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

I liked everything about it

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.

Stated to be compatible with Alexa but requires a smart cell phone to program it. Obviously, I do not have a smart phone.

The quality is as pictured - its really good. However, setup was not fun. Put it this way: I bought an amazon smart plug. I plugged it in, Alexa discovered it automatically, and I was in business. This plug requires you to install a third party app, create an account, set up your plug, and link a skill with Alexa. For me, the linking process kept erroring out on me, to the point I got frustrated, removed the third party app, and decided to return the plug. However, the next day, I reinstalled the app and power cycled my echo, and everything just worked. So...Im keeping it. Youll see THREE smart plugs in your Alexa app. One for the main device, and one for each plug (there are two). You can manipulate any of them with your Alexa/Echo. Now that its installed, Im happy with what I got - Alexa voice control for outdoor patio string lights. But it was a big pain to get it working.

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.

I was able to configure this quickly and setup a test in my front lawn and back lawn outlets. Both tests show that I can control these easily with the app on my phone. Each outlet can be separately turned off and on using the app or Alexa voice commands.

still working on functionality but nice that it connects easily with Alexa

This was easy to hook up to my wifi and I added it to my outdoor light scene easily. I actually added if for my Christmas lights and added a color changing LED flood light. I decided to keep it up year round. The two outlet independent setup is great. Great purchase.

I purchases 2 of these plugs to time my outdoor lights for the holidays. They worked great, allowing me to set on and off groups that worked with both units. I could have worked with each plug in the unit separately which I think is quite unique. Havent tried the Alexa integration but I see no reason it wouldnt work well there too.

This thing is awesome. It turns any outlet wireless. I used it for outdoor string lights. I can now turn the lights on from anywhere..even from out of town. I can also schedule them to turn off a certain amount of time after they turn on. I can also set a schedule to have them turn on/off daily at a certain time. I’m going to order more and use one for an outdoor lamp on my front porch and the other for christmas lights. If you get multiple ones.you can set up scenes where you group them together and turn on with one click. Seriously best purchase EVER! worth every dime
