Meross WiFi Dual Smart Plug, 15A 2-in-1 Smart Outlet, Support Apple HomeKit, Siri, Alexa, Echo, Google Home and SmartThings, Voice & Remote Control, Timer, No Hub Required, 2.4G Only, 2 Pack

Have a line to my Living room light, and another line to my rear lights/subwoofer. Each line is individually addressable with HomeKit and works with “leaving home/arriving home” scenes and Hey Siri automation. I bought more

They work with HomeKit, I don’t use Alexa, no such thing as privacy there. I also don’t use the Meross app, no privacy there either, don’t need it anyway. It would be nice if these used Bluetooth instead of taking up bandwidth, since people use so many. Eve is nice using Bluetooth.

If you know anything about home automation, you know how things work or rather how they are supposed to work. I have Apple devices and Android devices neither haven’t had any issues with this entire company’s product line. They’ve not dropped their connectivity nor have they hiccuped in any way. I use HomeKit SmartThings and Zigbee in my home predominantly without a bridge. Still zero issues. I will continue to recommend them until something changes

I have managed to get several other smart devices set up pretty easily but these were ridiculously difficult. I tried several times, even with help from Amazon tech-support, and iwas just about to send them back when I tried one more time and got a wonderful woman in the Echo tech support department. She walked me through steps that had not been even attempted before (nor does it seem likely anyone would have thought to attempt the steps we had to take!) but one of thermse dual outlets works now and I just dread having to set it up in the future if I move! I’m not even going to try to use the second one because I don’t have that kind of time in my life.

Update 2: Now using 34 devices with Google Assistant. Im seeing a lot of delays in execution with the Meross devices which Im not seeing with Lutron Caseta, Shelly and SwitchBot. An example, request Google turn on a dozen smart plugs, not all turn on and it is not always the same plugs. Using business grade WiFi. I picked these up to control our grow lights for our vegetable seedlings. Setup was quick, I followed the recommendation to setup the units with the Meross app first. I also updated the firmware. I then added to HomeKit following the instructions. I set up the timer function and was using the switch in about 3-minutes. This also works well with Home Assistant using the HomeKit Controller integration.

I replaced 6 iHome smart plugs with these and theyve been great. The iHome plugs werent reliable with Home Kit, but these maintain the connection, theyre fast to set up and theyre less expensive.

Ok product nothing special

Because I had to turn on our outdoor Christmas lights by plugging in an extension cord in the garage, I chose to give these a try. Because it came with two plugs, I chose to set up the Christmas Tree lights attached to one as well. Working with Apple HomeKit I created some automated features that turned the lights on/off shortly after/before sunset/sunrsie. Easily controlled both with Siri as well - worked throughout the season without flaw.

[Edit] The support team reached out and asked for details of the problem. And then they sent me a replacement which works great. I thought they would ask me to update my review but it has been a month now and they never asked, despite providing a replacement. Which is the reason I am updating this review on my own. It is only fair. [Previously] I bought four of these and one worked ok for a couple of months and then started flashing amber continuously and stopped working. I followed instructions and tried resetting it but that doesnt do anything.

I purchased these to add a few outlets that I could control in Homekit. It works well when plugged in and setup. Adding to Homekit was painless. Control is easy... for one of the two outlets. The 2nd outlet in the package just goes into an endless reboot cycle. It is pretty much trash. So, I rated 3 stars since half of 2 pack worked very well. The other half was completely useless and broken out of the box. If you get a good one, you will probably like it. If you get a bad one, you absolutely will not.
