First of all, these work great and Id certainly buy again. I got them because I have a few in-wall Meross dimmer switches, and figured why install another app! I ran into an issue during setup, but found a solution and wanted to make people aware here: I was able to add the switch in homekit and have it respond, but as soon as I tried to add it in the Meross app, it would restart, and not reconnect to Wifi (the light would just blink and blink). The solution? Be really patient! After resetting and restarting a bunch of times, I finally just paired with homekit, added in Meross, and WAITED. It sat there for over an hour blinking, then finally connected, appeared in the Meross app, and was able to install firmware updates. No further issues. TL;DR -- just let it sit!

I sent back my vocolincs because they wouldn’t stay connected despite all my efforts to troubleshoot. I got these, and did the firmware upgrade, and now I can use the Meross app and that seems to be working. HomeKit lost the connection after a few hours, but in Meross app all is fine. Plus I like that Meross has Apple Watch integration, whereas vocolinc didn’t. I’m just dipping my toe into the smart home world, don’t have a hub, and right now I just have one lamp on the network. Obviously there is a known issue with HomeKit dropping nearly all the Wi-Fi hub-free devices according to my research. But I’m ok with not having Siri and just pressing a button on my watch. Update: HomeKit is in and out of its own accord. I’ve done nothing to restore its link to the outlet, but it comes back on its own. Meross app is 100. Weird thing I discovered. My phone is back on 5Ghz radio after the initial 2.4Ghz setup, and yet HomeKit and Meross can turn the outlet on/off just fine now. When I first tried it, the app told me on I wasn’t connected. It is SO FREAKIN WEIRD that these things seem like they have a life of their own.

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.

Added very easy to HomeKit and works just as good as my wemo ones. No need to pay for the name when they do the same thing.

Great value for the money. Very fast delivery very good quality product, I shopped around and it was best for the quality and when I received it I’m 67 years old and it was easy to install

Overall, I love this product. However, one of my wireless plugs has hiccups occasionally and won’t respond in my Apple home hub, which is where I control my smart switches and plugs through. If I go through the Meross app it works fine though. A little frustrating but not the biggest deal. Plugs work well besides that one hiccup

Have a pair of these, using with Home app (Apple IOS). One was easy to set up, the second did not work for the longest time. Then a few days later, on perhaps the 8th attempt to set up, it finally updated into the Home app. Since then I find that I have about a 50% success rate where I open the Home app and they are both available to use. The other 50% of the time only one of them will be available, the other offline, or neither will be available. Sometime after a minute or two this problem will self-correct, but thats frustrating because it didnt work at the time you wanted to turn the outlet on or off. So... I will be on the look out for a solution that connects to wifi and the Home app, and remains connected reliably. Intermittent availability is no good.

Unresponsive didn’t work, but once I bought HomePod mini it did.

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.

They work great until there’s a firmware update—which is every couple months. Once a firmware update is available they stop responding until updated, which usually requires a factory reset and re-adding them to HomeKit.
