Meross Smart Power Strip, 6 Outlets + 4 USB Ports Smart Extension Lead, Compatible with Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Voice/Remote Control, 6ft Long Crod, 2.4GHz, 3250W

I'm seriously impressed with the Meross Smart Power Strip. It's made adding smart control to my devices an absolute breeze. Here's why I love it: Super Simple Setup: Honestly, it was ridiculously easy to connect to my Wi-Fi and get it working with Alexa. No complicated tech stuff, it just works! Rock-Solid Reliability: Since setting it up, I haven't had a single dropout or issue. It responds instantly to commands, whether it's through the app or voice control. Customization for the Win: I love that I can rename each outlet! No more remembering "outlet 3" is the lamp – it makes control so much easier. Home Assistant Heaven: If you're into Home Assistant like me, this integrates beautifully. It was a snap to set up and offers total control. Should you buy it? If you want an easy, reliable way to make your existing appliances or lights smart, this is a no-brainer. It's well-made, simple to use, and expands your smart home possibilities without breaking the bank. I'm definitely considering getting another one! Note: I happily give this product 5 stars. While I haven't had it long enough to comment on extreme long-term durability, its performance so far has been flawless.

Great smart plug. I actually have several of these now, they are easy to set up using the app as long as you keep them away from each other when doing it. Otherwise the initial Bluetooth set up gets confused as to which one it's connecting to. Once set up it's controlled by the Alexa. Each socket can be individually named for the appliance. Then I just tell Alexa to turn on lamp or turn off heater. I have my hair straighteners plugged in also because I love the security of being anywhere and being able to check I actually turned them off and if I didn't I can do via the Alexa app. I dropped 1 star as it would be nice if the lead was slightly longer. I don't have many plug sockets in my house so a slightly longer lead would have really helped. Other than that though I'd highly recommend these plugs. They have been a game changer for me.

Reviewed Jan 2024: We've 3 of these.. A 4 gang version in the shed, and a couple of the 6 gang versions that are in the house. The shed one is connected to a motion detector and internal and external cameras, the idea being that if there are connection problems with those devices, I can reboot them from the power strip. To be fair, I've not yet had to do this, but I'm a little paranoid about stuff getting pinched. In the house, one is on my desk, so PC, monitors, powered USB hub and the other one is in the bedroom, powering AppleTV, TV, soundbar, etc. I bought both of these because they were on sale around black Friday and they replaced cheap power strips that did not have individual switches per gang (yet along the ability to control them remotely). As I'm typing this review, I'm asking myself if I really need these to be connected and remotely controlled.... Perhaps I will want to shut them down at the power source if I'm away for a long period of timne, maybe I'll be saving a tiny amount of standby power if I was to power them down from a day to day perspective, but so far, I've not been motivated to do this. Away from the use, what I can say... Setting them up and getting them connected was really easy.. Note I'm using Apple homekit, and for me, the QR scanning code rarely works during setup, this might be as a result of my antique iPhone. But setting them up in the Meross app was relatively straight forward. TIP: Keep the box so you know exactly what item you are setting up in the Meross app, as there are several model numbers to choose from.

When these sockets work, they're great. They integrate well into HomeKit and Siri But several times a day, the two 6-way units turn off then straight back on again. This is a real pain, because some of the items I plug in take a while to start up when power is turned on, so the sockets are useless for my TV, smart speaker etc. Additionally, once a month or so the sockets stop responding to Siri or Home app commands. To get them working again, they have to be turned off and on again at the wall plug. What's the use of a smart plug that needs to be manually turned off and on again to get it working? And what's the use of a smart plug that randomly turns itself off and on again? I don't think it's a miraculous coincidence that both of mine do this. I think there's a design flaw - the only way to stop them randomly turning off and on is to completely block network access, which makes them lose all smart functionality. Somehow, the sockets are contacting a server somewhere that's telling them to reset. I've tried these sockets at friends' homes and they suffer the same problems, so it's not an issue with my own network. I have tried getting support with this issue but I've not had any proper response. These aren't cheap commodities - I expect decent service! I won't buy any more of these until I start to see people reporting that these problems have gone away And even though lots of people recommend them, I honestly can't. When they go wrong, they become pointless. It's pure luck that people aren't experiencing the random resets (or they're not noticing them due to the type of plugs they're connecting) Meross should treat its customers better. I don't have any hope of that though

Seems to work ok, but the setup is quite odd, and you need patience. First, you have purchased a surge plug, which is not immediately apparent on the Meross App. Apple HomeKit seems to want to take over, even if you delete the app, but there are workarounds if you Google it. Alexa's setup seems to work if you do that after the full setup in the Meross app, not in the order the Meross app says to do it. Leave Home Assistant as the final thing to set up, and setting it up is easy with the HomeKit code in the Meross app. Yes, it seems to be recognised as a HomeKit device, even though I didn't set it up in HomeKit. Ah, well, it works, so I ordered another.

Having bought this product nine months ago one plug socket became faulty, up until quite recently it had worked perfectly and I was very happy with the product and the supporting software app. Meross supported my warranty claim & I’m expecting a replacement shortly! Now that’s what I call a quality company & customer care…thanks Jamie & Fiona sterling effort thanks again guys!!

I initially had an issue with the unit turning off and on quickly, it was in a two socket plug, and the other extension cord wasn’t impacted so it suggested the it was the plug. I reached out to their support and Jamie was great. They asked for a bit of detail around the issue and arranged for a replacement to be sent, I’m yet to experience the issue with the replacement device. The device is easy enough to connect to home hub and easy to control using Siri.

Set up easily. Does exactly as advertised.
