I purchased these for the HomeKit integration, as Im sure most do. However, for a variety of reasons, Ive decided not to use HomeKit. The principle integration is with Alexa. All good, worked perfectly to control a fan. Then - one day - it simply stopped responding to Alexa. Ive done as much troubleshooting as Im able to, Ive removed the Meross app, reconnected it to Alexa, removed then found the device again, and I cannot get Alexa to work with it. Let me be more accurate: it works with the Alexa app (as it does with the Meross app), but verbal commands to Alexa simply cannot control this plug. I have Amazon and WeMo plugs that are responsive, so Im at a loss - and frustrated.

I had tried to do the smart bulbs for what seems like an eternity. I couldnt get it figured our. I happened across these. I didnt have high expectations because of the super low price. But why not? So I ordered a set. They work! I was so pleasantly surprised. They are easy to install, download the app, easy to integrate with alexa. Set a time for them to turn on and off. Easy peasy! Absolutely recommend!

they would be good if they… worked at least reliably. all the time i get no responce and have to delete it and re add the device back and put it back into everything it’s annoying and frustrating

It easy easy to install, and works great with Home. Have my lamp plugged in to it and can leave my light on in the living room until I get to my bedroom and then I can turn off the lamp

When it comes to cost and quality, these hit both. Setup was easy, it reacts really quick over HomeKit. Just wish it was a little smaller and closer to the wall.

I bought this to automate the lamp in my entry way. The price is low enough to be comfortable experimenting and not have lofty expectations. Setup was fairly easy between the brand’s app and the HomeKit QR codes. The second plug took a couple tries to pair but eventually worked. Now I have some iOS shortcut buttons (that I programmed) on my Home Screen for the lamps, Siri activation, and an automation that turns on the lamp when I arrive home after sunset and NOT when my partner is already home. Perfect.

This is a reasonably priced smart outlet I needed for our Apple HomeKit installation. The one huge drawback with it is that it can only be set up when paired on a 2.4 GHz wifi network. This required that the 5 GHz wifi band be turned off in our routers, which for us was very disruptive. It can be turned back on once the outlet is added to the HomeKit network, but upgrading the firmware update also seems to require the same change to the wifi network. I’ve yet to successfully update the firmware for this device, in spite of carefully following the provided instructions.

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

I purchased a 2 pack in November 2021. One of the devices stopped working within the 1 year warranty period. Contacted Meross support and they replaced it right away.

I bought these to just control a small lamp I have. My intention was to control them through HomeKit and was fairly disappointed. The initial setup wasnt that bad at all. However, once I started having connectivity/no response issues, trying to reset and setup again was such a pain and took multiple reset cycles and maybe 30 min. I found that if you manually unplug the device and plug it back in that it will magically start working super well... for a day or two. After a day or two of great performance, it completely goes unresponsive. In my experience, it doesnt degrade over that time and only responds sometimes, it just at some point decides to stop working completely. Its no more than 15 feet away from my WiFi source and I have changed my 2.4 network channel multiple times trying to find *anything* that will convince it to stay connected. I have tried both plugs and troubleshot both only to end in the same predictable result. I cannot guarantee that it will give you this much trouble if you decide to purchase this product, but do recommend possibly shopping around. I feel like this is one of the cases that you get what you pay for. Ill likely be trying out other slightly more expensive options and test my luck there. If I do land on something that performs well, I will try to remember to come back and update this review.
