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

Im using them with Google Home. All but 1 connected without any issues at all. The 4th one took several tries but finally connected and has been working fine ever since. My only complaint is that in a 4 outlet bank they slightly block the receptacle next to it. This is much better than it being too tall and blocking one at the top or button though.

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.

I have quite a few of them. Over the time it will fail and need replacement. For those who said not easy to connect you might need to check 1. update your routers firmware or2. just reset the router !

Im giving this product a high score - it works very well, has a great integration into Alexa, has an intuitive app to manage and control the switches. Also, although I had a minor installation issue, Id say installation is fairly easy. I have a mesh wireless network in my house and I installed my first smart switch in one of the rooms that is being served by a satellite. Using the app to config the switch, I managed to connect to the switch (through a proprietary SSID it uses for configuration, like many other devices), but as it rebooted it would not connect to my home network. This was frustrating - I kept trying for a few times with no success. I contacted the support (email only) and based on their answer I realized the switch needs to connect to the primary access point controller (it was trying to connect to the satellite). I moved it closer to the primary AP and it got configured. I then moved it to the room where I needed it to be and it worked well. Id recommend this switch - good price and great experience overall with the product.

I just discovered when the plug is off there’s still a very small amount of power coming out of the plug. I noticed this using one on a string of led Christmas lights. It does it on all four plugs. This doesn’t happen with a couple other brand plugs I have. So now I’m wondering about replacing them with another brand.

All smart plugs are not created equal. When evaluating smart plugs look for their amperage rating. Generally the higher the amp rating the more robust the unit. This one has a rating of 15 amps. Weve had it a week or so and so far so good. We had similar plugs several months ago (costing more money) and they didnt last but a few weeks. A few weeks ago I bought an EFUN 1 amp smart plug during a flash sale. I liked it so ordered another one. The second EFUN unit failed immediately after the first use. I suspect that it wasnt robust enough and the internal wiring wasnt heavy enough to carry a modest electrical load. My first EFUN remains chugging along. I replaced that second EFUN with this Meross. Last night I weighed them both and was surprised by the weight diffference. The EFUN weighed 48 grams while the Meross weighed 83 grams. The Meross feels more solidly built and was only a couple dollars more than the EFUN. The Meross was easy to set up, but has one more setup involved than the EFUN. I think the app for the Meross is of better design than the Smart Life app that the EFUN and other smart plugs use. FWIW- Back in March I ordered two Teckin brand (16amp) smart plugs. They stopped functioning a few weeks later because they stopped recognizing our wifi network and I could not get them to reinitialize and reinstall. They use the same Smart Life app as the EFUN. As I said, I think the Meross app is designed better. Consequently the Teckin units were sent back as we couldnt get them to function once the were no longer recognizing our wifi. So, I guess Im giving a qualified recommendation for the Meross smart plugs. Time will tell. If something changes I will come back and update this review.

After purchasing another brand of smart plugs and having to return them, I did some research and found these at the top of the list. I am beyond amazed at how simple the installation these were! Within a few minutes, I had all of my Christmas lights connected to the smart plugs and linked to Alexa! Well worth the money and highly recommend!!!!

Ive had quite a few Meross plugs around the home for the past few years and theyve worked great but recently one thats connected to a light has begun to flicker (on/off quickly) randomly at night. An indoor camera caught it and its usually around the same time +/- an hour or two. I double checked the router (its the closest plug to it) and electrical plug, all checked out. There were no issues with the other Meross plugs either. I tried resetting the smart plug as well which didnt help. I ended up switching to a Kasa plug on that one outlet and no more flickering. The Meross plug had worked well in the beginning then developed the issue. Overall good pricing and value, its unfortunate one developed an issue.

I use these for my Christmas lights and for a fan in my bedroom. I have these paired with Google home and they work well. Looking to buy more.

A little hard to set up at first, but it works great
