Have had to set up the bulbs a couple times before and after upgrading my wifi. Not sure if they don’t like my 5G only network so I had to add them to my guest 2.4ghz network. The real issue lies in programming scenes for the bulbs. I have to go in the bulb settings and save a scene multiple times after editing for the bulbs to act accordingly. I would edit a scene for all bulbs to turn red at 20%, but they only save the 20% setting. Going in a second time I re-add the red color to the scene and then it finally works. Had to go and save each scene twice even though I did everything right. Setup should be more consistently accurate

I will give five star for the price and easy setup but took one star off for app. For routine schedule setup, it allow you to choose only when to turn on or off but not both. So to get around it, you have to set the time to turn on and then set up another automatic turn off schedule after so many hours. Most smart plug apps allows you to set up both on and off time not just one. Also I wish it has the option to schedule from sunset to dawn which other smart plug apps offers (e.g. KASA). Is there a way to apply the same routine for all 4smart plugs? I didn’t see the option so I set it up individually. While it is nice to set up different routines for different plugs but it would be nice to have the option to apply the same schedule to multiple plugs if I want to. If developers can improve the app to accommodate this, I would say this is the best smart plugs you can get for the money you spend.

If you’re looking for a wide range of features, this app/product is probably not for you. However, if all you care about is having smart outlets with the ability to turn off and on with your smart phone or Alexa/Google Home, it’s a nice little app. One thing the developers should address is the fact that you can change the photos and name of the individual outlets, however you can only change the name of individual plugs on the power strips yet can’t change photo. It would be nice to be able to add photos to the individual plugs on your surge protectors/power strips.

When I bought the Meross Smart Plug, 2 pack, I had Christmas lights on my mind. Then I remembered, I was adding a drying closet to my Beach House. (Either a custom build closet or a Ready to plug-in cabinet that gently shakes the wrinkles out of your clothes as a fan dries them. They start about $3k) Purchased the best quality, little oscillating fan, suspended repurposed wrought iron fence pieces from the ceiling over the folding Counter and everything paired easily with my Google Home. I can turn it on & off using voice with Google home or manage everything using Google Home App or my Meross App on my Phone.

First plug was SUPER simple. Then the second one gave me issues. Had to reboot my router to have it recognize, which ended up being a faulty plug. I had bought a 4 pack so I tried the 2 others and they worked fine. It’s super unfortunate that 1 out of my 4 were bad though. Still giving 5 stars for simplicity and how the app basically tells you each step in how to set up. My toddler could set this up.
