I’ve had their bigger plugs work really well before, I saw no reason these smaller versions won’t work just as well, and that they did. The meross app saw the smart plugs really quick and setup was a breeze. I’ve never really had Wi-Fi issues with these plugs since my home isn’t al that big, but what I like about this brand of smart plug is that it just works. I’ve never had an issue with Alexa and these things not responding. If you’re on a budget but would like to smarten your home, give these a try.

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.

These work great and I have purchased 9 of them now. I use them with Apple HomeKit, and control all of my ambient lighting in the house via “scene” in the Home app. One tip when setting these up: Start the setup in the Meross app and not in the Home app like the instructions imply. If you start in the Meross app, it will ask if you want to setup in HomeKit, then it will launch the Home app and you can scan the QR code. I also bought the garage door opener from this same company and it works great! Excellent support from them as well. I would recommend these for anyone using Apple HomeKit.

Items I have connected through a hub dont react as quickly to activation as these do. They are a very welcome addition to my HomeKit.

Absolutely as simple as could ever be to setup with Apple Homekit. Open Homekit on your ios device. Add accessory. Scan QR label on Meross plug. Follow ios setup instructions that follow on ios device and name the device, assign to a room and add any automations that float your geek boat and you is done. No special app required. No monthly subscriptions. No marketing calls. No crying. It works flawlessly right out of the box 3 out of 3 units. Total time for all three.. 10 min from opening Amazon envelope to gettin my geek on flashin lights n shiet allll ova da houuuuuse. Im gettin more of these. Lots more. UPDATE: I have several more of these gems in service now for the last year. Still flawless. Keeps m stuff on auto pilot and at my command via Siri. Couldn’t be happier still. Rarely do I find a solid product like this thru Amazon.

This is my second set of Meross smart plugs - and Ive yet to be disappointed. The app is required to initially set them up, and I believe you need to enable to Meross skill via the Alexa app, but once youve taken care of downloading the Meross app and enabling the skill, there really is nothing to adding these outlets to your network. Plug them in, open the app, click the + icon, and it will immediately show all of the new outlets that youve plugged in. Simply name them and select the network to which you want them to connect, and the app does the rest. It will connect the switch to your network, and as soon as that happens, Alexa will recognize that youve got a new smart plug to control. Ask Alexa to turn them on or off (if you named them desk light for example, all you need to do is say Alexa, turn on the desk light), and youre good to go. I havent had any issues at all with any of my Meross outlets.

Nice smart plug for the price. Occasionally, needs to be unplugged and plugged back in to reset--mostly the one that is located on the far fringes of the wifi. The others only once in a while. Generally, pretty pleased.

Super easy to setup and use! You don’t even need their app, just use Home app to setup. I am using to turn my AC on/off when away from home. Pro tip make sure you don’t turn off AC manually anymore so that you can control from device. Favorite part is using Siri to turn devices on and off. Love it.

I just got these plugs today and tried to set them up with home kit but had A LOT OF TROUBLE setting then up. I am an advanced tech user and know pretty much how to deal with gadgets, did everything right with these plugs but collectively they tool around 2 hours setup. Right now they are working fine with my iPhone home app but let’s wait and watch. If they start giving me issues, then they are going back to amazon.

They took some time for me to be able to install, but they made my life so much easier once I did. I use them with google nest and dont have any issues with them.
