Quality


No problem in setting up much easier than the last model and does not block the plug socket good quality product would buy again


Seemingly good quality, compact plugs that easily integrate with apple home kit.


For the price, i think they are very good.

Packaging/appearance


After setting up, the phone can go back on the 5ghz.


These are easy to install onto homekit and there’s no need to log into the meross app to use it.


I found the meross smart plugs on amazon and being a twin pack caught my eye.

Competitiveness


Will definitely buy more of these and other meross products.


This new mini version is much easier to set up, especially with homekit, definite winner


4ghz wifi that the plugs will be using, it won't detect them if on a 5ghz on the same lan.


The cheapest option to get a homekit compatible plug.

    One of them eventually joined the network after four or five attempts at adding it then removing it then trying all over again

    It added in the meross app fine but getting into homekit was what cause the issues


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The other one just refused to join i contacted meross support and we eventually got there by adding it as a nonhomekit plug then going to the homekit app and manually entering the code of for the plug which eventually got it on the system
