Meross Smart Plug Mini, 15A & Reliable Wi-Fi, Support Apple HomeKit, Siri, Alexa, Echo, Google Assistant and Nest Hub, App Control, Timer, No Hub Needed, 2.4G WiFi Only, 2 pack

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

Was able to set up both Meross plugs within 10 minutes. I just used the Apple Home app and didn’t bother installing the Meross app! Context: I had tried another brand (VOCOlink) before this and spent over an hour and failed to install those plugs. Had to return them. So, this brand seems to be more reliable.

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.

An easy to use, inexpensive way to get started with HomeKit. This little smart plug is easy to set up on iOS: Launch the Home app, click the +, choose Add Accessory and scan the barcode. Ensure the smart plug is plugged in and it should show up, ready to give it a name and icon and start turning your item on and off. I purchased the two pack to control a lamp in my office and one in my wifes sewing room. Once it is set up in the Home app, you can use Siri to control it or create Apple Shortcuts for more advance automation. I named mine Office Lamp, and I can just use my watch or phone and say turn on my office lamp, etc. You can do a lot more with automations and shortcuts. I would recommend these to someone getting into home automation. I liked these so much I ordered another 2-pack.

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 have six of these now, and every week theres one I have to go hunt down, unplug, and replug because its crashed. This is the opposite of convenience. Also, as soon as you get them, they want a software update, for which you have to go get their app to apply and make an account and all that. Bleah. On the positive side, they show up right away in HomeKit and work without the 3rd part app just fine as long as they havent crashed.

I use these with Apple HomePod. Setup was easy—don’t bother with the manufacturer app, just use the Home app on your iPhone

When I attempted to install the device, SmartThings needed my login to the app. I stopped at this point because I dont want to install an app to get thus connected to SmartThings

I recently purchased the Meross Smart Plug Mini, and I have to say, Im thoroughly impressed with this product. Not only does it offer an impressive range of features, but its also incredibly reliable and stable within my HomeKit network. One of the things I love most about this smart plug is how easy it was to set up. All I had to do was download the Meross app, connect the plug to my Wi-Fi network, and voila - it was ready to use. From there, I was able to control the plug using the app, as well as through Siri, Alexa, Echo, Google Assistant, and Nest Hub. Its incredibly convenient to be able to control my devices with my voice, and I love that I can do it all from one app. The reliability of these smart plugs is also really impressive. I have over 50 devices in my HomeKit network, and these plugs have never given me any issues or dropped connections. They always work exactly as intended, which is a huge plus. Another great feature of these smart plugs is the timer function. I love being able to set a schedule for my devices to turn on and off, which saves me time and energy. Its also helpful for when Im away from home and want to give the impression that someone is still there. Overall, I would highly recommend the Meross Smart Plug Mini to anyone looking for a reliable and versatile smart plug. Its easy to use, works with a variety of voice assistants, and is incredibly stable within a large HomeKit network. Whether youre a smart home enthusiast or just looking for an easier way to control your devices, this product is definitely worth considering.

These things worked GREAT! They have been really solid, and I love the additional button on them for manual control (it essentially acts like an on/off switch so you dont HAVE to use HomeKit / Siri / Automations to use them. I can appreciate when smart home devices dont get in the way of doing things. They should only make things easier, and thats exactly what these switches do! If you really truly only need one controllable outlet, then these are a great value and truly reliable. Having said that, Meross offers a similar product for only a few dollars more that gives you two independently controllable outlets in one, and when I saw those, I bought a bunch of them.
