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

Easy set up. Works great!

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.

Im switching many of my remote devices to Meross. A landscaper put in an off-brand timer for my yard lights - hard to setup and failed after a year. My Meross one bought the same time is great! Bought another to replace the off brand one and have everything in one app. Way better!

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.

Connected quickly to Wi-Fi and preforms perfectly.

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

I purchased this to use on outdoor porch for a strand of lights that ran the perimeter. Although the porch is exposed to elements the plug was against the wall under a four foot overhang. Its incredibly convenient to have Alexa turn the lights on/off and it can easily be controlled by phone app when Im away in order to give appearance of someone home. Although my product stopped working outside the 30 days to return it was within the one year warranty. Fiona in customer service could not have been easier to work with. It was all online through email but she and her team completely took care of me and expedited a new unit at no cost to me under their one year warranty. Sometimes it is like pulling teeth to get help, not with Meross, job well done!!!

Im reasonably impressed with the Meross products that include an outdoor switch for deck lights, garage door interface to the opener, and mini smart switches. Meross has its own App and skill that works well. I encountered problems when the deck became unresponsive, and opener instructions contained an error. It was very difficult to contact support. Id rate that one star only. I finally resolved problems with YouTube and searches.

Works as expected!

This was easy to hook up to my wifi and I added it to my outdoor light scene easily. I actually added if for my Christmas lights and added a color changing LED flood light. I decided to keep it up year round. The two outlet independent setup is great. Great purchase.
