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, 3 Pack

A pretty decent plug overall. It works fine when it works I had trouble setting up one of the plugs. It wouldn’t connect to homkekit. But the other two worked fine. I gave up on the weird one after a while since I only really needed to use two at the time. The size is more bulky but Not as long as the wemo ones. The price is great. I also like how the homekit sticker is on the outside.

I think its fair to include my original review below. However, my issues have since been resolved. I will give 4 stars because now that all the devices are working, they do the job exactly as expected. It should be noted that I left my previous review after multiple weeks of repeated troubleshooting, using multiple devices. The one that did set up correctly was set up weirdly and not according to the simple setup instructions. The other two would not configure through the Home app no matter how I tried. After completely giving up, weeks later, I finally received a reply from Meross Support via email. The reply offered absolutely no additional insight and simply re-iterated troubleshooting steps Id already tried. Nevertheless, I decided to try setup again, as theyd asked for a screen recording of the process to aid in troubleshooting. This time, however, both devices which could not be setup previously completed setup through the Home app simply and flawlessly. Literally, the only thing that has changed is that time has passed. But... as things stand, theyre now working as advertised and I no longer need to troubleshoot these. Original review: I purchased this three pack and have only been able to set up one of them. Even that one was tricky, but it behaved differently than the other two. None of them would set up in the Home app initially. Every time, Home fails to add them. For the one that worked, I was able to join my phone to the devices’s WiFi network and set up through the Meross app. Once in the Meross app, it set up through the Home app just fine. The other two force setup through the Home app only and will not complete set up no matter how I try. I have used multiple devices, with different versions of iOS to try this. THEN I reached out to Meross support. TWICE. NO ANSWER. ITS BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE THE INITIAL REQUEST. I will never, ever purchase from Meross again. AVOID this company.

Buggy. Requires registering with your email address to use app or update firmware. Switches power on and off multiple times during setup. Loses automations when updating the firmware. Doesn’t see HomeKit devices without adding to the app multiple times. Loses connection to WiFi when router reboots. Lacks power usage meter feature common on competing HomeKit power plugs.

Overall, I am pretty satisfied with these WiFi outlets - except for the one that doesnt seem to work. They are fairly simple to set up (Download the app, hold the on/off button for a few seconds, join the outlets WiFi network, and you are pretty much done. Then, you can easily add the outlet to Apple Home Kit (which Ive found to be very flakey) or Google Home (I dont have any Amazon home automation). And they just work - 2 out of 3 aint too bad.

Bought the 3 pack. One worked initially but then stopped connecting to network. After reseting it will not add to HomeKit anymore. Same problem on all of them. Dont buy.

I own several different smart plug varieties from numerous different vendors. The first thing that I noticed upon taking the Meross Smart Plug Mini out of the box was its weight - it feels more solid and well-made than most of the competitors plugs. However, the size is just right - I have a couple of other smart plugs that block the second outlet when being used, or protrude significantly away from the outlet. The Meross Smart Plug Mini does neither, meaning the other outlet is still usable. Pairing with SmartThings was not quite as straight-forward as with the Z-Wave Plus (or even Zigbee) plugs that I have, but I find this to be the case with most Wifi versions. When I opened up the Meross app to pair and add the plugs on my iPhone, for whatever reason, it defaults to the Apple Home app to continue setting up the plug. I dont use Homekit, personally, because so few devices are Homekit certified - so this was a minor annoyance. I could not find a way to complete the setup in Meross without first doing so in the Home app... However, once the device was configured in the Home app, it did appear in the Meross app. I had previously linked my Meross account with SmartThings, so once I opened SmartThings, each of the three Meross Smart Plug Mini devices showed up in SmartThings, and can now be used in Routines/Automations, added to the proper Room, etc. Because I have SmartThings linked to Alexa, I choose not to link Meross directly to Alexa (otherwise Duplicate devices appear), but I have no doubt that this would work seamlessly as well. I would recommend, and certainly would not hesitate to purchase additional Smart Plug Minis from Meross in the future if I have a need for more.

Meross Smart Plug Mini 16A They have been great so far! I’ve only had them for a few days so I can’t speak to longevity, but they definitely do their job. I bought these to use with an Apple TV, for home automation. The setup could not be simpler: (1) Plug it into an outlet (2) Open the Apple Home app on phone, click ‘add’ from the home screen to add a new accessory (3) Scan the QR Code on the plug. No additional hubs or anything are required, they just work with HomeKit, right out of the box. The size is just right - I can fit 2 of them, or one of these plugs and something else - into a single outlet. They do require 3-prong outlets, so a 2 prong extension cord is not compatible. Though, you probably shouldn’t use these with extension cords anyway.

I wanted reasonably priced smart plugs that are compatible with HomeKit. This 3-Pack fits the bill and it was the same brand of smart power strip I had previously bought that simply just works. If I had to nitpick I’d wish they’d make low profile smart plug.

I love that these affordable smart outlets are easily compatible with HomeKit. Making your home and appliances smarter with these is so easy! The Meross app is also decently designed, which makes a lot of the initial setup a snap

Set up was a bit of a pain other than that works well
