Robust, reliable works with Apple HomeKit! GREAT smart plug!
GREAT with Apple HomeKit!These plugs are solid - they just work every time and never fail. Super reliable and have made automating my house easy and fuss free. I think the price is very good too (2 pack).I currently have 4 setup on 2 sets of fairy lights in my office and snug. A lamp in the kitchen so in the evening when not cooking I can still have some light in the room, and then on one of my monitors in the office so I can revert to just a single monitor setup to save energy when I don't require 2 big screens!Things I love in particular:- QR code printed directly on each plug - scan and the setup is super easy and fast. You never need the box or instructions.- Fast response / low latency - plug responds instantly when asking Siri.- Robust - they just work!- Micro LED indicator allows you to see the status of the plug easily (not obtrusively bright just the perfect indicator).- Manual switch is in the side so you can manually press to switch on/off if you want to (some smart plugs have the switch on the top which is then inaccessible if you have larger adapters plugged in)- Low profile - they are slim which enables them to be used on a 4-way power bar without interrupting placement of other plugsGreat product will be buying more to use with fans when it gets warmer.

They do the job, and pretty well.
We control these plugs using Alexa through a series of Echo Dots that are, um, dotted around the house.They connected with wifi just fine and with a lot less faffing about than other things such as smart bulbs. We made sure to connect them to the 2.4Ghz band that most smart devices currently prefer - it makes little difference in most cases because the data being sent back and forth is trivial, simple commands and responses. It doesn't need a superfast band in order to work just fine. We use the 2.4Ghz guest network option on our main router, leaving the faster 5G band on the guest network for, well, guest devices. Using the guest networks limits the clutter on the main wifi channels of our router used for everything else online.We made our lives more complicated by having MAC address filtering on all network devices by default, which might keep intruders away, but also makes every smart gadget need to be registered with the MAC filter. The plugs (and bulbs) then revealed that our house was in fact a bit too large for the wifi to reach the extremities, and we needed to buy a wifi extender to improve coverage. These scramble the MAC addresses meaning that we had to register every smart gadget twice! Some connect to the extender by default, others to the main router, and a few will connect to either of them, so a lot of security entries needed setting up twice. But that's not a problem of these plugs. It might be needed should a far-flung smartplug simply not cooperate with the app or with Alexa. It's just something to bear in mind if you run a secure network with wifi extenders.Everyting now works like a charm. Devices reliably come on when asked, and with something like Alexa to help, they can run on timers for as long as you require. We have a gym that we can pre-heat with a fan heater in winter (it is unheated) or keep warm using an oil filled radiator on another Meross plug. We can now be anywhere in the house and ask Alexa to preheat the gym for 10 minutes (fan heaters being a nightmare on running costs), and these Meross smartplugs do the job very well. The Amazon plugs are more expensive, larger, and don't have energy monitoring capabilities so far as I can tell from the two we also have. The Meross plugs also have a side switch that enables you to simply lean over and switch the plug off without disconnecting it from wifi.These are great for sockets hidden away inconveniently behind furniture, you can flip that inaccessible power switch with a voice command instead. It means the Meross plugs are always on, but the energy overhead from using one is miniscule (it measures its own usage as well, as part of the overall scheme of things).I'd wondered when we were setting up this very basic automation in the house, that we were going to become too dependent on gadgets to do things we used to do manually, but if using them becomes effortless, it's easier to accept! We're now quite used to switching things on remotely, basically because these plugs seem reliable and also "accountable" in that we can see what power is being drawn through the devices by whatever's connected to them. We have a tortoise that needs its basking lamp on for a given amount of time in order to stay healthy, and we can now be in the kitchen and "switch him on" at the other side of the house for a given number of hours.We have about 10 of these in the house, a lot of stuff is still done the old fashioned way, but these are all reliable, none have shown a single problem, and while we could live without them, I'm actually becoming fond of what they make easier for us to do.While this might seem more of an ad for Alexa, I'm hoping that it indicates that these smart plugs are actually very good. For less outlay than for the majority of smart plugs, you get a decent array of features in a device that just quietly gets on with life. The cash we've saved by being able to limit on-times of things around the house more than covers the trickle of power used to keep the smart plugs listening to the network.I would personally hate becoming dependent upon automation in my own home, and the limits of automation sometimes mean we end up having to adapt how we operate in orrder to fit in around things the automation can't or won't do, but if we add a little light automation to things that are inconvenient in our everyday life at home, we would want it to be dependable. These plugs are just that.

Can be used with Alexa
Love Meross plugs, it attaches itself to my Alexa. It has its own app that is easy to use. Each plug can be identified via app, I also add my own identification on each plug so I don’t mix them up. It can be used foe when you go one holiday and can be on timer, long lasting since my previous one is still very much working after 3 years of use, it can each have a name on the app so easy to tell when using Alexa.

Is very good and reliable but needs active external internet and not just local network
Helps to make home smarter. High quality, performs well. Very happy overall. Only wish that there was a power draw metric.Easy to setup. App is good too, has widgets for Android. Supports Alexa and other home assistants.Doesn't work without internet connection, so even if you have local network setup, you will still need external connection to their servers.

Absolutely awful, completely unreliable connectivity.
I had high hopes for these as I have a couple of much older Meross Smart Plugs and the old ones have been pretty solid.Unfortunately, that is not something I can say about these ones. They added to HomeKit easily, no problems there, but that’s where the good things end.In the time I have had them they have been hopelessly unreliable, their ability to maintain a WiFi connection is easily as low as 5% of the time and that is despite being barely 8 feet from the router with a mostly clean line of sight.The older ones are much further away, have three walls between them and the router, yet manage to maintain an almost 100% uptime connectivity.I have already ordered replacements for these and if not for the fact that I’ve already thrown out the boxes (lesson learned there), I would be returning them without hesitation.Sadly as I doubt I’d be able to return them without their boxes, they are destined to become e-waste, probably in a landfill somewhere. Very annoying.I would, and personally will, avoid these at all costs and sadly I will be avoiding any other products from the brand as their products seem to have gone downhill from the excellent quality of their older models.
