> 3 dayFirst, 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.

> 3 dayThis plug drives our patio and garden illumination. The homekit integration works well, I can switch the lights with both Alexa commands and my Apple device, including the watch. One small caveat was that the company decided to print the homekit QR-Code on a paper sticker which was decidedly not weatherproof - when I reset the system to hook it up to a new IoT wifi, I couldnt relink it because the homekit sticker was unreadable. However, the Meross support managed to look up the deleted device through my account with them and sent me an email with the missing QR code – in less than 4 hours! Kudos to their support, no star deduction for the flimsy sticker :).

Greater than one weekAfter 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.

> 3 dayIve recently been redoing my outdoor patio space, and wanted a way to control outdoor lighting as well as an outdoor fan using apple HomeKit. Ive used quite a few different HomeKit plugs and accessories and I have to say this Refoss WiFi Outdoor Outlet is by far the best one Ive used. The reason I like this so much, is that setup was a breeze and there were no issues at all. On most other smart plugs Ive used, the setup has been buggy and cumbersome. This outdoor plug I literally setup in less than a minute. I really like that it includes 2 plugs built into the outlet, that allow for separate control on both of these plugs. I have an outdoor light in one plug, and an outdoor fan in the other. What this means is that you can turn on or off each one individually. The HomeKit integration works perfectly, I can turn either one on or off with any of my iOS devices, or I can simply say: turn on light, or turn on fan and they will turn on instantly. I definitely look forward to trying out other products by Refoss.

> 3 dayMost 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.

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

> 3 dayThis is not an Alexa installed item. You have to download another app on your phone to control and add the Alexa controls. I don’t need another app on my phone. I just want to download the skill on Alexa and do everything from Alexa!

> 3 dayI like the way it’s for outdoors and it’s easier to link it with My Home Apple’s app but I got tired trying to link it to Alexa. In my case I had to change my wifi password and that messed it up

> 3 dayMy 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.
