meross WiFi Dual Smart Plug, 15A 2-in-1 Smart Outlet, Support Apple HomeKit, Siri, Alexa, Echo, Google Home and SmartThings, Voice & Remote Control, Timer, No Hub Required, 2.4G Only, 2 Pack

Very nice addition to my small smart home network
A few years ago, “smart home” sounded like some expensive future luxury. Thank to the fast development of affordable/practical smart home modules & ecosystems (i.e. Homekit, etc) the “smart home” is easily accessible for everyone. Instead of having your home retrofitted with some whole home “smart house” system, it seems to come in small incremental steps (at least for me). It started with a smart thermostat, them smart cameras, then a Meross smart garage door module (awesome product by the way) … all these have opened my mind to other areas for “Smart Home” automation. Recently I found myself crawling under my desk to unplug a set of studio monitor speakers which didn’t have an off off switch – that got old quick so since I liked how my Meross Garage door opener was compatible with my Google home, I decided to buy the Meross MS110HK smart plugs because they were HomeKit compatible so I can use SIRI to control my plugs with a simple voice command. Th plugs were not yet on the market so I contacted Meross support and they were awesome as they kept my name on file and contacted me to let me know when they were ready for purchase (great customer support). I quickly found more uses for the smart plug so decided to buy the Meross Dual Smart Plug – works great and just adds more functionality to my already small smart home setup. I like that you can identify each plug separately. Love that these are Homekit compatible and also work with my Google home voice commands. When I go on vacation, it is simple to setup these plugs to turn on lights on a set schedule for security. So many uses, great integration with other smart home ecosystems and great support – what more could you want. Highly recommend. One note: at first the plugs were a bit hard to insert into the unit but if you worked them a bit, you could loosen the connection so plugs would fit smoothly.

Ground Up
So, just like all products there’s good and bad.The bad, doesn’t want to set up with a dual band router unless you disable the 5gig first. Sometimes that works; other times it doesn’t.It is a bit large and as others have said, you’re not going to use two of these on the same duplex receptacle.The good, the app—save a small quirk—works great. On iPhone, so no Android experience, it can be set up as a widget. Have it integrated into Alexa and can control with voice. Don’t care for Apple Home, most of the time my devices fail to communicate with Home. If you must use Home, I’d suggest looking elsewhere; not sure who is at fault for this problem.Now for that quirk i mentioned…a NEMA 5-15R receptacle can be installed with the ground up or down. The app controls the device as if it is ground up. This means if your outlets are ground down that the app will control your physical right outlet with the left control on the app.Now the app allows you to name individual outlets on the multi-outlet devices so it’s not a major issue, but be aware.

Not a fan of the noise
These make a clicking noise from the relay being activated when you switch them on and off via the phone. But, other than that, they work flawlessly, I’m using them with apple homekit with zero issues, and the build quality seems solid.Recommend.

I needed a smart plug that worked well with Apple HomeKit since I am integrated in that ecosystem. I used this plug mainly for the Christmas Tree and decorative lights. I thoroughly enjoyed the ease of pushing a button from my phone or telling Siri to turn the lights on or off. It took a while to set up though because it only supported wifi 2.4 and I had to connect my phone initially to our 2.4G Wifi which was a bit slow from where I wanted the plug to be. So I set it up at a plug that was closer to the router and then after it was set up with my HomeKit, I moved it to where I wanted it to be. The experience has been smooth since then! Would definitely buy more in the future.

I have 4 Meross mini plugs, 2 single switches and LED strip lights & this double, so I know Meross. I have this double in my bedroom behind my headboard with 2 bedside light plugged into it. Works great with Alexa (voice control) & Google Home. Easy install and connection.I gave it 1☆ on timer because it doesn’t have a timer but you can just use the alexa or Google home app to set routines or scenes etc. Essentially timers.Highly recommended!

Me parecio un buen producto, solo tengo una queja en el que cuando pierde señal el dispositivo comienza a reiniciarse cada pocos minutos causando mis equipos apagarse y encenderse por multiples veces lo cual no es bueno…
