Very easy to set up and these are the second box I have purchased because they are so good. Timers work well for security when away but ease of use in hard to reach places is great.
We bought these to replace our old timers. They were easy to set up on the app. The plug does still stick out like our old timers but know where near as bulky as the old one, these look a lot nicer in the sitting in the socket.
Super easy to set up and use. Works well with Alexa and Smart things. The Meross app is also really useful, I can turn these on / off even when not on the same network or out of the house. Useful if you’ve been out longer than expected and you can turn lights on for the dog. Would recommend.
Only constructive criticism I could add is they aren’t low profile as they stick out 2 inches from the socket, then add whatever you plug into them
No gateway required so nice and easy.
Good strong connection.
Setup through the app was ok but being able to do all 4 together would be nice.
Alexa Echo picked them up fine.
Little chunkier than I would like but looked in line with the competition.
Overall pretty happy!
I was worried as I am a bit of a technophobe and it said it only worked on 2.4ghz but I plugged them in and I have sky broadband and had no issues. After downloading app connected it with alexa zero problems
All you need is your WiFi password, a smart phone, and a ten minutes later you’ll be able to control almost any plugged item.
These units have a small footprint so they will not foul other plugs in a socket, or on an extension lead. Don’t forget to label them with the labels supplied, so you can use them for different jobs later.
Only took me 15 minutes to set up 4 smart plugs and connect to Alexa. Controls power speakers, hifi amp, subwoofer and a light. Can’t fault it and good price too.
Exactly what I wanted but now wish I’d ordered the mini edition of the smart plug as these are quite bulky and do stick out from the wall socket more than doubling the thickness of a standard plug, however not ugly.
They were what I was expecting and similar my other smart plug
Now works perfectly to control outside lights as a rare example of a HomeKit smart plug. Had some trouble with it taking to my wifi network at first. Then for other reasons I needed to restart and reconfigure the network. Since then, for three weeks, it has worked flawlessly. Will be buying more for additional Homekit automation.
The plugs work perfectly and easy install they are not the most slimline if you put them on a standard plug slot on an extension lead you cant use the one next to it as it takes up half the other slo
Not linked to Alexa etc yet but the App works well to do what I wanted which is scheduled operation of multiple plyg in lights which can then be remotely altered as daylight lengthens.
Very easy to install and links well with Alexa
Thought the thickness was a little too much but good to see the mini version and will order next time
Took delivery of a 4 pack and it took me about 20 mins to set them all up. Quite easy and once the first plug was installed, the rest were easier. I had no connection issues at all.
The lights the plugs power are all over the house. The app allows each one to be controlled individually and the settings options are excellent.
Overall, very impressed.
Not just plug in, so not so easy to install, (unles you have someone who is a little computer savvy , but once in , absolutely no problems , very pleased with this product, 5 Stars x
These were much easier to install and get running than I expected, they’re also pretty cheap. I had a couple set up with extension cables connected to run Christmas lights throughout the ground floor, they worked perfectly (it was pretty cool
Being able to shout “MERRY CHRISTMAS!” and have all the lights come on!
Bought these after returning a different set, which were a nightmare to install and would NOT connect to Alexa despite hours of trying. I just downloaded the Meross app, and after an initial hiccup where it seemed to add the letters tu to the end of both my email address and my password ??, They worked without problems, AND connected to Alexa ! Yay!
I use this product for all my lights at home.
Easy the set up and connect to WiFi,
And as well as downloading the app to use features in and out of the house, you can add the Alexa skill so you can ask your Echo.
Easy to setup and use with my Amazon Echo Dot. Great for controlling the Christmas lights both throughout the house. Recommended!
Feels far more quality than most WiFi switches I’ve bought. Easy to setup and simply works
Two models available from this manufacturer and seems this 4 pack doesn’t have energy monitoring available where the older 3 pack does.
Setting up is a breeze as took next to no time to configure on to home wireless and connect devices but without energy monitoring, decided to return and purchase different manufacturer that does.
I have 4 of these now. They have been faultless. Only feedback I’d give is they could do with more images for easy identification, I had a set of Christmas lights labelled as a fan so more divers I’ve tab images please. Aside from that, very happy. I also use the Google app on occasion to operate them and the integration is perfect.
I bought these as a present after buying myself the 3 pack, and my brother immediately reported he was “over the moon” then put on a videochat to show mum and dad him using it to control the Christmas tree.
Pros:
Easy to set up
Easy to add to Alexa
Gives real time and historic energy use metrics
Cons:
The app looks a little amateurish.
These are too wide for an extension lead, so one of these will stop you using the sockets either side
great addition to alexa and so easy to set up for tech idiots.. great not to have to reach down behind a tree to turn on the xmas lights and just ask alexa now its all up and running.. easy to use, get these as super good
So easy to set up and link to alexa. Highly recommended. Bought the teckin ones first but struggled to connect to WiFi. Pleased I bought these in exchange.
Am very happy with this product so far and will likely buy many more at this rate. New to the smart home game but this works absolutely seemlessly with HomeKit. Couldn’t be more impressed. Initially purchased for my Christmas lights so I could switch them on remotely, have set up to come on at sunset and off at midnight. Like knowing no matter where I am I can switch the plug off or on. Will be using one for my winter heater as don’t have central heating so can turn it on as I leave work to warm the place up in time for getting home.
Quite easy to use and install, not to happy with meross customer service, emailed them twice when one plug failed, no reply, very disappointed…
These plugs arrive very nicely packaged and are so easy to install. I already had the Meross app on my phones so they were added in minutes. Once installed just add your appliance, pop in a socket and you’re good to go. Highly recommended.
I was looking forward to trying out the smart plugs, I have not been disappointed they work great. When they arrived I thought they looked big I thought they was going to be smaller but it didn’t bother me too much, they work great I love the way I can operate them from my phone through the app. It was easy to set up, and I good to go in no time. I was wondering if I could get it to switch my outside tree lights on, but I haven’t tried it yet as I need to see if my signal will reach that far and if it will receive it through my dry box which houses my plug. But I am pleased with them anyway and would recommend
Bought these to replace a different version that burned out. Setup was really easy and they work very well. They are quite deep though. Factor this is depending on where you are going to install them.
I downloaded the APP to my phone and was in business within a couple of minutes. Used to control some kit in my Garage and around the house. I would have given it 5 stars but these would really benefit from a PC based APP . Quality of build seems quite nice. Hopefully they’ll prove to be good in the longer term.
I’ve had these a few months now and have no complaints. They are really easy to setup and schedule. The app is very user friendly and does all it needs to do. I use the plugs with Alexa, which works without a hitch. I would definitely buy again.
Fantastic WiFi plugs . Got 4 now one is out side in a weather proof box ,to control my water features . Set on a timer to go on at certain times. The others are around the house control mainly by alexa voice commands . Will be getting more soon to work with the Christmas lights . Do highly recommend these easy to install easy to use . Would give this item more stars if I could . ********
It was a little tricky to install and get working, but that may be a HomeKit issue. Once it is working, it works very well.
You need the Meross app to update the firmware. Yes I’m living the dream and updating the firmware on my plugs.
I’d like it to be less chunky but at least it doesn’t interfere with sockets on either side.
Absolutely love these. I have them all over my apartment and have enabled me to make a whole range of devices smart so that I can turn them on and off at certain times and I can check everything is off when I’m away from the apartment. Very easy to use and set up. Would definitely recommend.
The plugs are able to be used as a timer or remote control of appliances via smartphone of Alexa. It took a little time to set up but was not too arduous.
will purchase more of these, easy to install and control
Awesome, a much cheaper option to use with Alexa. Works a treat. Install plugs using the Meross app and then add a skill to use them in the Alexa app. They work just as well as any of the more expensive options. I’ll be adding more
got these plugs at a bargain price and the quality is excellent, they don’t look or feel cheap like some smart plugs can. Setup was simple, download the app and connect, linked not up to Alexa which was straight forward. They do the job and look great, would definitely recommend
I downloaded the meross app and connected – very simple easy to use. I have an alexa in my home also and went onto the alexa app and there it was also. I can control the plug (whatever name u give it) through both apps – very easy to set up – very user friendly and not over complicated (self explanatory).
Instructions simple…download the Meros app plug one in and search. Found it straight away. Didnt have to disable 5g on router like I do with tekkin.
Switching is quick and no clicking sound like with others.
A little chunky if using in a gang box, but fab in a wall socket.
Will certainly be buying more.
I previously ordered a different brand of smartplug and had to send them back as they wouldn’t connect to my bt smarthub. After reading the reviews of the Meross plug I thought I’d give them a go. And I’m so glad I did. Even if they hadn’t connected to Alexa they would have been worth keeping as an upgrade to my timer plug. Everything connected first time and is really easy to use. Thanks for the previous reviews.
Nice, economic alternative to the SmartThings sockets. Requires MeRoss account which integrates across.
Great product , easy sync with Alexa and set up routines.
Also great for iron or straightener that you drive to work worrying you’ve left on just turn plug off on Alexa app .. love it
Only complaint is these are still bulky ..
I’ve been using this Smart Plug for a few weeks now and it’s fantastic. The build quality is very sturdy and well built. Setting up is a breeze as you just simply open the Apple HomeKit App and scan the bar-code on the side of the product. If you want to use the Meross App (like me) you can add the Smart Plug with just 1 click after it’s added into HomeKit. One of the main reasons why I like Meross so much is because of their App. They bring out regular updates and Firmware so you know they take customer feedback very seriously. I recommend this Plug and all their other products to anyone.
This is my 4th Meross smart plug now. I’m really impressed by the reliability and build quality. Pairs perfectly automatically with Alexa. I use it with Alexa to make sure everything is switched off at night, my family often leave the TV, sky box, laptops, monitors, lamps on. I’ve set up a simple routine with Alexa to switch everything off even if I forget. Like this, these switches pay for themselves in no time. This one didn’t pair with my home wifi so easily as the other Meross smart plugs but 20 seconds on the troubleshoot option fixed it fine – probably my wifi set up as I have two networks in the house.
I use this product to turn on the lamps and turn them off whenever, without leaving the sofa.I can see how this would work very well if you was disabled, It will be very handy when I am on holiday to give the appearance that I am home, by using the app I can turn the lamps on from lying on a beach.I would recommend.
Absolutely love these. Really simple to set up, just get the Meross app and find your plug to connect it. Very easy to then link to Alexa too using Alexa app. Have it set up for our lamps around the house. Good quality too.
I was a little skeptical with such a competitive price but bought a set of 4 for 28 and they work a treat. The app and set up is very similar to all the other brands and installed without any problems.
Really easy to set up and then easily discovered by Alexa so all up and running in under 10mins. They are relatively large so you wont fit 2 side by side on something like an extension strip but other than that, they work perfectly. You can name them anything you like for Alexa’s benefit, such as the device you’ve got plugged into them.
Very easy to Install no problem on to phone and Alexa great when your not home and able to switch things o
These smart plug Wi-fi sockets work so well. They are so very easy to set up. It takes literally about a minute once you have got the Meross app installed.
I have been in contact with Meross over some technical matters and their customer service is second to none. Highly recommended and I will definitely use their products when I want to add further automation to my house.
Wanted to put our lights on randomly and scheduled timer but didn’t have an alexa or Google hub. These are the answer amazing add ons that can be controlled by your smart phone and even another smart phone so long as its logged into the same app with same password. They also have an override button on the top so you can manually saitch them off or on. You now have the ease of switching anything on or off from your smartphone anywhere. Really easy to install so long as you have downloaded the app first. Will buy more of these.
Easy to use and connect- only down side is that it’s bulky compared to just having a smart socket and the socket needs to remain on all the time to be able to use them. Not sure if the led even consume that much energy so it’s not a big deal
Smart plugs arrived earlier than expected. Had to run through the set-up procedure twice with the first plug, but this took only a couple of minutes. The other 3 plugs were app connected is less time than writing this review. This was using the Virgin Hub 3, no adjustments needed.
Amazing device, incredibly easy to set up.
Only one small problem. I had to switch my phone to the 2.4ghz wifi. I wondered why my phone kept disconnecting from the wi fi on my router. Realised I was getting a slightly stronger signal from the plug and latching on to that in preference. Easily remedied. Now controlled by Alexa so no worries about phone wifi.
Won’t connect Internet keeps saying no internet Says connect to Meross but with no Internet I have tried it on its own with nothin. Else but says the same, I worked on this all weekend it’s installed meross but won’t let me do anymore won’t accept on my virginmedia I got the top speed so cannot use the bulbs if you got any idea I be glad to listen thank you
hese are so simple to use and program I think my mum could manage it, but i got them and put one on my Kettle, my routine every night is to hit the buton on the top to switch the plug off , then fill up kettle and flick its switch on, My alexa has a morning routine and I added the command to turn on kettle, so now when i come down in the morning the kettle is hot so i can make a coffee and head to work . Ive added the second plug to my electric blanket so the bed is warmed up for 30 min whilst im still downstairs watching TV in the evening, Life cannot get better.
Great product at first for the price I was a bit sceptical.
However when they arrived they were easy to set up and great when connected to my Alexa devices.
I bought two plugs one for each of my bedside lamps. Which run on timers but also can be switched on and off with Alexa.
Definitely going to purchase more!
Love these. Smart plugs. So easy to setup and install. Handy that the on/off switch is on the top.
I’ve integrated mine into my Samsung smartthings app and have them set to turn on and off automatically at set times or when I leave the house or am on my way back.
No more coming home to a dark house at night…
I came across these smart plugs by chance and based on the good reviews decided to purchase a set.
I’ve tried different smart plugs and smart bulbs over the last couple of years, and I can’t fault these Meross ones.
The build quaity is good, and they are easy to set up with the app. I use them with my Amazon Echo, and have had no problems at all.
I’ve just bought a second pair of these to standardise my smart plugs around the house. I’ll no doubt be buying a few more as needed.
Good product that works well at a very competative price.
You really can’t beat Meross with their smart switches. I have four of these now and they’re a dream to set up and the app works really well, from setting timed on/off schedules with the really handy option of an off-after-so-many-hours feature too.
Solidly built, safe and a doddle to set up.
These SMART plugs are well constructed super simple to set up and use. I had them set up, working with Alexa (Echo) and running my lamps within 5 minutes max. WiFi connection is strong and stable. The App and connectivity with Alexa (Echo) is easy to use and reliable. Exceptional value for money too. Like my other Meross products they just work!
These are very useful plugs which I can control seemingless with Google home. This is the model mss210 which compared to the mss310 does not measure electricity consumption, but still work very well as timers.
The only downside is that being larger than normal plugs, if used on powestrips or close plugs, they make the adjacent plugs impossible to use. I’d love to see these plugs being only as wide as normal plugs, which would make their use much more versatile.
On Alexa, add the Meross Skill and the plug appears in devices so that you can control it via voice.
I got the two plug pack and will be getting 2 more to replace my older non-Meross smart plugs so that I can have Alexa integration.
Well recommended.
Great little product. Easy to pair with Alexa and controls any appliance. We mainly use them for timed lights. A neat feature is that you can synch the time on or off to sunrise or sunset (with an adjustable offset). This saves you having to keep adjusting settings as nights grow shorter or longe
Connect easily to our wifi anywhere in the house. I’ve integrated these with Google Home, Alexa and Homey(via Alexa Skill) and they work great. Very responsive to commands. Don’t love the meross app but as I control everything through Homey/Google i don’t really need to use it.
Just Brilliant! Very easy to set up! And setup with Google Home! Love them!
Great quality, used these in a few people’s homes now & no problems do far.
Until it arrived I didn’t know I would need a separate app to install the and connect to alexa, but it didn’t matter. It was ready to use and the alexa app explains step by step what to do. I’m very pleased with the purchase and have ordered a second pack.
Ok. So once app installed they didn’t take to long to install. But they have all lost connection at some point and need to be re installing. Annoying.
Once installed app easy to use to set timers etc.
So happy with them.
Neat plugs which don’t block the switch. Easy set-up and do the job well.
Great plugs this is my 2nd lot, now have 8 plugs. Would recommend.
Didn’t have Alexa so can’t comment.
I was sceptical after ordered other brands and ultimately returning them. I can honestly say these are the best I’ve ordered on Amazon. It took me about 5 minutes to connect all 4 and then it’s just a case of adding them to your Amazon Alexa. So simple and Easy. I love them. Highly recommended. You wont be disappointed
Great value compared to the Hive plugs. They work just as well as Hive except for two things. They are big and ugly and the apps timer options are a bit limited. Otherwise worth trying out. That’s why I only gave it 4 stars overall.
Update. I have experienced these dropping off the network a few times recently. I can only assume that these were at fault as everything else was working fine.
Took a fair time to set up but once I had grasped the fundamentals, it was easy to use.
2nd Purchase as already bought 2. These are really good for the Xmas lights. Easy set up using the Meross app & can link to my Google Home account. Made turning the Xmas lights on & off a lot easier! No more scrabbling around the back of the tree for the plug switch. Can also use as timers.
These smart plugs connected flawlessly for me and the app is so simple to use with fairly good explanation. You don’t need to be as tech savvy as some ive tried in the past. The only reason for the 4 star is they are fairly bulky plus so cannot really be used next to each other in an extension. In wall sockets they are perfectly ok size wise.
Easy to setup and integrate with Alexa. Small size is helpful when using in a multisocket extension.
Superb product. Very easy to set up. Software so good didn’t bother using it with Alexa. Have 8 of these running. Sunrise and sunset feature so you can have lamps etc come on at the right time without fiddling. Easy setup. Perfect item. Was worried as I had official amazon plugs – but don’t worry – these are the real deal.
Fairly easy to setup and integrates easily with the Alexa App. A random on/off program would have been useful for lights (security), but I like that you can program daily schedules, as well as control them remotely. They look quality and stylish, so I’m hoping they last.
Got these just to have Christmas lights go off using Alexa, rather than go about switching off switches in different rooms. All good, got them working with alexa easy enough, never did work out how you use the schedule on the app? However managed to get that done on alexa…great to just switch everything off with one comnand. Also if forget they go off at set time. Bit bulky to use in the outside socket as would never get lid closed. But impressed so far. Just no idea what to use rhem on after …guess just keep for Christmas
Good equipment, not easy to set up but once set up really easy to use. You have to programme each day separately which takes a while but haven’t had to move the Christmas tree to turn the lights on this year. Super idea
Easy to set up and works a treat with Alexa. Impressed with product and supplier who kept in contact regarding delivery and after sales service. If I need to, would definitely buy again.
Setup is a simple, picks up by the Meross App and WIFI instantly. On/Off works perfectly through the App. There is a On/Off Green LED which can be disabled through the App. However the On/Off clicking sound cant be disabled. Setting up “timer” and “Schedule” has be done only through a “Scene Setup” and linked the Plug to a “Scene”. This could be bit confusing if you have more plugs. Ideally, I would like to click on each Plug Icon and set the “timer” and “Schedule” for each plug rather than going through the “scene” setup.
Apart from the “timer/schedule” setup inconvenience, for the price and build quality, the product is great.
Great reliable plug, bit let down by not so user friendly Meross App “schedule”, “timer”. If “schedule” setup of App is sorted, for the price and reliable, it is best in the market.
Great product! Works as described, really easy to connect and works very reliably. I had a couple of these for a year now and they never failed me.
The only drawback is that the app widget doesn’t always update when using Google Assistant to control the plugs.
There is also a version that counts your energy usage, but it’s a bit more pricey.
Great functionality you can also turn the LEDs off nice, the app function very well.
Purchased these to replace some other smart plugs, these seem so much better, they are smaller so you have access to the switch, they connect well and don’t drop out, it’s the 4th meross product I own and they all use the same app and work well with Google assistant.
Really good and simple to set up set of WiFi plugs.We use them on various lamps to automatically switch on at sunset. Especially usefull in son’s bedroom who switches his lamp on his sleep.We just set it via the app to switch off during the night so saving electricity.
The smart plugs are set up (took about 5 mins) and use. The app is user friendly. Excellent value getting four plugs. Overall a really great product, I would recommend buying it.
Thes plugs are fantastic. They are very easy to use, just plug them in and open up the app. Once setup I could control them using Google assistant and didn’t need to use the app again.
I only have two issues that have stopped me giving it 5 stars.
1. The size, they are slightly too wide to fit in an extension lead next to each other.
2. I would of like support for hassio so that I can create routines and other automation with other devices I have.
Overall I am very pleased with these plugs.
Schedules and routines are easy to set up within the appespecially turning the TV off when you need to, to stop the kids watching too much TV — or you can just use it manually. It’s fast, it’s reliable, and as we’ve said it connects to a lot of different third-party apps and services, including the always useful automator tool IFTTT (If This Then That).
You might think it would be relatively easy to design a smart plug app, but you’d be surprised at the mess some manufacturers make of it. Thankfully Meross has managed to nail this down perfectly
