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

Worked for about a week and then disconnected from Apple Kit.

We use this outside to connect all the lights, it was nice to only have to push the button to turn off but disappointed that it wouldn’t connect to our iPhones so we wouldn’t have to go outside to turn off lights

Buyer beware. Setting this device up with the Apple Homekit did connect it to wifi but couldnt do anything further with it without the eHomeLife App that the user manual does NOT recommend using on an IOS device. Once the app was loaded and the account was created, I was then able to add the device and edit the name. Then the fun began of trying to integrate it with the Alexa app. Alexa wont find the device and when you try to use the eHomeLife skill, you cannot sign in because No such user error message. Appartently I am not the only one with this issue. There are 3 other apps for the same parent company Meross but none of them work. I will be returning this product.

Work Ok, but use wifi 2.4Ghz

Poor shut up future for home Apple

Bought this to connect my outdoor light chain. Easy to setup and configure in HomeKit!

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.

After months of it working great it suddenly stopped working in the Home app. I had lost the QR code and tried using the company app. That still didn’t work since you need the code to connect the device to both Home App and the company app. I have read other reviews of similar issues that the device just stops working within a years time, so buyer beware in this item. No support from the company.

First, let me say that this switch is working perfectly for me now, but only because I ended up downloading the proper app onto an Android tablet and setting it up to NOT use the HomeKit services. I tried repeatedly to configure this using the HomeKit settings, but it simply would not work. I really like this smart plug... it has two outlets, and each are separately controllable. Im using this with some landscape lighting and it has worked perfectly since it was installed. Ive always had a problem with dusk-to-dawn sensor controls and landscape lighting, so using a device like this allows me to integrate it to Alexa, which then controls switching based upon dusk and dawn settings. This switch does not support dimming... its purely on and off. Again, Im really happy with this product and it works great... as long as you dont try to set it up as a HomeKit device. Understanding that, I have no problem recommending it to others and I would order it again.

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.
