Smart Plug 4 Pack, Refoss Smart WiFi Outlet Works with Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, Timer & APP Remote Control, 15A

Works great with my Apple HomeKit and brought my home into the Automation age.

I’m no tech expert but the description says 2.4 ghz connection not 5g. I believe a lot of people complaining it does not work after several a tries is because they’re not aware of what their Wi-Fi connection is. After receiving the product it literally took me to set up one of the plugs in less than 2 minutes with Apple Home App. With that said, I could be wrong but again I did not have issues because I knew my Wi-Fi connection was 2.4 ghz. I say this to say, the bad reviews are really making this look bad when it could’ve been avoided. Would definitely buy more.

I have been all in on the smarthome since late 2017 when I bought my first connected speaker and just kept going from there. I have been moving everything over to HomeKit since last year and now most of my devices live inside the Home app on iOS and Mac. I believe that it is the best smarthome platform IF you care about privacy and collection of your personal data. If you dont care about that, then HomeKit is probably the worst platform, it has far fewer devices compatible with the ecosystem than Google or Alexa. Not to mention, it has a high cost of entry thanks to Apple products not being very affordable. I had a little trouble connecting this to my main network, its the first devices Ive tried to add to the Home app since my Eeros got the update that gave them support for HomeKit router compatibility. I tried and tried and could not get them to connect. I think this was my fault because I had WPA3 turned on and forgot to enable legacy mode for devices like these plugs that only support the 2.4GHz band. But after turning off WPA3 and putting the Eero Pro 6 routers into the right mode, they connected almost instantly. Since then, they have been working well with no problems using them from inside my home, or when Im out and connecting remotely. This is how HomeKit works, its a little different than Alexa, where your smart speaker calls out to the internet to control devices, regardless of if youre on your home WiFI network or not. I didnt test these plugs with anything except HomeKit, I just dont trust the other smarthome platforms anymore and try not to use them if I can help it. The Home app can really be a pain sometimes, but its designed with security in mind and that sometimes has to trump convenience. One thing to mention, despite these plugs being sold as Refoss brand, in my Home app, they show up as Meross which is another very similar brand with similar products to Refoss. It may be that both are owned by the same company. Great plugs for use with Apple HomeKit, and very affordable considering how much some HomeKit accessories can cost.

Tras la última actualización de iOS mis enchufes inteligentes dejaron de funcionar con Alexa y los skills “eHomeLife” desaparecieron

I tried multiple processes for connecting the plugs to my IOS devices. I was able to connect twice, then was unable to see the devices afterward. Too much trouble.

I wish they were smaller, many are nowadays, but at $10 a piece it’s hard to complain much. I plan to use these with HomeKit and my Christmas decor so I can easily kill the blowup decor and lights with my phone/voice. Ll

Works great with HomeKit. However, I had issues with my WiFi that made them keep disconnecting. Once I replaced the router the issues went away.

Loved it. It was great. It broke my heart when I updated to APPLE IOS 15.2.1 I get no response on any of my outlets now. I only got 2 weeks of use out of them.

Very easy to set up. All do you have to do is download their app plug the switch in and app takes it from there

I’ve dabbled with some non-HomeKit smart sockets (Feit), which work okay-ish via Siri Shortcuts but it’s not the same as true HomeKit-enabled devices. Jumped at the chance to review these. Initially, hadn’t read any reviews and wasn’t aware that there was a third-party app from the seller. I just opened the Home app on my iPhone and added the socket by scanning the QR code. Easy. Done. Works. After reading around some more, found the eHomeLife app and installed it to update the firmware on the socket. Goofed by turning the socket off, so it seemed like it wasn’t visible on the network. After using the Home app to turn the socket ON again, the eHomeLife app found the socket, added it to the app and attempted a firmware update. It was a bit goofy with the firmware update too, where the app definitively stated “firmware available” but after a few seconds cancelled out the update and effectively said “jk, it’s already up to date”. Weird. Socket still working normally through Home app. I’ve got a standing lamp hooked up to one and use a Philips wall switch (the old round one) to turn the socket / lights on. Still figuring out scripting and tricking it into on/off functionality but that’s a HomeKit quirk, not related to the product! So far so good. Will update if there are any issues but they do everything I hoped they would and seem fairly priced, so 5 stars for now!
