Enhance Your Smart Home with the Meross Smart Plug HomeKit Pack Review

Just plug it in and launch the Home app. Then press the + button to add an accessory. Scan the QR code and it will be added in about a minute. I had one of four failed settings so I reset them by holding the power button for 10 seconds. Then everything went well. Once they are added, you can launch the Meross app and click + there to add devices to this app. Plugs should (if I remember correctly) show up in blue at the top as a device already connected to the network, so you don't have to…

I bought smart outlets to replace the Wemo outlets. Meross outlets respond immediately. Of course, my Wemo is several years old, but there has always been a delay in the response. I really like the Meross app. I use it for Meross garage door controls, wall switches and outlets. I especially like the widget that allows quick access. There is no widget in the Wemo app. The Meross app widget still has the older pre-IOs 14 styling, but I like how it shows the on and off state of each device. This…

UPDATE November 15, 2021: Working with HomeKit and Siri again. I don't know why they stopped or started working again. Luckily they've been working for a few months now so I'm leaving them alone. They all say they have an update available, but given the issues I'm having, I'm hesitant to update them. If I pick up the courage I'll try to update and edit my review again. UPDATE January 27, 2021: I bought 8 of these and all 8 stopped working with Apple HomeKit. They all work with the Meross app…

Reading other reviews, I expected this smart switch would have issues on my network (I mixed 2.4/5GHz WiFi) or at least it would would have a bumpy road there setting it up. But to my surprise, that part of the Meross experience worked really well. Out of the box, into an outlet, scanned the QR code with my iPhone, added a name for the switch, and here we are - IT'S LIVE! Not seriously, it was so easy to get this thing working with HomeKit, the switch was almost instantaneous and I was very…

The pairing process was a bit stupid (easier just plug in the sockets and then connect to the ad hoc WiFi network from the device before you do something else). I now have these devices that work 100% reliably with both HomeKit and the Meross app. The low price, relatively compact size, and (now that they work) instant response via HomeKit make them a winner in my opinion. HomeKit problem and solution: Everything worked fine via the Meross app, but HomeKit status and control was very patchy…

Updated November 17, 2021 - Back to 5 stars. I was contacted by the support team and had numerous emails back and forth. They explained to me the reason for the reboot and the solution they found to fix the reboot. They released new firmware for the devices and made it available via OTA. Updated my units and reboots stopped. For the tech savvy, it was due to IPv6 and an older API in their firmware being rebooted. The newer firmware fixed this and I was able to get my mini devices up and running

This is unreliable. My router only supports 2.4GHz, so cross-band issues aren't an issue. I ended up setting them all up on Homekit. Most took more than one try. The code attached to the plug is a hassle as you have to unplug it if it doesn't work so you can scan or read the code again. It would be nice to have a card with a list of codes/numbers to write down where you found them. It would be nice if HomeKit would remember the number even if the process didn't complete. I've found that the…
