Meross Wi-Fi Smart Plug Mini, 15 Amp & Reliable Wi-Fi Connection, Support Alexa, Google Assistant, Remote Control, Timer, Occupies Only One Socket, 2.4G WiFi Only, 4 Pack

These smart plugs work great. The only reason I gave it four stars is because they do not connect to the Tuya app. Other than that, I love these smart plugs.

Im giving this product a high score - it works very well, has a great integration into Alexa, has an intuitive app to manage and control the switches. Also, although I had a minor installation issue, Id say installation is fairly easy. I have a mesh wireless network in my house and I installed my first smart switch in one of the rooms that is being served by a satellite. Using the app to config the switch, I managed to connect to the switch (through a proprietary SSID it uses for configuration, like many other devices), but as it rebooted it would not connect to my home network. This was frustrating - I kept trying for a few times with no success. I contacted the support (email only) and based on their answer I realized the switch needs to connect to the primary access point controller (it was trying to connect to the satellite). I moved it closer to the primary AP and it got configured. I then moved it to the room where I needed it to be and it worked well. Id recommend this switch - good price and great experience overall with the product.

What drew me to these versus some other smart outlets was the ability to understand where they are installed geographically and plan a schedule based on sunrise or sunset. Anytime Ive used timers Ive constantly had to modify the times. Is it daylight savings time or not? Is it winter or summer? This smart outlet lets you create a scheduled based on sunrise or sunset. You can select sunrise or sunset then set an event time before or after that up to 11h 59m from that point in time. Activate right at sunset, no problem. Activate 23 m after sunset, no problem. Activate 3h 17m before sunset, no problem. Basically you have full control. Auto off after X minute events can be scheduled. Combined with sunrise/sunset you have very flexible control. Events can be schedule for a specific day of the week or all days, or some days of the week. The schedules you set can easily be enabled or disabled with a simple toggle on/off. When you travel. enable the scheduled events, when you return, disable it until next time with a flick of a finger. Both features were missing with other smart outlets Ive used. With previous outlets you could only delete a scheduled event to disable it. When it was time to need it again, I had to re-create it. They also didnt have sunset or sunrise features, you had to use a specific time and you had to modify it as seasons changed. I was able to create a scene that would turn all outlets off with a tap, or on with a tap. Scenes could include all or some devices. The setup using the built-in wifi was a little more difficult compared to the two other smart outlets Ive used. This was a little frustrating but it seemed to work better if you remained very close (a few feet) from the outlet during initial installation. It takes a few minutes so if you plan it properly and use an outlet convenient to remaining close by for several minutes you might experience less frustration than I did. All four of mine needed a firmware update that wasnt forced but was easy to install. I do not have Alexa or Google Assistant but it claims to integrate with them. I use mine without integration, simply using the app for all features.

This smart plug was working perfectly for 5 months and then just stopped today. I had no luck submitting a request for a replacement through their app - I put in all my info and then the submit button doesnt do anything. I wont buy from this company again unless I figure out how to get a replacement. UPDATE 6/11/23 - Changed from 1 to 4 stars. I finally found the little set of directions that came with it and realized theres a little on/off button on the side. It now works fine. Its behind my couch and Ive never even looked at it after the initial set-up. It must spontaneously turn itself off for whatever reason. If yours has stopped working, try pressing the little button on the side.

This is great that it’s heavy duty to run my 1500 watt space heater, which it said it can operate up to 1800 watts. Only downfall or I at least having found on plug options is to “ turn off after certain amount of time has past”. All my other smart plugs have that option.

Came as described. I downloaded the app and set them up with no problem. They work great and work with my Alexa with no issues. Would buy again.

Love it

These have worked so much better than some of the other smart units I have tried.

Only had these for about two weeks. They are working great so far.

While my sons night light is on a timer, he usually sets the timer for 8 hours so he can have the light on all night. I got this so I could set it to go off when I want. I can also turn the night light off without tripping over the dog or pile of stuffed toys he keeps next to the bed. I used it for me as well. Setting up a small string of light so I can get up in the dark of morning and take care of things without turning on a big lamp or something. It perfect because I wake up and the room is light. It can be tricky to set up if you dont have your net set up. You need a 2.4 connection, not a 5. Most people can do this by accessing their router, but all you have to do is call tech support and they can walk you through that process. Once you have the wifi set up, the rest is easy.
