Bought two of these to operate my landscape lighting. I just turn on my transformers, plug them into this plug and set up automation in my Home app. Love that they integrate well with HomeKit.

Very easy setup through product app, connects to wifi easily and is immediately response. Ability to control each outlet individually, and can setup timers/regular lighting functions. Havent tested out Alexa function, not necessary yet, but will try soon. Really happy with it.

Stated to be compatible with Alexa but requires a smart cell phone to program it. Obviously, I do not have a smart phone.

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.

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!

Very simple to set up. Each outlet has its own control. I dont really need the Alexa integration, but I mostly got it for the custom settings it has. I can turn outside lights any amount of time before sunset, and then off at a specific time. not like those one that make you choose between 2, 4, or 6 hours later. No more resetting timers for me! The Alexa integration is simple and works like a charm. If you are not using Apples Homekit, get this one. Its the same thing, but less expensive.

I use this to control a string of outdoor lights. It works well, plays well with HomeKit. It did take 3 resets upon receiving the device ti get it to successfully pair to HomeKit, but once paired, works great.

This handy device is just what the doctor ordered for our outdoor Christmas lights. In the past we have used a timer with a dusk sensor. The problem was when a cars headlights hit the sensor it would shut off the Christmas lights, thinking it was daytime. We also had a problem with our outdoor lights, and our spotlights, fooling the sensor. This device, being connected to the internet, knows when sunset is, so it bases its schedule on that rather than a light sensor. It has worked like a champ. Setup was fairly simple if you follow the directions carefully (I didnt at first). I havent tested Google Assistant nor Alexa functionality so I cant comment on that. Weve had it outside for several weeks and it has performed flawlessly.

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.

I put this in my hoop house, and use it to run a space heater set on a temperature-triggered schedule. The Meross to SmartThings integration took a few minutes to side up, but ever since then it’s worked flawlessly.
