The smart plugs is very easy to set up with HomeKit once you turn off 5Ghz Wifi. It is very important as it is only working with 2.4 ghz. However, once I with back on the 5ghz wifi the connectivity to home kid on my iPhone xs max and se are not consistent. It connects half of the time, I would have to walk over and switch it off / on manually. It could be software issue? I guess. Hope future firm ware update would fix the problem.

Id recently purchased another outlet brand and was frustrated for about 6 hours over 2 days attempting to get that product to work. I was absolutely disgusted, and guilty of not having done my homework, since my purchase was a spur of the moment instore buy. I researched the Meross smart plugs and was Beyond happy with what I was reading, and upon arrival and Easy installation and paring, I was not disappointed at all, just the opposite. Im considering buying more now, to make it a total of 10 plugs for me.

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.

Works Well, Easy Setup, Works seamlessly with HomeKit. The plastic chassis is a little bulky, but it should work OK with standard wall receptacles without impeding the other socket.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

Update: Played around with my WiFi network for quite some time - not sure what I did, but my network is working better, and these plugs are now recognized! Still not terribly user-friendly: a second (outdoor) Meross plug was again unresponsive when I tried to set it up in HomeKit, but after a iPhone reboot (why?!) I got that to work too. Had to repeatedly reset the plugs to get them to work, though- Home (in iOS) said Id already set the plugs up, but they were not visible in the app until I reset and went through pairing again. So Ive bumped up my rating to three stars for now. If I find these reliable, I will probably add another star later. ------------- (Original review)----- I thought I’d try these specifically for their advertised HomeKit-compatibility. Spent an hour trying to set one up. Do you follow the (poorly translated and obtuse) instructions included in the package? Or do you follow the instructions in the Meross app? I went for the latter. Plugged in the plug, scanned the QR code, came up in iOS Home on my iPad. Tried linking. Nope, timed out. Tried again with my iPhone. Nope. Tried another plug from the package. Nope. Tried the outdoor Meross plug I had also ordered. Nope. I went through the troubleshooting tips (move your device closer to the plug - umm- closer than the six inches currently?) I have a dual-band, new T-Mobile router. Go into router management and fidget around with my router settings to turn off 5 GHz? I don’t think so. Nothing but aggravation. Maybe I’ll try again next week (when I’ve cooled down) with a different router, but just a waste of my time so far.
