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

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.

Wow. I honestly didn’t expect much out of these things given they were some of the cheapest smart plugs I could find. Took a gamble and got 3 of them. The iOS app is VERY good. Everything about it is minimalistic, works smoothly, and uses native UI elements. Takes 30 seconds to connect each plug, and it saves your WiFi password so you don’t have to type it in every time you add a plug, which is one of several nice little touches. After spending a long time getting my Philips hue lights to connect to the right bridge, this was a dream. The whole setup process simultaneously has enough options to troubleshoot if something goes wrong, while also being super streamlined and simple to allow you to set up devices quickly. The device itself feels sturdy and the little light on the side is only on when the switch is in the on state, so it won’t bother me at night when all the lights are off. When it turns on/off there is an audible click as the relay inside switches states. It sounds like a quiet flick of a light switch. The routines work well, it’s easy enough to set up schedules for plugs, but it could definitely use some improvement to save time building all the schedules. Currently you create a routine for each plug and for every time you want it to turn on/off. So for 3 plugs to turn on from 7pm-12am it takes 6 routines (3 to turn on, 3 to turn off). It would be nice to be able to control multiple plugs in a single routine and have a selectable range for on/off. Other than that, the routine setup is easy and fires at the right times. I haven’t experienced any connection issues yet, whereas my Philips Hue lights almost regularly display as unreachable.

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 use them to control my scent diffusers at home when I am annoyed with the smell and not to have to unplug them manually. Set up is easy and these work beautifully.

Easy to setup and works as described

Ive only used 1 of the plugs out of 4 so far. Hooked up to my 3D printer, I can turn it off when my prints are done without being home. Works great.

Easy to setup and link with Alexa and Google. Fast response time.

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.

I bought this as an upgrade from my last smart plug. The feature I love is the reaction time. Super fast! Almost instantaneous! My old system had a lag time of 3 - 4 seconds. I dont use Alexa so I do not know how difficult that set up is. I have 4 units, all controlling table lamps. Highly recommended!

Prompt shipping, packaging prevented any damage to product. On first try, one of the plugs would not pair with wifi, so tried another one and that one worked. Plugs do not immediately pair with Alexa, one never did, I was hoping to be able to use my phone to control them while away, but have to use my Kindle instead. Have set them up on a timer sequence so will see how that works.
