Smart Plug Works with Alexa, Apple HomeKit Siri, Google Home - Refoss Wifi Plug Alexa Smart Sockets Support App Remote Control, Voice Control, Timer, Offline Control, 13A, No Hub Required - 4 Pack

Happy with this smart plug. Setup was straightforward and it works properly with both Alexa and Apple Home, which is exactly what I wanted. Voice control is fast, schedules work reliably, and switching things on and off without moving still feels like cheating in the best way. Ideal for lamps, heaters, or anything you forget to turn off. Two small annoyances: the plug is a bit chunky and can block neighbouring sockets, and the app setup takes a few minutes of patience the first time. Nothing dramatic. Overall, reliable, genuinely smart, and plays nicely with Apple and Alexa alike. My lights now listen to me more than people do.

So when I was installing these with their official appI had problems. They just completely refused to install on the app. I spent about ahalf hour trying to install them on their own app then I noticed that they were coming up as Meross smart plugs in the notification. So I installed the Meross app andproceeded to install them. It took about two attempts to install the first one but it installed and worked perfectly. On first install there wa a firmware update which I installed. Since I bought them theres been about two more firmware updates which I like to see. I bought these because some of my equipment is behind my equipment and not eaily accesable. I wanted to be able to turn off the equipment to save electricity.I know these still use electricity but theyuse far less electricity to function than the other equipment. I'm not sure how much power they ue but I think its only around 0,5 - 1 watt. I was easily able to setup a schedule to turn on and off my equipment and I can very easily turn it on and off with the app. They also work with Google home. I don't know if they work with Alexa. These are a great bit of kit

Can be a bit of a pain to set up. You need 2 apps to get them to work remotely but work quickly and easily if you just want control from within your home. You don’t need a home hub like Apple suggests

Now i bought a load of these to set up with sockets around the house for christmas, and they are a breeze to set up and use, BUT creating automations in homekit was a nightmare to begin with, The only way i could get them to work reliably was by creating a scene with all the sockets i wanted to control in that scene, setting the on/off times as two separate automations and linking to the scene, but when i added an extra socket from elsewhere to a scene, then it would not work at all. Had me scratching my head for a couple of days, and was on the verge of returning them all, when after a search online noticed others having the same problem, and it seems it is nothing to do with the sockets, and everything to do with the Apple HomeKit software/programming, (Hopefully will get sorted in an update soon) If you try to set up scenes that are not the absolute most basic of setups, they fail everytime, So I have kept it simple, instead of assigning the sockets to rooms around the house, i have assigned them to the various scenes i have set up. A single socket setup has no issues, but as soon as you add more from around the house to come on/off at the same time for example, it seems to just give up trying to execute that scene.

Please avoid. They simply do not work. No matter what you do. I have even created a new Wi-Fi network under 2.5Ghz to support these but there is no way to get them connected. The setup process seems easy: you install the Meross app, create or log in to your account, then scan the QR code to get them connected to Apple Home and that’s it. Well, not really. When Apple Home setup finishes and you think you’re all set, the headache starts: the Meross app shows an error message advising the plug is fully setup with Apple Home, but failed to be added to the Meross network, which means it will not work. Then an option to add it manually appears and guess what: the plug needs to be reset and the therefore the connection with Apple Home, which was successful, is lost and has to be redone. You’re back to square one and in an endless loop. I was happy to let them connected to Apple Home only, but then, once the setup gets stuck connecting the plug into their own app, the pug reboots and… Apple Home is unable to connect to it anymore. The problem is that any other device, such as Alexa or Google, can only find the plug once it’s connected to Meross app and that’s the only way. 2hours later, a new Wi-Fi network setup, 2 iPhones used, lots of rebooting and reinstalling I’ve decided to return these. It’s an unnecessary headache for something that should be plug and play. I own a smart plug from Meross already and I remembered how difficult it was to setup when I first got it. I hope it never loses its configuration, because once it does, it’ll go the bin straightaway.

A very well priced set of plugs. Used on HomeKit, rare connectivity issues that are rectified by restarting them. Work perfectly for lamps.

This WiFi plug is a solid buy. It’s well-built, easy to set up, and works seamlessly with Siri. No connection issues, no fuss—just plug it in, set it up using Apple home, and you’re good to go. Good size however does come away from wall so something to note. Range for WiFi seems unaffected. It does exactly what it promises, making smart home control super simple.

I spent two very frustrating hours trying to get these connected to my iPhone, both the Refoss App and Apple Home kept failing or sending me in circles. The online help was out of date and unhelpful. I have no idea how or why they eventually connected and they still don't work with Apple Home, just the Refoss app, but for my needs that's ok. I wouldn't recommend them because of the difficult connection process
