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

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.

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.

When they work they’re great, but they stop working every night and need to be reset every morning (remote control functionality stops working - the base electrical pass through still works).

The description doesn’t let you know, but you need an Apple home kit (I think the app says an Apple hub) to use these or they won’t synch to your iPhone. I didn’t want to have to buy an extra piece to get them to work, but I now have to. They are solid and look very nice, if they work with the Apple home kit, they’ll be great.

Very happy with the purchase. I am happy that I can give the outlets more custom schedules than even applehome allows from the meross app. Personally there are times where the device does not respond when I ask siri to turn on, which is a pain, but if i go to meross app i can click it on manually, or just press the button on the device itself. This is strange because i gave 2 of the outlets to my GF and hers never has that problem, so i wonder if its a wifi connectivity issue, perhaps my connection isnt as stable?

Tras la última actualización de iOS mis enchufes inteligentes dejaron de funcionar con Alexa y los skills “eHomeLife” desaparecieron

I bought these to use with the Apple Home Kit app on my phone. I do not have the Hub, so they only operate when Im at home, on the wifi. Setting them up was pretty simple; had one or two that didnt connect right away, but a 2nd attempt sorted that out. I like that I can turn them on/off from another floor and even from the garage so I dont have to walk into a dark house. Once in a while they will stop responding or show they have stopped but Ive only had once instance where a plug refused to respond. Decent functionality for the price, I am happy with these so far.

Ive added 3 of these to HomeKit, only to have them disappear after a couple of days & then not being able to reset them and add them back. In other words, they are less than useless, having an outlet fail for no apparent reason is bad, luckily I was home so I could replace them with a more reputable brand.

Has some bugs to work out , got one of the four to work . It works perfectly, still trying to get the other three to work

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.
