Pros: Fairly easy setup Cons: A little large, and fairly loud when the relay clicks on or off Frustration: As you can see from the attached photo, one of the three outlets lost its barcode. Since the 8-digit setup code isn’t redundantly printed on the packaging or instructions, the outlet is unusable. Making matters worse, Meross doesn’t have any clear way to submit a request for support. Update: In the intervening months, Meross added customer support options and I was able to get a response (at 1:30 AM EST, no less), and they were almost immediately able to give me the necessary 8-digit HomeKit code and I was able to get the third outlet in service. To make things even better, they emailed me a printable barcode image that I could print on a sticker, and affix to the outlet so Id never have this issue again. Excellent customer support! Accordingly, I updated my rating to reflect this.

I have been using Meross home automation products for a while, the company creates great product and provides great service and constantly updates software, so overall a very good experience. I have used these plugs before and ordered a bunch more because of their usefulness and ease of use - Great product, awesome experience.

There are three requirements for a smart switch to make for a happy system - ease of installation, basic functionality and stability of wi-fi connection. Since all smart switches seem to come from the same factory, all provide the same functions. These switches were very simple to install using the Apple Homekit app (not the native meross app). Then the downside hit: the wif-fi connection is incredibly instable. The connection dropped constantly, and unlike other brands of switches in our home, they wouldnt/couldnt reconnect unless removed from the power source, then plugged in and cycled through power on/power off. Which means that they cannot provide remote control. Attempting to update firmware through the meross app resulted in failure multiple times. The proposed solution from meross customer service for this mess was changes to router settings. I dont know about you, but putting the connections to security system, thermostat, other smart switches, etc. at risk wasnt going to happen. And giving meross permission to log into our network to run updates (and heavens knows what else), as they requested, was a non-starter. These issues carry over to the meross oudoor switch, so avoid itas well. Im comparing this POS to the other switches in our environment - iDevice and wemo (gens. 2 and 3) - which are far from perfect but heck, I bought those years ago. Unfortunately this is a waste of money and resources and another addition to the junk drawer.

I purchased these for my older apartment with limited light switches. Pros: They are fairly cheap, they are easy to setup and install, they instantly work with Apple Home Cons: They are almost always updating in Apple Home which causes me to have to wait before I can turn them on You might be thinking thats a lot more pros than cons, I can deal with that, sure go for it but its seriously annoying, luckily they have a button where you can turn on the light if it freezes in Apple Home but at that point why even buy them? They also have a separate app I could try to make connectivity more reliable but if I wanted to use a third party app (not Apple Home) than I probably would have done a different outlet plug. All in all these arent bad and I use them daily I just have to wait a decent amount for them to catch up with Apple Home, theyre just annoying sometimes and I wanted to let yall know.

I had one go bad from a previous purchase on a Sunday and had a replacement on Friday after a couple of days trying different things. Kudos for great customer service and standing by their product

I was very skeptical about these smart plugs, but the 3 pack was on sale for such a good price that I had to try. I’m so glad I did! The plugs were super easy to setup (less than 2 minutes each). I immediately checked out the other products that Meross makes and I’ve already ordered 5 switches and will continue to purchase more switches as I convert the rooms in my house. Most things that seem to good to be true are, but this is a great exception to that rule! Take a chance - you won’t be disappointed!

I replaced a Gosund smart outlet with this one because it supports both Google Home and Apple HomeKit. I use it to power an amplifier in my basement that runs my outdoor speakers. When I’m out by the pool I have access to Siri on my phone, but not a Google mini. Now I can turn on the amp and send music to the amp (via Airplay with a different device) all from Siri. Because it also supports Google home, I can control it even when my phone isn’t handy. Best of both worlds.

Already had the Meross app for the garage door opener, so why not get the smart plug too? Just as easy to set up, no issues with Homekit or wifi. The fit is spot on - you can get two into a standard double outlet and they are no wider than the outlet faceplate - see photo. Great prices on the multi-packs too.

I have several of these and found them easy to setup and use. I use them mostly for lamps and my coffee maker. In the last month, only one switch didn’t respond to a group scene command - Siri let me know that and repeating the command did turn the lamp off. I am really pleased with these switches/outlets. Tip: I have dimmers for my lamps plugged into these switches. I had the dimmers and very seldom adjust the dimmer level, so this saved me from needing to purchase the more expensive dimmer outlets.

so long story short it works how it should, However I will say connecting it to my HomePod was w bit tricky and took a few mins and a few attempts but could be user error too but just keep in mind. I am very knowledgable about electronics and depending what you plug it into and how well you can see the blinking light it can be a bit of a hassle. however that is my only gripe. they are all connected other teams and they work without issues. If for any reason you loose your Wifi connection and it comes back online you wont have ot worry about these. They automatically reconnect without you having to reset anything. Good buy and affordable.
