RefossSmart Plug WiFi Outlet Work with Apple HomeKit, Siri, Alexa, Google Home, Smart Socket with Timer Function, Remote Control, No Hub Required, 15A, 2 Pack

Was looking to automate some lamps in my house. My requirements:* Reasonable price* Apple HomeKit compatible* No additional hubs required.These Refoss Smart WIFI Outlets fit the bill perfectly. The installation was dead simple:1. Turn on lamp2. Unplug lamp from outlet3. Plug Refoss Smart WIFI Outlet into wall4. Plug lamp into Refoss outlet5. Open Apple HomeKit app on your Apple device and select Add Device6. Scan QR code on side of Refoss outlet7. Wait 30-60 seconds for the outlet to be recognized and proceed with naming the device and it's location in the HomeKit app.A-Thing-Of-Beauty!!!! This is how ALL automation accessories should work - especially those that claim to be Apple HomeKit compatible. No need for a third-party app, no need for account creation anywhere.Be aware if you research these devices, they are manufactured by Meross and indeed they seem to be indistinguishable from their "Meross"-branded counterparts. They have been working flawless. Highly recommend!!

I love they came in a very small package. Two smart plugs at this price was so tempting.Extremely easy to set up with Apple HomeKit, just plug it, scan the QR code with HomeKit app and device will be added to your home group right away. If you already have a Meross account and have linked that account to Google Home and Alexa, adding this WiFi Smart Plugs will take less than 5 minutes. You just need to add it to your Meross account by selecting the right type of outlet, connect it to your 2.4 GHz network, and that is it. Then they will appear in your google home and Alexa app almost instantaneously.It is very convenient that you can use them with your favorite assistant application. I will certainly get more as I automate most of my devices at home.They have a very small footprint. The side button is a big plus, it is easy to manually turn it on or off even if the whole front is covered.(An issue I run into in the past with other smart plugs) Status light is small and not very bright, at night you will not even notice they are in your room.I have been using their previous smart plugs for over 2 years. (We also have a dimmable switch)They have been adding more features to the app to create routines based on time, as well as scenes to control several plugs at once. It is good that they always keep the settings even if you unplug them for several weeks. I have never had any issue with the smart plugs.From time to time the app logs me out, more likely than not after an update.I totally recommend this brand and any device made by them.

Worked as expected. I did not want to set up a routine where the smart plug was turned off and on on a set schedule but wanted to turn it on or off when I needed to when away from home. Had to use the routine and set it to turn the smart plug off at a certain time (turned the day of week off), and then had to setup and another routine to turn the smart plug back on again a minute later (again with day of week turned off). I have a blink camera that would go offline if there was a glitch in the internet coverage in the area, and would have to manually turn the blink camera sync module power off and back on to reset it and allow the blink camera system to work properly again. I can now power it off and on remotely when I see that our camera system has gone offline and this device allows me to get it working again.

At first, I have a lot of problems with no response issues, thought I got some defected plugs that work sometimes and doesn't work at other, and the on/off timer is only 4 hrs. I almost return it. It actually works great once I figured out how it works.For Apple home, set up was straight forward, device can be set up use either Refoss or Home app, it appears Refoss can only do initial set up, it doesn't change WiFi or update, each smart plug needs to be set up individually, you might as well use the HomeKit app to start with.These plugs relies on Apple TV device or HomePod in order to work, or you will get " No response", no matter what you do. Smart plugs needs to be connected to the SAME ROUTER as your Apple TV or HomePod in order to work, so if your Apple TV or HomePod is not connected to the same router as the smart plugs, it will not work.You can manually turn on or off using the button on the plug. To reset the plugs, just hold down the button until you see the amber light, then it will flash amber and green simultaneously. Smart plugs needs to be flashing amber and green in order to connect to wifi. If you switch router or change SSID, deleted the device from your HomeKit app and reset smart plugs before it can connect to a different wifi again.It does not make sense that HomeKit automation can only set for 4 hrs, for more than 4 hrs, you can set one automation on and another on for off.For $20 for 4 that can handle 15A. This is the best bang for the bucks for Apple HomeKit.

Bought several of the four packs and loved them for the first 2 months. I was thrilled to find an outlet that’s easily connected to my Apple home that Siri can control with voice. These outlets worked perfectly fine at first, but after 1-2 months, they just stop working, become unresponsive and blink orange. I followed all of the reset instructions (basically holding down the reset button for 5 seconds) and the outlet still hasn’t been restored. I’ve contacted customer service, support just sent me mother same reset instructions. No help at all.I have about 12 of these in my home attached to assorted lamps, etc. one goes out every month. So far I’m down 6 outlets but it’s been over 30 days so now I can’t return. Sucks.
