meross Outdoor Smart Plug Compatible with Apple HomeKit, Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant and SmartThings, Waterproof Outdoor Outlet, Remote & Voice Control, Timer, FCC and ETL Certified

Works just as advertised. I use mine for some outdoor patio lights and it works perfectly. Just make sure you snap a photo of your HomeKit code as the sticker will wear off with time outside. This happened to me and when I moved and was setting up the new Home I ran into issues getting the device to set up. Thankfully Meross support is fantastic and was able to walk me through some troubleshooting and get me running smoothly again. Thank you Molly from Meross, I really appreciate your help!

Perfect for Christmas lights and any outdoor lights you may have. Very durable unit and easy to set up! We have one for the front lights and one for the back lights, you are able to easily name each of the plugs in Apple home. Easy to set up a time for your lights to come on and shut off automatically. Siri listens when you ask for the outside lights to come on! Great product!

This is a sturdy, easy to use unit with reliable Alexa integration. Even though it’s only rated for 10 amps or 1250 watts, it uses a higher grade, weather resistant 14 AWG electrical cable rated as SJTW, 105C. The outlets are plugged with thick rubber caps that look like they’ll hold up well. Setup is simple, thanks to well written instructions and a good app. There’s a separate set of instructions for the Homekit users too. It has a handy notch to mount the outlet to the wall (though I wish this was offset so that the screw would be accessible). There’s also a little loop on the strain relief that can serve a similar purpose.The app is great. It does a good job of guiding the setup process and it seems to be written by someone who understands English like a native speaker. Once set up, the app has a couple features that are sometimes overlooked: a countdown timer so that the outlet will automatically turn off after X minutes and an option to turn off the LEDS. Plus, there’s a widget to control devices directly from the homescreen. Also, it has one essential feature that every manufacturer ought to have: a direct link to the manual.Alexa integration works flawlessly and the wifi range seems good. Alexa commands are carried out reliably and with no more than a couple seconds delay. Alexa routines also work well. Each plug can be named and addressed independently. The unit as a whole can also be named. (Hint: use names that sounds distinctly different.) Right now I have the unit about 150’ from an access point, going through half a dozen walls, in a RF congested area and I’ve had zero issues.

So i bought this (not sure if i bought used or brand new) but it was SUPER easy to setup. Yes you can use the Meross App on your phone to set it up, but if any Apple Homekit has that little rectangular QR code sticker... you can instantly add that to Homekit. Thats what that QR is for.This product DOES NOT need the Meross app, will setup straight into your Homekit app.3/5 stars because only 1/2 plugs worked, and you can hear the audible click noise when the Surge protection clicks on and off. It would do this constantly. Im returning this defective product and ordering the same exact product, because it was super easy to setup and works easy. Also went through 2 separate Oklahoma heavy T-Storms... So i assume its weatherproofed quite well.Tip: When setting up in Homekit, make sure to label each outlet as "Outlet 1, Outlet 2, or LED lights, etc) otherwise you will forget which one is which.

I m on a mission to prevent internet connections by smart (cough) devices during configuration and operation. So I only trust HomeKit and devices that can be fully configured just with a connection to the HomeKit hub (AppleTV) and not the internet. Not only that, but that has to be done while the device is on a separate and highly restricted VLAN.Meross nails it with this and all the other HomeKit-compatible Meross products I’ve tried so far. It’s a little wonky to do the steps with separate VLANs and no internet but it works great. I have 6 Meross outlets running for 1-2 years and they have been nearly flawless, the only issue has been a loss of connection on two and a quick power cycle fixed them.
