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.

    But they are quite bigchunky and aren’t very usable for power boards with multiple outlets

    As per other reviews this works well within the alexa app however it will take up the entire powerpoint which is pretty annoying

    The meross app is good but the tp link one is more intuitive and allows you to easily set a timer to turn on or off
