Smart Plug - Meross WiFi Plugs Compatible with HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings Wireless Remote Control Timer Plug No Hub Required (4 Pack)

It’s been a day of using it. Setting up the plug was very easy. The steps were intuitive enough. The setup was easy. App showed the electricity consumption which was the primary reason for buying this plug and the plug could be controlled via the app as well as Apple home.Overall value for money and good product so far

Setting up the Meross WiFi plug was a breeze, though the instructions could be a bit clearer for first-time users. It works perfectly for controlling my outdoor water fountain, saving me the hassle of turning it on and off manually. The app integration is seamless, and the reliability has been impressive. For the price, it’s an excellent value—simple, effective, and convenient. Highly recommend.

I spent a frustrating hour trying to pair the plug with the Meross app. Each time, it looked like it had paired successfully (the app found, recognised and seemed to install the device), but when I went to the Meross home screen, there was no sign of the plug. After trying and failing with various troubleshooting tips on the Meross and Alexa apps (unlinking and relinking Alexa and Meross etc.), I tried turning my iphone off and on again. Yes, that old chestnut. The app refreshed and the plug was at last visible on the home screen. It's now working fine and integrating happily with other smart devices. But nowhere in the installation instructions is the step mentioned as a trouble-shooting option, so for my hour of wasted time, I'm deducting one star.

Super easy to set up.Works with Alexa.Excellent service thank you.Highly recommend this item.

I had a wall light that came with no mechanical on/off switch. Worse, the trailing socket that was fixed in place that it connected to, didn't either. So to operate the light, I had to physically disconnect and reconnect the mains plug itself - which was far from ideal.I purchased this meross device on the combination of it being relatively inexpensive and that it supported Apple's HomeKit.Once it arrived - I tried to do the usual wi-fi connection-to-device routine of using the router's WPS function. That didn't appear to work. I then read in the manual that this device specifically operates on the 2.4Ghz frequency and not 5Ghz. So, I temporarily disabled the 5Ghz channel and tried again - still no luck.The above was attempted using the 'Add device' option with in the Home app on the iPhone itself. Each attempt, saw it time-out with no success by scanning the QR code on the side of the smart plug.Ensuring that Bluetooth was switch on my iPhone - I did the following in order to get it to work...Opened up the Home app.Clicked on the small '+' in the top right corner.Clicked on the first option - Add AccessoryIgnored the 'Scan a Setup Code' and 'Hold iPhone Near Accessory' options and instead, clicked on the orange option that says 'More options...'Stood near the smart plug with Bluetooth enabled on the phone, the meross device appeared there.You then have the option to type in the device number - printed on the side of the smart plug itself above the QR code. It should be an 8-digit number.It then goes through the syncing process and asks you to give the smart plug a name to recognise it in the Home app.The above worked fine for me - which personally I found to be a LOT more secure than using meross's own app that requires a login to be created, access to your Bluetooth on your phone and network discovery of devices in your home. Thanks, but no thanks!A good device that I'd have no issue in buying additional units of - should the need arise.UPDATE - bought two more of these a few days ago and then spent over two hours trying to connect them. What was most frustrating was that using either the Home App on my iPhone or the slightly unsavoury Meross app - with each attempt, the plugs were half-installed. I could identify them on the network, but couldn't actually control them.I was on the router - disabled the 5Ghz band to enforce 2.4Ghz compatibility as required. Reset both plugs several times and tried manually adding them via the numeric code on the side and scanning the QR code also. Nothing worked.I was on the verge of returning them to Amazon when as a last ditch 'on/off' attempt - I decided to restart the router. Once done, I managed to reset both plugs once more and then this time, they connected fine within the Home App by scanning the QR codes.Note to anyone having connection issues with these - try bouncing your router before you start!

I purchased two boxes of four for use around my home via Alexa,TL;DR, I gave up after wasting a lot of time on these Meross plugs and ordered the more expensive Amazon branded plugs which work flawlessly and are very quick to set up.Trying to set the Meross plugs up is supremely annoying and time consuming. First you have to install the Meross app as they can't be directly imported by Alexa. Then I get prompted to add them to Apple Home kit. This worked and I could control them from Apple Home (although I didn't want to). Tried to link the Meross account to Alexa which worked but couldn't see the devices. Rebooted two of them and they then sat flashing the green light which means connecting to wifi. Never connected even after an hour.I reset them and tried the manual process, one at a time, with only one switched on each time & using the Meross app. It coudn't see them even though I followed the instructions exactly so I went back through the home kit method. This time they only partially added (appearing in home kit but not the Meross app) rebooted themselves and got stuck on the adding to wifi stage again.I had a look online and the help available is patchy but I found users reporting similar issues with them getting stuck trying to connect to wifi.Life is too short for this kind of annoyance. After contemplating throwing them in the recycling, I instead returned them to Amazon for a refund.

Well recommended. I use it on a table lamp that has an electrical socket behind the sofa out of reach.I bought this plug 2 years ago, it worked great at first was easy to connect to WiFi with clear instructions but would lose connection after a few mths, I was getting fed up of reconnecting it to my WiFi and re-adding it to Alexa, so decided against getting any more...But! I'm not sure if my WiFi has improved or if there's been a firmware update as I noticed it no longer has an issue and I haven't had to deal with reconnecting it for about 12mths. I'd completely forgotten about it tbh, so now I'm going to order another to save my back from crawling on the floor to get to the sockets behind the Xmas tree. In fact I not long ago bought new extension cables and now wish I'd bought the meross smart ones!
