Very impressive! for forks

I'm pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to set them up through Homekit. I was a bit worried at first because I don't want a third party app to install it and you really don't want that. Just plug them in, launch the native iPhone Home app and add the accessories to your home - and you're done in less than 2 minutes. Very responsive. The question now is how long will they stand the test of time. Will update this review if they fall out sooner than expected.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Good basic electric start

I bought these to use with the Apple Home Kit app on my phone. I don't have a hub so they only work when I'm at home, over Wi-Fi. Setting up was pretty easy; There were one or two that didn't connect right away, but the second try fixed it. I like that I can turn them on and off from another floor and even from the garage so I don't have to go into a dark house. From time to time they stop responding or show that they have stopped, but I've only had one instance where the fork refused toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Is it really compatible with Apple Homekit? It doesn't seem to be.

I have extensive experience in technology as a network manager, school technology director, apple technology consultant. I've set up many smart home devices with HomeKit, including security cameras, VOIP, network media servers, light switches, door openers, fans, etc. I couldn't set up a Meross or Refoss device with HomeKit. I've spent hours on various devices, phones and iPads running the latest version of iOs. I've restarted many times. Make sure I'm connected to a 2.4GHz network. Reset allโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ

  • Dear

What a nightmare. Even a three-page PDF manual doesn't help. To connect and disconnect-reset-start rescan all QR code-connect to wifi-socket-detected socket-disconnected-other app-email registration-disconnect-reset-connected-not detected-start that Reset by pressing and holding the button for 5 seconds - connect to the device - register the name of the socket Light - turn off again --- on and over again RETURN the goods the same day after the socket was delivered. Thank you Revain for the easy

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs

More trouble than good when used with HomeKit

Bought these smart plugs based on reviews with an immediate task. Just turn my Christmas tree on and off. I do a lot of home automation but this was and probably will be the last time I have used a Refoss product (which is actually Meross). After about three days of effort, reading tons of tips online, searching for solutions on several Apple home automation discussion forums I frequent, and a slow response from Refoss support, I decided to return the plugs and get another one product to buyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old

Works with Apple HomeKit

I was a little shocked after reading the reviews after buying it for my home. I originally went to Target and got a competitor's branded TP and was having trouble connecting to my HomeKit. It worked great. Simple steps - Make sure the WiFi you choose is 2.4 (not 5) - Download the app, create an account - Plug in the smart plug. Make sure it blinks. - Follow the instructions in the app. - Scan the QR code - it should be on the plug itself. - Give the plug a name (it's good to give a simple nameโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

Another cheap product you know where to find.

Refoss is made in the same Far East factory as Meross but is cheaper. I don't know yet how well Meross is, but Refoss is not doing very well at the moment. Initially, installation was quick and easy using the Apple HomeKit app. But after a few days everything collapsed. I couldn't reconnect any of my Refoss devices to Apple HomeKit. Refoss/Meross' own app has worked fine all along and I could keep using the devices through their app... but I don't want to do that, I already have enough homeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Works with Android phone and Alexa. but a bit tricky to set up

These smart plugs worked without any problems when I controlled them via my ehomelife mobile app. The main reason I bought these plugins was that according to the description I could control them with Alexa. Getting Alexa to recognize the devices was a little tricky at first (I had a few trial and error attempts); First I had to install the eHomeLife app on my phone and set up an eHomeLife account. I then had to enable the eHomeLife skill in Alexa (make sure to remember your eHomeLifeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled
