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.

Arrived quickly. I had hoped to add these 4 new smart plugs to my Smart Life App as I already have 7 smart plugs on that app, but the App won't recognise these Refoss plugs. However, using the Refoss App the plugs were quickly installed and also linked to Alexa. The Refoss App is basic in its layout. Whilst you can group your WiFi plugs under the 'Scenes' tab they are not colour codes for ease of recognition and finding the Timer programming settings is not clearly labelled. The easiest to set timers is by Alexa Voice control. Compared with my other Wi-Fi Apps the Refoss App is the only one that monitors electricity usage on each plug. Overall the plugs do what's required and are reliable and can be controlled remotely by installing and using the Refoss App on Smartphone or Tablet wherever there's a mobile signal. I recently replaced storage heaters with infrared heaters on a single electricity tariff. These Wi-Fi plugs give me total control over my heating. I can switch them 'on' an 'off' or set timers for each heater without physically going near the heaters, so no stairs to climb. Another great application of the wifi plug is that I can set a timer to switch on my slow-cooker and have my meal ready when I arrive home, as well as have rooms at a comfortable temperature on arrival. At time of submitting this review this pack of 4 x Refoss plugs is competitively priced, and value for money. Because you can control and monitor electricity usage of appliances connected to the Wi-Fi plug, these plugs are definitely a good investment which I heartily recommend!

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

Great plugs to use and manages usage and bills, two got faulty and their support gave a replacement with quick delivery

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

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.

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

Used on Xmas tree and outside lights. Works very well via Alexa or App. Monitors usage. Excellent bit of kit.
