I have used other smart plug brands, but this one seems the easiest to set up in HomeKit. So far they have been very reliable as well.

Disappointed. It is advertised as works with HomeKit and Hub not needed, but those are inclusive. That is simply for turning it off and on. In order to program/automate through HomeKit a HomeKit Hub (Like AppleTV or HomePod) IS required. You used to also be able to use an iPad as a hub, but that is no longer supported by Apple either in the latest update (16.2). You can use the Meross app without a hub for automation, but that isnt HomeKit.

Affordably priced and a decent product, however they occasionally unpair and disconnect. The firmware is up-to-date. If the issue persists, I’ll reach out to their support team.

HomeKit smart plugs are a blessing and a curse sometimes. When they set-up correctly the first time and just work it is awesome. Other times, they are a pain. Since I have a mesh Orbo network, I sometimes get the curse result. With no simply way to turn off the 5G network, any HomeKit plugs that need the 2.4 network can be trouble to get setup. Ive had more pain with iHome plugs than any. So I tried these a while back. I liked them so much Ive twice bought more of them and retired the iHome plugs permanently. I have a total of 14 and ten connected via the Apple Home app immediately. The other 4 took a couple of resets, lowering the power of my mesh network 5G side to make everything connect to the 2.4 network. But, bottom line is they work and they havent dropped off or disappeared from HomeKit or show no response like iHome did. I also own their outdoor plugs and no issues there either. Bottom line, they work!

Overall, a great purchase. Not only do you kit Homekit usage, but also Alexa. I set my MESH Internet system to only use the 2.4 GHz for 15 minutes during install. Used Homekit App to setup by (+) adding an Accessory. I had to make sure that I had enough light on the barcode, so that my phone would start setup. The code on the Mini Plug is visible in the picture. I blocked out with a red circle as to not share the code. After that you could then use the Meross App, the same App I use to control my Garage door, with their great Meross garage door opener adapter as a retrofit, for my 10 year old garage door and opener. I then added this Smart Mini plug to Alex, and it turns on and off, via my Alex App. I am an IOS Apple person, so it was nice to use Homekit. I had tried Homekit earlier in my making my home smart, and I was pleased to be reminded how nice it works. Now I have many choices. They work great.

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

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

All the reviews that say easy to install... I have no idea what they are talking about, unless there are certain serial numbers of these plugs with the right software/hardware out of the factory that work amazingly, and other serial numbers still lingering in Amazon warehouses to be sent out that are doomed. But I ordered these both in Dec 2021 and in July 2022, first 4 plugs, then 8 plugs, and I ended up returning them all within the first day of use. First 4 couldnt deal with my 2.4/5Ghz mesh network where the networks shared the same name. But since then I upgraded to Orbi 960 6E mesh which has 6G and 2.4G networks named separately. Cool, I thought. Both a better network setup on my part and hopefully newer plugs with factory-upgraded firmware that know how to work on HomeKit better than 6 months earlier. Nope. I tried everything documented and undocumented, as well as tips & tricks mentioned in these comments, to get them onto my 2.4GHz home network along with my iPhone (everything was the latest version: iPhone, iOS and Meross app) and none of them connected properly, not via HomeKit, not via Meross app. Tried to connect them in the app, or without the app in HomeKit, or as a non-HomeKit device (by going through the Wifi network of the plug), in all cases the post factory-reset plug would switch from green/amber flashing LED to solid green LED, yet no connection to the app or HomeKit would be established. Checked on the routers admin page, and they were NOT blocked by the router, assigned their IP, properly shown as properly connected to the 2.4G wireless network with their correct MAC address. Therefore, I couldnt even check or update their firmware! Unless you want to try out your luck, Id say you stay away from these. In this day and age of 5G/6G mesh networks in many many homes, their 2.4G-only requirement and non-intuitive setup process, unchanged over 6 months, made me totally lose trust in this brand. Ill certainly wont give them a 3rd chance at making a first impression.

Finally a smart plug that works with HomeKit. Like for real this time. I’ve tried so many and they all failed except this one. You may need to occasionally restart them like most other smart plugs but they stay connected 99% of the time. Good product, works great.

These things pair with HomeKit instantly and easily, be sure to take a picture of the QR code on the plug before you plug it in, then just copy and paste it from your photos to HomeKit app.
