I previously bought one of these mini smart plugs a year ago, which worked perfectly fine and always connected when I needed to use it. The quality in these plugs took a nose dive though; with these 3 it took a while to connect to the Home app on the iPhone to pair them - I even downloaded the Meross app since it was recommended per the instructions. I lose connectivity to the plugs at least 1x/day, which requires me to open the Meross app and switch the plug off and on until it connects. Its annoying. Spend the money and get the Lutron ones. Youll save yourself a headache.

I have had this product for almost a year and I would say it works 25% of the time. Once it is connected to your Apple Home its nearly impossible to maintain any connection. I am always running into the issue where it says No Response on my iPhone when trying to turn them on or off. Extremely disappointed with this product.

I have been using various versions of these plugs for about 3 years. Over that time, despite excellent wifi coverage, despite firmware updates, they continued to be plagued by connection issues. I had to manually power cycle them multiple times per week. It was extremely frustrating. Some of them would stay connected for months only to have daily connection issues for weeks after that. It was always a game of chance. The problem seemed to get worse the more of them I used. I finally switched to a z-wave + hub based smart plug at a much higher cost and have had 0 connection issues since. I give these a solid 2 stars, because if you have 1-2 in your home they work ok, and they are very cheap, but they are otherwise a nightmare.

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.

I started my home automation journey several years ago with the purchase of a number of Wemo light plugs and switches. This was a great initial start but as I transitioned to HomeKit I needed another solution. Wemo introduced their HomeKit bridge which served as a temporary solution until I could find a way to transition to native HomeKit in a cost effective manner. Recently I discovered the Meroos Smart Plug Mini, 16A plug, on Amazon and was impressed with their compact size and that the plugs provided HomeKit as well as Alexa, Echo, Google Assistant compatibility at a very affordable price. I did not hesitate ordering first a 2 pack and then a follow up 3 pack of the plugs to upgrade my HomeKit system. The Meroos plugs are a great value and work fully as advertised with respect to HomeKit. The plugs are ETL certified to the UL STD 60730-1 and 498 for use in a 120VAC/15A outlet. The 3 pack comes neatly packaged with the 3 plugs, Meroos and HomeKit guides. Reference photos of package contents and plug installed in wall outlet. HomeKit installation is straight forward. Plug the device into an outlet, wait for the device to initialize (LED on side will alternately blink between green and yellow), open the HomeKit app and select add device, and point your iPhone at the QR code on the top of the device. HomeKit completes the installation from there. Reference HomeKit installation screen grabs. Suggest initially accepting the default HomeKit device name until you decide which physical room you will be using the plug in and then rename within the HomeKit app. Siri uses both room and device reference. So, “Hey Sire, turn on Living Room Lamp” can be distinguished from “Hey Sire, turn on Bedroom Lamp”. Both will be named “Lamp” but are distinguished by their room. It is also recommended that you download the Meroos app as HomeKit currently does not have the capability to update the firmware on your devices. The Meroos app will manage the firmware update process as shown in the attached screen grabs. I can highly recommend the Meroos mini plug for those just starting with HomeKit as well as those that may be looking for an affordable upgrade.

I get skeptical of really highly reviewed products with a small but vocal amount of 1 star reviews... you know, manufactured ratings and the like. So I was skeptical here naturally, but I had zero issues. Using my phone I had all three switches connected and running in under 5 minutes. 2 weeks later, no disconnects and everything has been super reliable, despite having a large house and the switches spread around. Will be buying more.

This super nice looking device! Setup took me literally 2 minutes. Plugged the device, opened the app on my phone and it after pressing the button it was added and connected to my router. One nice thing - Alexa app immediately recognized it - small pop-up notification said: New XXX device found appears on the screen even without asking Alexa to search for a new devices. If you are looking a simple way to control remotely any outlet plug-in device this product definitely for you! Recommended!

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

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I set it up for mood lighting for movies and parties. Turns on from my phone or Apple TV.
