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, 4 Pack

I love Apple, my husband loves Google/Android. The kids have an Alexa smart speaker. These plugs can play with them all. Tip: take a photo of the QR code from the plug with one device and set up in the app with another. That way no need to worry about awkward positions to capture the QR code while it is plugged in for initial set-up. Also set-up in Meross app and then add it to your Home in Home kit, Alexa, etc. I have especially liked having a smart plug on the router, since I tend to reboot at least once a month, and the kids’ room so I can let them read a little and still turn out the light without getting out of bed. Unfortunately the outlet tied to their wall switch isn’t in reach of where we needed to put the lamp, so I also use smart speakers to turn the light on and off via the smart switch through the day. I can also turn on lights for them at night to help them go look for their blanky or stuffy they forgot in the living room without needing to get up again myself. Works great for Christmas lights too.

When all points are connected I find it very easy to use, connects with my Apple home App very well. Set up was also a breeze, and you get the choice of using the Meross App (recommended to at least have the app) or just skipping that and going with Apple Home app. I have been using these smart plugs for about 6 months and have experienced intermittent connectivity issues. They typically resolve when I either unplug/plug in or reconnect the device, however many of these outlets are in hard to reach places, so it is very cumbersome to have to reconnect them. One of the four plugs has already died on me sadly, so I will be testing out different smart plugs going forward.

The plugs are easy to install and setup. They work well with both Alexa and Google Assistant.

Owned these for a year. When they work, they’re great. But most of the time, they’re a headache. Getting them setup is a pain. It’s honestly a game of luck if they will connect or not. They are very picky about whether they will connect to your router. We switched routers twice this year, and they were not compatible with the new router for some unknown reason (?). The reason I got rid of these is because we switched to TMobile 5G internet. If you make the switch too, do NOT buy these plugs! They will not work with TMobile 5G for some reason. I got the new Wemo Thread-based plugs that do not use WiFi and they have been flawless. Spend the extra money to get the new Thread technology, especially if you have TMobile 5G.

Ordered these to control some indoor Christmas lights. I was excited about them until a coworker told me he had had many issues with them disconnecting from the WiFi and you had to unplug/replug them ever few days. Sure enough, this started happening to me within the first few days. However, I noticed there was a firmware update that needed installing. Once I installed that, everything worked perfectly and we never lost wifi signal again. I told my coworker and he updated his, and although he was skeptical and said he had already been through several firmware updates that never fixed the problem, a few days later he admitted that things now seemed fine on his end too. So now that the firmware is taken care of these seem to work great. If you have issues, make sure you update the firmware via the app.

I bought those outlets because it says that it is compatible with Apple Homekit. I thought it will be integrated into the Apple system as smoothly as all my Apple products, but I am wrong. There is a lot of frustration when installing the outlets. I have to reset two of them multiple times to add them to Apple Home. It took me almost an hour to eventually add all four outlets to Apple Home. (Connecting to its own app is smooth though.) For now, the outlets are working as expected. They are also compact. So I am still giving out four stars even after the frustrating installation.

The title says it all. Worked awesome with HomeKit and did exactly what I needed it to

The instructions, both on-line and in the package insert, are out of date and simply do not work. Installing these outlets is more a matter of guesswork than logic. Unless an almost obsessive level of patience is one of your core personal values, safe yourself a headache and buy something else.

Works great

I have a new Orbi mesh router with strong Wi-Fi coverage but these plugs don’t stay connected. I have to unplug and plug them back at least once a week. A firmware update has fixes the issues.
