> 3 dayThe plugs are cool. After the initial setup, they are easy to use and function properly. The only question I have concerns the fact that I bought two 4 packs of these plugs for $23 each LAST WEEK and now they are almost half price. Lost me at that. Especially when I talked to Meross community in the iOS app. There was supposed to be a special tag to click when purchasing. Not to be found. NOW they are on sale for like nineteen something with a 25% discount and an additional 5% for two. Not cool. Dont think Ill be back for more. Too bad, as the product is great. But with inconsistencies in pricing, I cant hang.

> 3 dayOutlets are all 4 working good. 3 of the 4 linked to the WiFi without issue. The fourth one would not link until I plugged it in right next to the WiFi source. Once linked it works fine though and is currently the farthest from the WiFi base.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 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.

> 3 dayOnce I got the hang of it f the steps they were pretty straightforward. I like the fact that they are compatible with Alexa. I love that you can use them all at the same time especially if they are connected to lamps throughout the house. I’d recommend this product!

> 3 dayA problem with this smart plug is, once you’ve programmed it, if you change your wifi password, you have to delete the device from your app and add it back to start all over again. There’s no way to just edit password—which would be so much easier. It’s fine once you’ve programmed/automated it.

> 3 dayI bought these for Christmas lights and trees to come on and off at certain times. I have the Meross garage door opener and it works great. These are more of the same. They were simple to setup and they worked every time. I like having them for a specific purpose but if I need some more smart plugs I will probably buy some more. They work as well if not better than my other smart plugs.

> 3 dayThis is a excellent smart plug, it works as it should and zero problems, just need to install the meross app and after set it, Alexa will detect it automatically. Also this 4-pack has many discounts across the year, set your alerts. This last pack cost me like 15usd. Great deal

> 3 dayI thought these would connect to my HomeKit and be voice controlled like my Meross light bulbs. Alas, I missed the part about them not connecting. I have to control the outlets separately through the Meross app. Huge bummer. Otherwise they work fine.

> 3 dayI have a few Amazon Echos so I purchased these plugs upon my breast cancer diagnosis. I am glad I did because they have simply been a Godsend. I developed peripheral neuropathy from chemotherapy and would not have been able to turn on any of my lamps by their own turn switch. Since I had also purchased several more for around my home all I have to do is tell my Echo which group to turn on while I am walking through my house. I have several echos because I like to play music in all rooms, from time to time. In my home office, it is inconvenient to have floor lamps from each corner plugged into the one receptacle controlled by the one wall switch, which I did at one time because I could not maneuver the tiny little turn switch on each lamp, even before chemo. Now I have each lamp controlled at its nearest receptacle and turn them all on as a group (all 4 of them) with my voice from any of my Echos around my house. Additionally, with the Meross app, I can set up times for my lights to automatically turn on, or off, or turn them on manually from the app, no matter where I am. This was extremely helpful since my tiny little 5 cup coffee maker was not programmable nor had auto shutoff and yes, I returned home to nasty burned coffee smell. No longer with my Meross plug. My homes location is given to frequent electrical brown outs so once in a blue moon I have to manually unplug and replug to reset the device. On two different devices this has only happened twice in the almost year since I connected them all and I have experienced several brown outs and blackouts. Otherwise they reconnect to wi-fi on their own. I also purchased an outdoor device so I could turn on the two lighted trees that flank my front door without going outside in cold, rain or snow. After I am recovered from chemo and radiation therapy, I will be purchasing and installing the garage door adapter to alert me, open and close my garage door because, before my diagnosis, I have driven off on multiple occasions and left my garage door wide open, much to my dismay when I arrived home. Obviously, I am extremely pleased with Meross products!
