> 3 dayAs 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.

Greater than one weekEven though I didnt like having to install an app to configure these (I would have rather used the Google Home app), setup was super simple and Google Home integration was flawless. Operation through the app is super quick; Google Home can be a 1-2 second delay.

> 3 dayEasy-peasy to install using an app you download. Once installed it integrates seamlessly with Alexa and adds a lot of convenience operating lights and appliances. I’ve bought a lot of smart plugs over the years and these appear to be as well made and reliable as the others. Would recommend.

> 3 dayThese were quick to set up. I added an evening routine in the app to automatically turn on our Christmas trees and out door lights. I was also able to use Alexa when I wanted to turn things on or off during the day.

> 3 dayThe order included 4. I only have two installed so far but they work great and were easy to install. I set them up in the house and then moved them to the garage and they handled the move readily.
