Smart Plug 4 Pack, Refoss Smart WiFi Outlet Works with Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, Timer & APP Remote Control, 15A

Do not buy Meross or Refoss smart plugs. They go out right at a year. They’ll still power your device but the smart function will go out and no longer work. Mine went out 5 days after the warranty window closed and I’m no longer eligible to get a replacement.

Couldn’t get more than one to work. Additionally, it keeps disconnecting from the internet.

Easy to set up and use with HomeKit. Added through HomeKit by add accessory and the scan the QR code on the plug, and then answer a few questions. That’s it. Easiest plugs I’ve ever used.

Easy to use

Works great with my Apple HomeKit and brought my home into the Automation age.

I was a little concerned at first because when my box arrived it was crushed. However, the plugs were not damaged. They worked fine. Very easy to set up through the app. Would buy again.

Bought these as they are rated fairly highly. After initial setup they worked for a few attempts. After a few hours both plugs are now unresponsive in the Apple Home app and the process to reset them is to delete everything and set it up again. They are still working in their own app, though. Definitely not an elegant Apple experience. Hopefully Matter support for smart home objects increases reliability in the whole niche. Would not recommend these smart plugs.

I have been all in on the smarthome since late 2017 when I bought my first connected speaker and just kept going from there. I have been moving everything over to HomeKit since last year and now most of my devices live inside the Home app on iOS and Mac. I believe that it is the best smarthome platform IF you care about privacy and collection of your personal data. If you dont care about that, then HomeKit is probably the worst platform, it has far fewer devices compatible with the ecosystem than Google or Alexa. Not to mention, it has a high cost of entry thanks to Apple products not being very affordable. I had a little trouble connecting this to my main network, its the first devices Ive tried to add to the Home app since my Eeros got the update that gave them support for HomeKit router compatibility. I tried and tried and could not get them to connect. I think this was my fault because I had WPA3 turned on and forgot to enable legacy mode for devices like these plugs that only support the 2.4GHz band. But after turning off WPA3 and putting the Eero Pro 6 routers into the right mode, they connected almost instantly. Since then, they have been working well with no problems using them from inside my home, or when Im out and connecting remotely. This is how HomeKit works, its a little different than Alexa, where your smart speaker calls out to the internet to control devices, regardless of if youre on your home WiFI network or not. I didnt test these plugs with anything except HomeKit, I just dont trust the other smarthome platforms anymore and try not to use them if I can help it. The Home app can really be a pain sometimes, but its designed with security in mind and that sometimes has to trump convenience. One thing to mention, despite these plugs being sold as Refoss brand, in my Home app, they show up as Meross which is another very similar brand with similar products to Refoss. It may be that both are owned by the same company. Great plugs for use with Apple HomeKit, and very affordable considering how much some HomeKit accessories can cost.

Setup of these smart plugs took a few attempts, and I had a pretty frustrating time trying to reset them to their factory settings. But after a slightly frustrating (but not impossible) setup process; all these plugs have been functioning as expected, and I have had few connection issues. Overall for the price these are a great value if you feel confident and patient enough to get them setup properly.

There is no way these are HomeKit certified--they absolutely will not set up correctly. If you manage to make it through multiple hours of troubleshooting and get them set up, they will stop working shortly after.
