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.

For whatever reason, the first one in the package paired perfectly without any issues. The second one repeatedly failed to link to HomeKit. I emailed support and they responded with a list of troubleshooting steps. I tried all of them and none worked. Emailed support back and never heard anything else.

These plugs seem like simple, no-nonsense, classic Apple “it just works” compatible. Added 4 of these plugs and some LED bulbs via HomeKit within a few minutes. Totally painless. Works great with automations and Siri commands (zones/scenes/etc.). Zero problems, very happy for the price. Have an outdoor plug I haven’t played with yet. Have been using Meross’ garage door opener for 1.5 years with no issues and just moved into a remodeled home I want to take a first plunge into home automation with. So far I’m not disappointed.

This plug works well with HomeKit and easy to install.

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

These were very difficult to connect to the app, sometimes they were detected, sometimes not. The app also didnt seem secure, it didnt mask my password and saved to my typing suggestions which was a big red flag. The app also left much to be desired.

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.

My only issue with this product is it seems to hold a charge when plugged in so it burnt out one of my led strips.

I have about 3-4 brands of smart outlets and this is the only one that trips my GCFI outlet (inside a powered shed). When triggered via HomeKit it immediately trips the GCFI circuit whether a load is plugged into it or not. Works get on non-GCFI outlets though.

I was looking for a compatible Apple HomeKit plug that I could use for my home office connectivity. I have a Work From Home router that connects back to my corporate network with wireless connectivity. I didnt want the WFH router to be available during non-working hours. I purchased a two pack of the Meross plugs and was surprised with how simple it was. I was able to add the plug through the HomeKit app without a 3rd part app download. I didnt have big challenges with the 2.4/5GHz interoperability you sometimes see with smart plugs. Many times this comes from your device being on the 5GHz and the HomeKit device not honoring because of 2.4GHz use only. Its been connected now for about 4 weeks with no issues. Ive lost power in the house once and the device came back to HomeKit when power was restored. I use automation to turn off and on the connected device during work hours.
