- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2020Pattern Name: SocketStyle: HomeKit New-2 ScoketVerified PurchaseThis is a sturdy, easy to use unit with reliable Alexa integration. Even though it’s only rated for 10 amps or 1250 watts, it uses a higher grade, weather resistant 14 AWG electrical cable rated as SJTW, 105C. The outlets are plugged with thick rubber caps that look like they’ll hold up well. Setup is simple, thanks to well written instructions and a good app. There’s a separate set of instructions for the Homekit users too. It has a handy notch to mount the outlet to the wall (though I wish this was offset so that the screw would be accessible). There’s also a little loop on the strain relief that can serve a similar purpose.
The app is great. It does a good job of guiding the setup process and it seems to be written by someone who understands English like a native speaker. Once set up, the app has a couple features that are sometimes overlooked: a countdown timer so that the outlet will automatically turn off after X minutes and an option to turn off the LEDS. Plus, there’s a widget to control devices directly from the homescreen. Also, it has one essential feature that every manufacturer ought to have: a direct link to the manual.
Alexa integration works flawlessly and the wifi range seems good. Alexa commands are carried out reliably and with no more than a couple seconds delay. Alexa routines also work well. Each plug can be named and addressed independently. The unit as a whole can also be named. (Hint: use names that sounds distinctly different.) Right now I have the unit about 150’ from an access point, going through half a dozen walls, in a RF congested area and I’ve had zero issues.

Original 1-Star Review 6/26/23
Piece of crap...works for about a few days, then loses connection
Bought three of these. When they work, they're great. Problem is, you can't depend on them to work for long. Totally unreliable, don't waste your money.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2022Pattern Name: SocketStyle: HomeKit New-2 ScoketVerified PurchaseI bought this to schedule lights we have on our deck to go on and off with home automations in HomeKit. The setup was very simple and what you would expect from any HomeKit enabled product. I simply plugged it in, opened the Home app, scanned the HomeKit sticker on the side of the plug, waited a few seconds, and then assigned the room and names for the outlets. I’d say it only took two minutes to set it all up. For those reviews saying it does not work with HomeKit, they clearly don’t know how to do it.
After setup, I was able to add to my automations and control the lights on and off my network, as I have multiple Apple TV’s and HomePods that act as hubs.
I’ve only had it running a couple of days, but will update on how well it holds up to damp conditions and rain. At this point that’s the only thing I’m worried about based on other reviews, but happy so far.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2025Pattern Name: SocketStyle: HomeKit New-2 ScoketVerified PurchaseHave two of these for more than 2 years, and both have now failed.
Initially, they worked great like most of the reviews stated. Even I thought they were pretty good for the money. Eventually, one unit developed a fault in one of the outlets, rendering it a single plug unit (although the second outlet is still visible).
Then the process of moving them or reprogramming them became the issue, rending them as bricks.
Using HomeKit, I refrain from using the 3rd party app process for anything due to privacy concerns.
Meross/Refoss has slowly begun to change their TOS to be more invasive, and as a condition of the unit functioning, which is not the arrangement when I purchased these.
If you need to move the unit to another SSID (change wifi name), resetting the unit accomplishes nothing.
Using the normal HK procedure to add, delete or re-add an accessory does nothing with these units if they've been installed. HK simply won't recognize them...onto their App to attempt to make them work again.
Immediately 'Update App' (hadn't used it since I installed it to see what it was about), and there were new TOS requirements. Now the company wants to know my 'exact location' in order to use the device. The app guides you through a myriad of changes to your privacy settings on your iPhone to allow the device to know your network info, location and other data. This wasn't needed initially when I installed the device.
Why does it need my exact location to work anyway? Hmmm. If I was a conspiracy theorist I would suspect that the country of origin is attempting to establish a beacon system across the USA using consumer devices for mapping when GPS no longer gives them a signal...good thing I am not a conspiracy theorist.
Unplugging the unit for 2 days, resetting it, holding the power button down for 20 seconds, 60 seconds, 2 mins, does nothing. If you're HK savvy, know I've tried all the normal procedures.
Invest in Matter plugs, or try another brand. I am slowly ridding my house of all Meross/Refoss products as they keep changing the requirements of operation and they are likely to not be able to be reprogrammed when needed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well even though it's a bit of pain to setup.
Pattern Name: SocketStyle: HomeKit New-2 ScoketVerified PurchaseOnce setup it works well. But..... (yes there is a but)
In order to set it up, you have to create an account on the downloaded Meross app (on your phone) and allow the app to access your networks.
The other thing you need to do momentarily, is make sure your phone is connected on the 2.4GHz band of your router.
In my case, I am using the Bell Gigahub 4000, I had to shut down the 5Ghz and 6GHz bands temporarily, so that all devices (including my phone) fall on the 2.4GHz band.
Then it was relatively easy to set up, through the Meross app which then could send to HomeKit app (Apple).
The 1 star I removed was because of this headache.
BTW, I re-enabled my 5GHz and 6GHz bands on my router/modem. My phone had to be on the 2.4GHz band just for setup.

5.0 out of 5 stars Did it last a harsh Canadian winter?
Pattern Name: SocketStyle: HomeKit New-2 ScoketVerified PurchaseLasted a harsh Canadian winter in the prairies! It turns on and off as expected every day. There were 2 times where unit malfunctioned. One time is because there was a firmware upgrade and the other time was a mystery. I simply unplugged it and waited 30 seconds before plugging it in again and worked no problem. It is about 50 feet from our wifi router and no issues with connection. The app is fantastic and works well with my iPhone. I've tested its integration with Apple Home and no issues at all. It also works with Alexa, Google, and SmartThings. The best feature is setting the on/off times. I have my patio lights come on automatically 30 mins. before sunset and off by midnight. I'd buy another one if needed.

4.0 out of 5 stars No tan fácil de instalar en México
Pattern Name: SocketStyle: HomeKit New-2 ScoketVerified PurchaseNo es el más fácil de configurar desde Android, la app indica que no puede detectar de forma automática los modelos que funcionan con homekit de Apple, así que hay que hacerlo manual seleccionando de una lista de modelos, pero tampoco sale en la lista de modelos porque dice que los modelos pueden no estar disponibles en otros países y que la marca no recomienda usarlos fuera de USA. Como sea, al final seleccioné otro modelo parecido y sí pude instalarlo, funciona muy bien con Alexa, Google y Siri.

1.0 out of 5 stars Range for wifi network is less than 35ft.
Pattern Name: SocketStyle: HomeKit New-2 ScoketVerified PurchaseThis product is awful. The whole point of it being HomeKit accessible is to be able to have this product connect to wifi and set it up with your Apple HomeKit, or with any smart home software (Alexa, Google etc.). I have a wifi router set up in my open concept condo on the TV stand.
The plug is on the patio (outside where it's advertised as being used for) measured just under 35 feet away from the wifi router (which is naturally inside my house). The only obstruction between my wifi router and the plug is a floor to ceiling windowed wall/ patio door. The device cannot pick up any signal and is constantly unresponsive unless the door is left wide open, again its all windows, no concrete, wood, or anything in the way. I checked it at a plug right beside the router and it works fine, I move it to another plug further away and its signal strength plummets. Absolutely trash level performance item for a product that is designed to be outside in situations I would assume where most people have homes which the outside plugs would not be as close to a wifi router as I am in a condo this is a completely useless product.
It gets one start for at least being a "power bar" and turning one outlet to 2...
