These plugs were the easiest to setup, configure and operate.

I bought this to schedule lights we have on our deck to go on and off with home automations in HomeKit. The setup was very simple and what you would expect from any HomeKit enabled product. I simply plugged it in, opened the Home app, scanned the HomeKit sticker on the side of the plug, waited a few seconds, and then assigned the room and names for the outlets. I’d say it only took two minutes to set it all up. For those reviews saying it does not work with HomeKit, they clearly don’t know how to do it. After setup, I was able to add to my automations and control the lights on and off my network, as I have multiple Apple TV’s and HomePods that act as hubs. I’ve only had it running a couple of days, but will update on how well it holds up to damp conditions and rain. At this point that’s the only thing I’m worried about based on other reviews, but happy so far.

This plug is very easy to use and integrate with Apple Home Kit. The only drawback is it is a little bulky, but that is minor. Appears well made and can withstand outdoor use.

Took some concentration to set up and connect to my wifi.

I wasn’t too sure about another outside voice controlled switch after using the Kasa one I bought a couple months ago, but with my Christmas lights being up I needed an easy way to control them. This device is comparably smaller than others, at least smaller than the one from Kasa, yet has similar functionality. They HomeKit setup was dead simple but then adding it to them Meross app so I could use it with Google Home was a bit confusing - it kept trying to have me go back through them HomeKit setup. Eventually I got it working after 5 minutes. It is important to keep in mind that you shouldn’t name the room, the device, and each plug the same - they all should have a different name. I went with Location: Front Yard, Device: Outside Smart Outlet, Plug1: Christmas Lights, Plug2: Ground Lights. Those allows me to say hey Google, turn on Christmas Lights and just those lights turn on, or I can say hey Google, turn on Outside Smart Outlet and both sets of lights turn on. Overall the device is sturdy and seems really well built. It had no issues connecting to my WiFi network and I havent noticed any house or slowness when barking out commands to Google.

Meross did it again. Another great product, and keeping up with the times, another product with HomeKit compatibility! Right before the holiday season comes this product which is perfect for setting up timers and remote on/off capabilities for Halloween and Christmas light. I also use it for a birdbath/fountain that I keep on during the day. The new Meross products are having HomeKit compatibility,along with Alexa and Google Home support. The new devices are even supporting mesh router, which is great for outdoor plugs, since mesh routers are sometimes needed to have wifi access outside the house. Just remember one thing, while setting up the plugs, disable 5GHz in the router. Once set up is complete using 2.4 GHz, 5GHz can be turned back on. The device shows up as one icon in HomeKit and Meross app, but once the icon is tapped, the app shows individual outlets for fine grained control. The two outlets can be turned on or off individually. Also, the outlet can be programmed using IFTTT where either the whole outlet (both receptacles) or each receptacle can be programmed to turn on or off. There is a switch on the outlet to turn both receptacles on of off manually. One problem that usually occurs with smart outlets is that the devices sometimes disconnect from the network so they cannot be turned or or off remotely. However, I have never seen that happen with this outlet. This is always connected and immediately accessible via HomeKit and Meross app. Overall, this is a great product that I confidently recommend. Get it, you will love it and wonder how you lived without it so far!

Connecting this unit to HomeKit was very straightforward and took only a couple minutes. Works just as I expected. I have incorporated several devices into my HomeKit systems, so have some familiarity with the process. This may have been the quickest and easiest.

We utilize this for some outdoor lighting and I love that it has two outlet plugs. Not only do we use this all year, but we also use it for christmas lighting. Has never given any issue, even in -30F weather! Highly recommend.

It works as advertised, not issues.
