Quite easy to set up. Excellent product.
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.
5 Stars x
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
Easy to use and great price
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!
They work with Alexa!
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!
Lights on Or off, Easy..
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.
Just the job!
Easy to setup and use with my Amazon Echo Dot. Great for controlling the Christmas lights both throughout the house. Recommended!
Alexa friendly, IOS - not very
Got pack of 4. Works with Alexa.
Setup with IOS, I was unable to do it. They connect with iphone via WiFi but app was saying that they are not connected. Round and round. Grabbed Android device, and all went so easily.
They do work as they should. They serve reasonable distance from router (3 walls, 10m).
Down side:
They are big, so in extension they eliminate use of plugs on both sides.
They are big that they are covering power switch in standard UK socket
Up side:
They do work with Alexa, seamless integration
User friendly app design.
Does work but be aware, this model doesn't have energy monitoring available.
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.
Quality!
Feels far more quality than most WiFi switches I’ve bought. Easy to setup and simply works
Grea
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.
Excellent to smarten up your home
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
easy for us
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
I have found that Meross as a company has come on in leaps and bounds. I bought their first lot of WiFi plugs quite a long time ago and they were a pig to get up and running. To back up this point I took some to my sister and to be honest we gave up trying to install these at her house as just too much of a chore and so time consuming. Did take some to her recently and though she was very sceptical but convinced her to try them again. She found them so much easier this time and I got her to download the app which helps. Perhaps first one you set up is still the more difficult one but nothing like it was before but after that first one set up in the app it becomes a breeze to add more plugs and devices. You can schedule all devices to a “schedule” if you want and individually set up each device on a timed on and off basis with different schedules on each day of the week. This includes a feature for turning (a light?) on at sunset and off at sunrise for whatever country you are based in. I just think they now have a very good product range and very good app.
Easy to link and set up
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.
One way to manage all those Christmas lights. I give Alexa one task and they all go off. Easily set up & organised on the Alexa app to work either together or separately! Very handy, and will be used for. other electrical once Christmas is over.
I am very happy with this purchase. It’s an inexpensive addition to the smart technology in our house. I can manage lights on & off from wherever I am & I don’t have to be home to switch things off or on. All remotely operated from the Alexa app.
Very easy to use, very smart!
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.
After sales service...☹️
Quite easy to use and install, not to happy with meross customer service, emailed them twice when one plug failed, no reply, very disappointed…
Great plugs. Easy to use. Highly Recommended.
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.
Very easy to set up
I’ve had and still use several different manufactured smart plugs, and these are certainly the easiest to set up, after you have done the first one the rest were even easier, the various controls are easy to follow, and quite versatile, I have only one criticism, the width, these are 65 mm wide, unfortunately most sockets seem to be around 55 mm spacing, so it make fitting two of these next to each other impossible, also a standard 13 amp plug wont fit in the adjacent socket, yes there is a “mini” available, but as the manual override switch is on the side it would make one of a pair hard to get too, other than that it would have been 5 stars
I bought these to control some home items which worked out cheaper than Lightwave, first impressions they have good build quality. Downloading the app was easy and so was set up and use, linked with Alexa all worked as they should do.
They are quite bulky so using in a 4 way extension lead meant that I could not use the position either side so fitted to one end so only lost one outlet.
I have used them in automations and all worked perfectly but this is where the issue happened, just upgraded my broadband so got a new router and password etc. There is no way to interrogate or connect over wifi to the plug from a phone to change network, the only way is to do a reset and then find them and connect then update settings. Now this is not difficult as long as you have access to the push button on the unit (hold down 5 seconds), however I buried mine behind furniture so access was very difficult.
This small oversight stops me from giving five stars as it is a nightmare when you change your wifi setup without easy access to the devices.
Smart plug
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
Bit on the chunky side but they work really well.
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.
Easy to use , great solutio
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.
Easy to use and works well.
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.
Easy to install, easy to control 👌
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 . ********
Works well and isn’t too large
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.
Love these
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.
Effective control over electrical appliances via phone or Alexa
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.
great produc
will purchase more of these, easy to install and control
Perfect for use with Alexa
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
Quality Smart Plug
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
Good value and functionality.
I bought these wi-fi sockets as a replacement for a wi-fi gang plug (same make) that had developed a connection issue. Even though the faulty item was out of warranty the manufacturer, Meross, provided excellent customer service when trying to help me resolve matters and ultimately paid me a credit towards the new sockets, which I was happy to buy as a result. So far they’ve worked perfectly and were very easy to set up.
Easy to use - no issues...
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).
Quick and easy setup.
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.
Fantastic produc
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.
Good, economical, links to SmartThings and responsive
Nice, economic alternative to the SmartThings sockets. Requires MeRoss account which integrates across.
Easy set up & sync with Alexa
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 ..
Innovative and Hassle Free Smart Plug
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.
Awesome bit of kit!
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.
Meross smart plug fantastic to use great build quality. I have now thrown out all my other brands of smart plugs and only use Meross. 10 out of 10
– Overview –
I have been using Meross now for just over a year and I have to say I am mightily impressed with them. A wifi smart plug is much better than one that relies on a hub. I have 11 plugs and 5 cables dotted around my house and it is great to be able to turn them off within their app wherever I am.
Meross’ move to using Homekit is a gamechanger in my eyes. It makes this plug a standout product for people with a Homekit ecosystem. The extension cable isn’t available with Homekit (yet?) but the plug sockets now are! Here is my review of the plug.
– Purchase & Delivery –
Rest assured that even though this product is from a third-party seller, it is fulfilled by Amazon and swiftly arrives. The price of the Homekit plug is great, especially with the offers and coupons that are often available.
– Appearance –
I think the Meross plug is quite nice looking compare to other which seem to hang off a plug. It is small enough to easily allow two to be in a double socket and any appliance plug can fit with ease. The finish has changed over the last year from a shiny plastic look to a much better matte finish.
– Setup –
Setting up was always easy with the Meross app but now you can avoid that altogether if you’d like and just use the Homekit app itself. You can always add it to the Meross app later (which I would recommend for firmware updates). Meross do warn you that if you have any issues connecting, to switch your home wifi to 2.4GHz while you install.
– Use –
I have used Meross plugs over the last year and can say I have had zero issues with the product. Switching things off while your at work if you forgot is so helpful. I never worry about leaving the iron on anymore! With this Homekit device I can say that I still have had zero issues. It is so much easier having everything under one roof and response times are fantastic. I haven’t even started to talk about its safety features, which you can read up in the product listing.
– Conclusion –
Making my house as smart as possible, I have to say that I have not found a better product. Meross seem to have spotted a hole in the market and jumped in. I have now ordered 10 more Homekit plugs to replace my old ones and I hope Meross brings more Homekit compatibility to its products. (If you are reading this Meross – please can we have a smart 2 gang light switch released (Homekit compatible of course 😉 )
eally impressed with quality and ease of setup
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.
Makes life so simple
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.
Happy custome
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.
Simple and effective
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.
Easy to use
Very easy to Install no problem on to phone and Alexa great when your not home and able to switch things o
No alexa
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.
Meross superb quality and customer service.
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.
Smart plug
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
I’m using these to cut and time home power use, on stuff thats hard to reach and does not need to be on 24hrs. Or I want on when the solar panels are lit. Or on off-peak electricity. So the first point is that their own power draw when ‘off’ is superb, too low for my power meter (which reads to 0.1 watt) to find anything. That puts them way ahead of an ordinary mechanical timeswitch. The next is that they work with marginal wi-fi signals. Neither my iphone or ipad pick up wifi in my garage but these do! The app is also very simple to set up and use, worked first time and despite being so simple is nicely organised and complete. Plugs appear as either a control panel of labelled buttons (blue when plug on, white when off) and you can also cluster plugs against one button. Also add timeswitches (including one that references against dawn and dusk rather than fixed time). And you can set stuff to come for a fixed time with every button push. Its all very neat and well thought through. I’ve just ordered a whole load more. Basically each plug will pay for itself in a year if you can save 10watts consumption on average. I’ll try the ones that also measure used power next, just out of curiousity.
Simple, even with a Virgin super hub.
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.
However did I manage without them
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.
Cannot use will install meross but won't connect to plugs
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
OMG why did I not get this before
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.
Better than the big brands!!
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!
Amazing!
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…
Liked them so much I bought another se
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.
Another Top Product From Meross
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.
Super simple 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!
I have bought a couple of Meross products now, they are great value for money and the packaging and products are of good quality. They are very simple to set up, easy to use and they work well. The app is simple to use, and all you need to do is name the device, everything else is taken of. I recommend these smart plugs.
Really easy to set up. Perfect integration with Alexa and iPhone. I like the app as it allows you to rename and set icons for each plug to easily identify. Also works great with the iPhone widget as I can easily toggle on and off without opening the app. A great product overall.
Very good and cheap smartplugs
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.
These are the simplest to setup smart plugs I have used. Just download the Meross App, click on add device and the plug was found and added within 2 minutes.
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.
After buying several of these plugs from Meross a couple of months ago, I was so impressed I ordered a couple more. These are the newer model than I previously bought, and they work just as well. Super easy to connect and control with the app and with Alexa voice control. Never have any issues with them working correctly, perfect every time.
Just received these two plugs, opened the box, downloaded the app and was set-up in no time at all. Connected to Google Home and everything works as it should without any issues. The plugs look and feel pretty nice and do what they are supposed to do… next will be the garage door opener…
Was a little sceptical about buying a brand that I didn’t know, and because the price was so cheap compared to the bigger brands. I decided to take a punt, and it paid off! Easy to use app, and even easier to connect to my echo. I now use these for many plugs in my house, all controlled by Alexa and my voice. Brilliant product, great service and delivery as always amazon too, would recommend.
Anyone can use!
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
My new favourite wifi plug
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!
Just Brilliant! Very easy to set up! And setup with Google Home! Love them!
No more remote control switches
I bought these on a Lightning Deal, 4 for about 26. I have a number of plugs that are out of reach, in cupboards, behind the TV, etc., that I’ve been using remote control adapters for with varying success. I’ve replaced 3 with these smart plugs and now just switch stuff on/off with Alexa.
No problems setting up Alexa or the phone app and the devices I’ve set up with timers today all seem to work perfectly. Will definitely buy more of these in the future.
Good quality
Great quality, used these in a few people’s homes now & no problems do far.
Connects and performs without problem
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.
Nice and handy plugs
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.
Easy to set up
Neat plugs which don’t block the switch. Easy set-up and do the job well.
This is my 2nd Set , great produc
Great plugs this is my 2nd lot, now have 8 plugs. Would recommend.
Didn’t have Alexa so can’t comment.
Great! Just Grea
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
Chunky plugs
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.
Not bad for the price
Took a fair time to set up but once I had grasped the fundamentals, it was easy to use.
Great smart plugs
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.
Great connectivity
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.
Quick to setup and good value
Easy to setup and integrate with Alexa. Small size is helpful when using in a multisocket extension.
Superb product - as good as more “official” amazon plugs
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.
Got the whole family hooked on smart home integration now. You really do come to appreciate the automated features that these switches bring to the home, whether on their own or using with Alexa as we do.
No hub is required with the switches so set up with the Mesross app is straight forward, just like most others. You make an account with the provider, pair the switches with the app then, in turn, associate the Mesross app with the already paired switches with Alexa app and away you go. You can even name each switch depending on their intended use. Everything from there on can be done via the Alexa app. However, the Mesross app has some handy features that even if you aren’t an Alexa user it will allow you to enjoy smart home integration all the same with settings for timers and remote functioning.
I did notice that the switches aren’t so power pack-friendly due to their size as they are just a little oversized for them to laced side by side or have large plugs next to them resulting in one or two sockets being redundant. Anywhere else no problem at all.
Appears to be a quality produc
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.
Works well
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
Quick delivery good idea
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
So here it is I started this Christmas wanting my outside and inside Christmas lights on timers. I had some but for reasons I have yet to understand they failed. I got new digital ones and after having the worst possible time getting them to work one of them changed its own time and suddenly went rogue. I saw these smart plugs and felt the price was right to give them a go. They were easier to set up than the digital timers. I set the times on the app for each plug and they work as I want them to. I have yet to try to set them up with Alexa – one step at a time people – I am still a techno novice.
Very easy to set up & work great with Alexa. My only minor gripe is the setting up of a schedule which I manged to sort out eventually but would have been easier with some instructions which I couldn’t seem to find. Other than this minor issue I would definitely recommend these plugs to anyone changing to a smarter home
Cost effective efficient SMART Plugs
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.
Excellent Quality Smart Plugs
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.
Worth it!
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.
These are fantastic around the house, Yes they fitted over the socket switch. Setting up is really easy just make sure you’re in a good range of Wi-Fi.
Great functionality you can also turn the LEDs off nice, the app function very well.
Fantastic set that works exactly as expected. The Meross app is reliable and shows all Meross devices in one place. Each plug can be individually named and assigned a variety of icons to make it easy to identify in the app. For instance I plugged my kettle into one of the plugs, and named it Kettle in the app. I can then either trigger the kettle on via the app or by asking Alexa to switch the kettle on. It’s even possible to get the kettle to switch on when I get within half a mile of home (using Geofencing through IFTTT)! Really pleased with the plugs, and look forward to using them to schedule my Christmas lights to come on and off at dusk/dawn. Well done Meross on another great product!
Easy to use and good app.
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.
Great product.
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.
Had these now for some time and i love them. Work really well in the meross app and have some really good customisation’s. The firmware is updated when needed and its seamless. They are also very easy to connect to the network, with a nice easy instruction on how to do so. Simply plug in and go to the meross app and follow the instructions. I had mine connected within 10 minutes of owning them. So i use one of these for my living room light on a night time. Its set to come on at sunset. This is great because i now dont need to set the actual time that it gets dark as the app is always tracking the sunset time. There is also one for sunrise and just setting a specific time or day. The other thing we use it for is a heated blanket. My partner always has her heated blanket on on a night time which automatically turns off after 1 hour and goes into standby. With the Meross smart plug there is a handy button on the top that allows her to turn it on either by pressing that button, Alexa command, or using the meross app. Its set to turn its self off after 1 hour from any time that it has been turned on. This helps save energy as the heated blanket isnt in standby all day untill the next night! Like i said earlier it can be controlled by Alexa or google assistant but it can also be controlled by IFTTT. So for example you could set it to turn on a device or turn off a device e.g. irrigation pump if its forecast rain for that day. I also find them really handy to use for xmas lights with the sunset feature. All the lights then turn on automatically at the right time. You can also use the app to turn them on manually from anywhere with a internet connection. Its never failed to connect to the devices when iv not been at the property. The picture shows one device unreachable and thats because it is turned off at the light switch. I have a few meross products now and i love how they all work and the app. I would recommend these to anyone looking to buy a smart device like a plug or bulb.
Great produc
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.
I used these plugs to automate my lighting for my tortoise enclosure. Easy to setup and no fuss. They work well on schedule and the app is really intuitive.
Fantastic plugs, could't be easier to use
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.
This is a great Meross smart plug and you’ll struggle to find anything better — it works with services from Amazon and Google, it can slot right into most smart home setups, and it can monitor your energy usage as well as letting you turn your appliances on and off from your phone.
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
