Meross Wi-Fi Smart Plug Mini, 15 Amp & Reliable Wi-Fi Connection, Support Alexa, Google Assistant, Remote Control, Timer, Occupies Only One Socket, 2.4G WiFi Only, 4 Pack

I use these for all kinds of things, but Christmas lights are the best solution. I also use them for heat & light for a terrarium, a plant light, and a radio for my parakeet. It all works great, and you can control it all from your phone.

I bought the 4 pack of the Meross Wi-Fi Smart Plug Mini to be able to turn off my four 3d printers when they are done printing but it is Christmas time so first I put them to work on my Christmas decorations and trees. All I have to do is say Alexa turn off Christmas lights and all my lights go off before going to bed. The app is very easy to use and Alexa intergration is simple to set up. I have many different brands of smart plugs and the Meross are right there at the top of the list.

Have a variety of Meross smart products, they all perform very well. Setting them up can be a pain though but be patient

Instructions are a bit sketchy. When joining the Meross Wi-Fi as directed a “no internet connection” message kept popping up which makes you think there’s a problem. Apparently this is to be expected because if you ignore that message and go back to the Meross app it says the smart plug is ready to go. So far they work well ……time will tell.

As of 4-Dec-2019 (iOS 13.1.3), The Meross App will not let you setup devices using iOS 13 -- it says it can, it thinks it can, the app will give you some workarounds for iOS 13 - but trust me, it does NOT work. The developer must repair this issue and do some more testing with iOS 13, focused on setting up devices from new - thats all there is to it. Unless you have access to another (earlier iOS Phone or Android) do not buy! I easily setup all four of these using iOS 12, and it works perfectly - VERY fast, VERY easy in iOS 12. Once the Smart Plugs are added to your account, you may then control them using the app on an iOS 13 device without any trouble. The issue appears related to the app knowing you have connected to the temporary wifi network the Smart Outlet provides; there seems to be some new feature in iOS 13 that this app does not know how to deal with properly, so it keeps insisting you are not connected to the temp meross network, when you indeed are (and can even load the web page for the device - btw, the default credentials are admin / admin) In the help of the app, you are instructed if youre using iOS 13 to wipe out your network settings to make the setup work -- yep, didnt work - it just erases your wifi networks - which is quite frustrating. Oh, and dont go trying to install this app on an old iPad, they dont make an app that will install on an iPad, so, unless you have access to another iPhone or iPod Touch prior to iOS 13, or an Android device, you wont be able to setup these devices. Once you have everything setup (which if you have iOS 12 is a breeze) everything works wonderfully. The app is very easy to understand, its not overly complex - its ideal for something like a Christmas tree timer. You can easily create a schedule to turn the outlet on/off based on a time, or Sunrise/Sunset. Firmware updates are fast and painless. The app supports iOS shortcuts / widgets, which is nice. There does not appear to be any HomeKit support for this device - I dont really care, but some might. When it is confirmed the iOS 13 issue is addressed, I will revise my review, until then, this is a serious defect.

Unlike others, I had no problem connecting these plugs to my WiFi. Even Alexa connected easily. The problem - potentially fatal for me - is the app. I want my lights to turn on and off at specific times. The app, and the instructions, tell you excitedly that you can. But they dont tell you HOW to do it. So, you go to the ROUTINES page and set an ON time. Then, you set an OFF time. Problem is that when you set a time to to one or the other, it gets carried to both - ON and Off become the same. So the lights come on but dont shut off. No surely the developers tested the app - at least minimally. We will see if Support replies to my inquiry but for now, Im pretty frustrated. Grrrr...

I guess it never specifically indicated it Smart Things integration, but as a device labeled as Smart, you would think that it would. With the features that it does include, it works well. I was pleasantly surprised how easy the setup was. No glitches. Works pretty much on the first try for most devices. I did have to do it a couple times on one other device but ended up working out. I like that this plug doesnt take up the space of 2 plugs like some do and then it ends up hogging up both receptacles on a duplex. One great feature on this that I use all the time is a physical button on the side of the unit that allows you to turn on/off the device manually. I use this device to plug in my LiPo charger which doesnt have an on/off switch.

I bought the 4 pack and I have only used one in my bonus room. My husband can tell the light to turn on or off without trying to find it now. We keep a nightlight on but this is very convenient. I highly recommend for elderly people like us.

This is great that it’s heavy duty to run my 1500 watt space heater, which it said it can operate up to 1800 watts. Only downfall or I at least having found on plug options is to “ turn off after certain amount of time has past”. All my other smart plugs have that option.

Used this for holiday window candles and Xmas tree. It took a little while tu understand routines and scenes, but it all worked out well. I would have liked more definition of relationship of routines and scenes in the instructions or app. Only needed 2.4 g wifi to create routines. I Went back to normal WiFi for ongoing operation.
