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

Since I already had the Meross garage door opening, I decided to give the smart outlets a try. The shipping was fast and the set up instructions are simple. Since I already had the Meross app, I went to add a device and it worked on the first try. Then I linked the Meross app to google home and I could easily control the light with my voice.

Overall fine, but one of the plugs didnt work at all, no matter what I tried.

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 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 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.

Simple and fast set up with Apple home kit. Affordable pricing with steady performance. I like it will probably buy more if I need more upgrades to a smart home.

Im using iphone 11 to install these outlets on a Smartthings hub Im sure Im just a noob, but Ive had enough smart products to notice ones that havent resolved many install concepts. NOTE - you have to have a Meross account for this to work, would have been nice to know before purchase, I would have just bought smartthings outlets to avoid that process. When you install on the iphone using the smartthings app here is what happens. 1. Smartthings tries to connect with meross app (whick you wont have an account) and you cant add a new account here. 2. So then you download the meross app and register a new account. 3. It tells you to select the device in wi-fi. Except, when you do this apple will force you to install this on the apple home, which is not the same as meross app. 4. Once you complete the install on apple home, then you can reload the meross app and find unbound devices and add it there. 5. Then you can go back to smart things and add the item with your account there. I was not able to find these install instructions on meross site, or through the app. It describes a much smoother process that I cant seem to find.

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.

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

Super easy to setup and reliable so far!
