was easy scanning the QR code and adding it to the Home app. I did download the Meross app after and if you allow it to connect to your network it will find the plug to see if there are any firmware updates without having to setup the dimmer in the Meross app. So good, I bought a second one for future light additions.

The first plug I received didn’t work at all and came with zero instructions. The replacement works, but when I follow the instructions it won’t pair with the merros app, but will work with apple home for about 30 minutes. After that it’ll say “No response”. The plug is literally in my kitchen not more than 20’ from the WiFi and I have very good wifi. My phone is a iPhone 13 Pro Max and it’s updated. This plug is a total waste of time and money. I’m in my 20’s, technologically advanced, and I’ve spent hours trying to figure it out. It’s very frustrating and I’m gonna go back to my old fashion timer that plugs into the wall.

Tried the set up for 20+ minutes. Makes you down load the google assistant app and then their app but then you can’t connect the two. I’m returning it. 2nd dimmer I bought from Amazon that I’m returning.

Was hard to get it to link with my wifi once you get pass the long process of trying to pair it to your wifi network. It works great.

It works like it’s supposed to

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

Worked great for a month. Then it stopped working. Customer support is not supportive.
