meross Outdoor Smart Plug, Outdoor Wi-Fi Outlet with 2 Grounded Outlets, Remote Control, Timer, Waterproof, Works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, 2.4Ghz only, FCC Certified, Non-HK

For those of you having difficulty getting this smart plug to work on your router or need a Mac Address to connect it to your router, check to see if Mac Filtering is enabled on your router. It may have a similar name other than Mac Filtering, but you will need to disable it. Once disable, go through the instructions on the Merross app on your smart phone or iPhone to install the smart plug. Once it is installed (shouldnt take long), you can go to the plug in the app and get the plug info from the app... the Mac Address will be there. Then you can add the Mac Address to your router filter, enable Mac Filtering on the router and then it will take a few minutes, but you should be good to go. Its a hassle, but it works. For those using Alexa, I havent figured that part out yet, but it still needs to be installed first using the instructions above before you can add it to your Alexa.

Easy to set up. I received this today and within a half an hour I was able to have it turn on two sets of outdoor Christmas lights by talking to Alexa. The instructions with the company Meross and with Alexa were both easy to understand. And I am 80 years old and not the greatest at computers and iPhone.

It took a bit to get set up. First, I believe it was an error I made. I use a VPN and spent about an hour trying to get the dinner to add to the app. After a bit I realized I had installed the dimmer after I enstalled the other Meeoss switches and outlets t use. Once I disconnected the VPN. Boom. Works like a champ. I have 3 stars to the easy to install as a single sentence turn off VPN prior to trying to connect would have saved a lot of time. Overall it is a good product at a great price. Thanks

I use it once a year for Xmas lights. Goes on at sunset, off at 11:00.

This was easy to set up with my network. App is similar to others and connected with my Google Home easily so I can control through Google. My only complaint is minor...the power cord could be a little longer. I like that this can use sunrise and sunset as a trigger. Using it to make my landscape transformer smart.

This review is for the 2nd generation of this product, which is smaller and rounded. There appear to be reviews from both generations mixed together. Overall the plug works great as advertised. I used it on some Christmas lights. Its worth noting that the plug covers may not be the nice black ones pictured. The unit I got had the ugly yellow covers that are shown on the HomeKit version. I emailed the manufacture and they said that even if they did replace the unit, there is no way to guarantee I wouldnt get another unit with the same covers. Not a huge deal, but still not quite as advertised.

It works like it’s supposed to

The product works just as advertised. However getting it hooked up and integrated with Alexa is a whole different story. The little 3.5 x 6 piece of paper they provide is nowhere near complete. I was able to get it integrated with Alexa only after a long conversation with someone who has hooked up seven of them. What they need is a video on you tube or whatever that gives you step by step instructions for use with the specific device being used with the app( in my case iPad). I would not recommend this item to any non techie, as Meross has absolutely no support system whatsoever

Tried the set up for 20+ minutes. Makes you down load the google assistant app and then their app but then you can’t connect the two. I’m returning it. 2nd dimmer I bought from Amazon that I’m returning.

The Smart plug worked well. I was using an indoor smart plug outside and the wifi signal was too weak to activate. I replaced with this outdoor smart plug and immediately the issue resolved. it did the job well!
