Works flawlessly with HomeKits. Dims café lights directly from iPhone with no issues.

Liked the unit, however we need a unit similar to others I have seen where the outputs are spread out so small transformer plugs can be installed. Another feature we need on these is dimmer switch models, why?, outdoor lighting and fans in gazebo, outdoor string lighting for dinners or entertainment.

I purchased one of these for my daughter to use for her outdoor fall decorations. She found it so useful and easy to install that I decided to purchase one for myself to use for outdoor Christmas decorations. I plugged it in, downloaded the app, connected to wifi and set the timer. It has worked flawlessly. I would definitely recommend this product!

It took a separate app to configure but was easy enough to configure. It works well but it took a few extra steps to configure and that is then only reason I didn’t give it 5 Stars.

I liked everything about it

All of our Meross controllers have always worked flawlessly. This on is no exception. I cant wait to review our Meross remote garage door opener.

Bought two of these to operate my landscape lighting. I just turn on my transformers, plug them into this plug and set up automation in my Home app. Love that they integrate well with HomeKit.

Having two plugs that can be programmed independently of each other is great. I have one plug running my landscape lights with a dusk to midnight timer and the second running a light on Old Glory on a dusk to dawn timer. The plug is small enough that it fits inside the lightkiwi low violated transformer box. So to keep it completely out of the weather I installed it inside with a few command strip pieces of Velcro, fits perfect, everything inside the box, very clean look. The wifi signal connectivity was fine even being inside the stainless steel box. However after a week it started to foul up, the app dropped the light and I had to reinstall it several times, not very hard but annoying. Then where there was once wifi signal it was no longer strong enough. My router is about 35-40 ft. through the one outside wall. I had the same problem with an ihome plug. That was a single plug that ran everything, I upgraded to this plug to run the two zones of outside lights. The solution, I bought a wifi extender and put it in a plug that is withing a foot of the outside plug, through the wall of course. No issues since. Bottom line is it needs a very striping wifi signal, seems like all of the outdoor plugs regardless of manufacture does. In the end a $40 wifi extender was just a part of the project to get things running. 4 stars as in a perfect world I would not need the wifi extender. But very happy with the plug, works great with good signal.

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.
