Outdoor Smart Plug, Works with Apple HomeKit, Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, Refoss WiFi Outlet with 2 Grounded Sockets IP44 Waterproof, FCC & ETL Certified

I’ve been using this for my Christmas lights, and the user experience has been very pleasant. Easy instillation, and the HomeKit integration was seemless.

Work for a while but then it started glitching and now it’s pretty much useless did not use for a long time disappointed of failure in system besides that ok product

My Refoss Smart Plug controls the lights on my patio. Makes life so much easier when I can use SIRI to turn on the lights as I am letting the dog out at night. However, the plug lost its connection to the wifi and I was unable to read the set up code on the device. I emailed support and problem solved! The turnaround time was much faster than expected. Bottom line - excellent customer service.

Most people are running on a combination of 2.4 GHz wifi and 5.0 wifi. For me, mine router switches between the two channels depending on the device and traffic. This plug can only be set up on 2.4 GHz, so you may have to switch something over, or something off. After that is taken care of, just scan the QR code and the app does the rest. The two plugs can be controlled simultaneously, or separately.

If you have many Apple products like I do and are using HomeKit, this outdoor smart plug is a great product and I highly recommend it. It was very easy to set up. Each outlet can be addressed individually. I am currently using one of the outlets to turn on a bug light at night and turn it off during the day. Im using the other outlet to control some decorative lights that I have on the back porch. But during the holidays this plug would be a great way to control your outdoor Christmas lights. Its nice to see that more companies are beginning to support HomeKit. I hope someday that all of my lights and switches can be controlled this way.

The instructions says “not to use on pool pumps “ but on my .5hp pool pump works great

Its a good HomeKit item. Easy to set up (use the Home app and not the Meross/Refoss app) and you get two independently-addressable outlets for HomeKit. Its great for helping to dial in outdoor lighting scenes, for instance, esp since its made to stand up to an outdoor environment (within reason, of course...I dont think it would handle a flood very well.....). I especially like the power button on the unit. Its a good value add. Only real nit is something that I think is endemic among Meross/Refoss products, in that it sometimes loses wifi connection or something. Im still not sure if its my system having too much stuff on it or what, so Im not dinging the product (it could be a user error thing) but its chronic enough for the other Meross products I have that I should mention it. This is, definitely, a good way to get more home automation options at a very reasonable price. I like this a lot.

I originally bought this to control some Christmas lights. However the wife range is so awful on this they shouldn’t call it outdoor plug, because outdoors it can barely maintain a connection. I have a Unifi business class network setup in my home, with multiple access points, and get 75% signal strength to the edges of my 3/4 acre property, but this switch can’t maintain connection to an AP that’s less than 15’ away diagonally. So they released firmware to “fix” the disconnect problem. I was stoked when I saw that. Only it didn’t really fix it. The connection still drops constantly, only now it reconnects. When I try to connect to the switch from my Home app it’s pure chance if it’s actually working, and not in “device is unresponsive” mode. Then if you wait 30 seconds, it miraculously comes back online for a minute or so, and then is unresponsive again. So I gave up trying to use it outside, and brought it in the house to control a pair of lamps in my living room. Even inside the house the max wifi signal strength I can get is around 76%, and merely rotating the switch 1/4 turn will drop that to the low 60s, even though the switch is in the same exact position, just rotated. Completely awful antenna arrangement. If I added this switch using the MeRoss app and didn’t select the HomeKit integration, it worked fine. But I bought it specifically to use with HomeKit. In closing, I’ve attached ZWave switches to HomeKit. via a software bridge, in a Docker container running on my NAS, and even THAT was easier than trying to get this switch to work and stay working. If I can’t turn my lights on or off the moment I want to, then any switch is useless to me. I recommend finding one that has better HomeKit integration, and better reception if you want a plug to use outdoors. Luckily I’m already mostly bald or I would have now after two months of trying everything to get this to work reliably.

This thing does not work. It connects to wifi at least according to the light on it but, the app will not detect or connect to it. Pick up any random rock off the ground. You now have something more functional than the app this thing comes with. The Apple home kit integration is lies as well. It connects to nothing. Do yourself a favor and get literally ANYTHING else or you’ll be right back here looking for something that actually works. Just like me.

Connect this to your WIFI program and forget about it. It just works, and it works well! I use it for the Home app, so I dont care if it works well with alexa......
