Pros & Cons
Pros
Meross smart plug with homekit is hassle free to install. Bought these for homekit compatibility. Just scan the qr code on the device from the home app to add.
Easy to setup and easy to connect to. Google home requires a meross account to link, but once it is done, the connection to this ecosystem is also flawless. Connect your phone to your 2. G network (if you use their simple ios app).
Installation with homekit takes less than 3 minutes. Easier to connect/install than the not particularly clear instructions suggest. Unlike some plugs, they don't go off-line randomly and require a reboot. Easy to install.
The only downside is their bulk. It’s not a major gripe. The only real criticism is they are big and bulky.
Value for money is incredible. Go for it won't be disappointed. Delivered next day.
Cons
Make sure to at least disable precise location. Had a lot of trouble connecting to homekit. Then it got disconnected from network.
Extremely flakey. Not a chance. Should be a straight swap through amazon but no such luck.
