Fairly easy to set up, work great once they are.

Didnt want to connect and set up at first. Took three tries.

After not being able to install the plug on two separate occasions I gave it a 1 star rating; however after working with the vendor I was able to successfully install the plug. I now give it a 4 star rating.

I’ve been using these for about 3 months now to control my exterior patio lights. They started out great with easy setup and fast connection via HomeKit. They stayed connected well until the temperatures here in Minnesota started dropping below freezing. To be fair, the description does say these are only rated for use above 32F… but I have multiple other smart accessories (plugs, bulbs, doorbell, cameras, etc) from more well known brands that have had the same (or worse) exposure to the cold and are still operating just fine. Additionally, updating these plugs is kinda wonky and buggy in my experience.

These are the first smart plugs Ive tried and so far they are great and I plan on buying more. I bought these because they worked with Apple HomeKit and the first one I tried to set up caused a little bit of difficulty. I managed to get it to work within the app before I made it work with home kit but otherwise once it did work with homekit everything went well. I used one for the lamp my fan in the living room and everything is working. There were no problems with the wifi, they connected instantly. If youre really into things that expand the use for HomeKit these are perfect. And the price is perfect for a pack of two instead of buying only one of the more expensive plugs these are the ones to go to. And i think that the clicking sound to make sure that they turn on is pretty cool. I look forward to more homekit Meross products.

I use Apple HomeKit as my hub, so the selection of supported devices is somewhat limited (although appears to be getting better). For Smart Plugs, I have been using Koogeek: -- I have used them for years -- I have about 10 of them I needed a few more Smart Plugs, and I was happy to see some relatively cheap options. After reading the reviews, I decided to try the Meross Smart Plug Mini. I am not disappointed. -- The price was pretty good at about $12 apiece. -- The plugs are well-built and straightforward. -- The form factor of the plugs is good. They do not cover up neighboring outlets. -- Installation was simple once I read the directions. A couple of tips: a) Make sure you install the Meross App and grant it permissions before you begin. (You will want to use the App to update the firmware of the devices.) b) Make sure to connect to your 2.4GHz band. c) Installation involves connecting to both the 2.4GHz band as well as a config network provided by the device. If you have multiple networks, make sure to turn off AutoJoin on all but the desired 2.4GHz band. d) You may have issues if your 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands share the same network name. I bought four of these plugs. After I figured out the above (which took me about 10-15 minutes), I was able to set up all four of my devices in about 10 minutes. They work great - and they can be grouped with my Koogeek switches as well. Very pleased so far. I will update this review if I experience any problems in the future, but at this point I would recommend these smart plugs.

I bought the Meross plugs on a whim. These plugs have been a game changer for me. The plugs are easy to setup and connect to Apple Home App. Automation has been a breeze to create with the Home App. I will buy more!

I really like these. I ordered a 2 pack and everything was easy to connect and set up. I already had the Meross app with an account set up. The only problem I had was a routine I set up in the app would not work until I enabled location. The routine works now.

Setup can be a bit of a pain. It often times fails and you have to factory reset the plug to try pairing it again. I turn my internet off at night (better sleep), and when it comes on in the morning these plugs won’t reconnect. They say “No Response” in the Home app (HomeKit). Interestingly enough, some of Meross’s other products (like smart lights) will reconnect in the morning without issue. But a bug in these plugs seems to be causing a crash internally and is only recoverable by physically pulling each plug from the wall socket and plugging in again. Not quite ideal for a smart home setup until this is fixed with a firmware update :(

These are working fine after a little experimentation. You plug them in and scan the barcode with your iPhone, and thats it. Except HomeKit reports theres a firmware update you need the Meross app to apply. I suspect thats just to get you to install the app. It was working fine without the update. Once added to their app you can apply the firmware, but that made them much less reliable. I ended up unpairing them from both systems, uninstalling the app and starting over in HomeKit. After that theyve been fine. It was a bit of a hassle-- pick one platform and stick to it. UPDATE: After a few weeks I have to subtract a star. At least twice a week Ill get Automation failed ... Accessory is not reachable. If youre controlling your holiday decorations fine, but dont use these for anything important. UPDATE 2: After using these for about 5 months now, I have to knock them down to 2 stars. Theyre just too unreliable. If triggered manually they usually function immediately, but often dont report their status to HomeKit so your phone has the warning icon. When run via automation its a coin toss if it will work. I have a strong Wifi connection, a 2020 iPad acting as a HomeKit hub, the firmware was updated-- no excuses. These are just mediocre at best, and quite frustrating.
