Pros

Meross is a great brand for those looking to break into the smart home ecosystem. The products are easy to install and extremely responsive with smart home controllers and their apps. The meross ecosystem has a great line of products.

Nice app controls and easy setup in the app. The installation is straightforward with the instruction. It's a little difficult to connect to your system if you use the meross app and just connect your phone to the switch to configure, it seems much ea...  Read More

Wiring is via nuts which is generally easier than screw-in. Neutral on the non-load side plus two travelers - the single pole switch is even easier since you can use a dumb switch on the other side.

The meross switch has 25% increments for dimming up/down. The app has a lot of really nice features including setting the minimum brightness so your lights always come on when power is turned on.

Next, syncing it up to homekit was a breeze. Works perfectly from all 3 locations as well as alexa. We primarily control it via voice through alexa as kids use to to go up and down stairs.



Cons

Reception is not the issue, nor routing, no vpn or anything else that could be an obstacle. Trying to turn the switch on or off results in a device isn't responding message, even after re-pairing. Other meross products including the baby machine and g...  Read More

The blue is very annoying at night. The dimming function itself is pretty basic.

Quality


Overall i'm happy with the product, as i am with my other meross items.


Very impressed with this product for the value!


We began having several installed but stopped after the problem became obvious with the single pole dimmer.


Had an electrician do the install because i'm just too unfamiliar with the 3 way configuration.

Price


The price is reasonable and the application is easy to use.


There are no other reasonably priced price homekit 3 way dimmers and so i’m stuck with this until someone else comes out with it.

Packaging/appearance


Great product from the start, inside the packaging there’s labels for each wire, clear instructions if you are unsure what you’re doing.


I highly recommend thi switch, and meross in general, to anyone starting out in the homekit ecosystem.


Adding the switch in the meross app was troublesome.


Instead, i had to bypass the 4-way switch altogether (eliminating that “middle switch) and only use two light switches as oppos...  Read More

Competitiveness


I have been using meross products for years now and they never seem to disappoint.


This is just one of a couple dozen meross products i have in my house.


Attempted to use it on a 4-way circuit.


Not only did these work with homekit, which is why i chose this brand, but they dim from almost nothing to full brightness.
