Meross MSP843 Smart Extension Lead, 65W GaN Charger, Apple Home, Alexa

I've gradually built much of my smart home around Meross products because they offer excellent value for money, and these smart extension leads are probably some of the most useful devices in my entire setup. In fact, I now own ten of them, which says more than anything else I could write. I use them all over the house for different jobs. Some control lighting, one powers my home theatre so the TV, AV receiver and accessories all come on together, while another manages the equipment in my studio, allowing me to switch everything on or off with a single command instead of walking around multiple devices. The combination of individually controlled sockets and the built-in USB charging makes them incredibly versatile. They're much more than just an extension lead—they become part of your smart home and open up all sorts of automation possibilities. The 65W GaN USB-C charging is a really useful bonus too, reducing the number of chargers I need on my desk. Mine are integrated into my Home Assistant, Apple Home and Alexa setup, and they've been consistently reliable. They respond quickly whether I'm controlling them manually, with voice commands or through automations, and I've never had issues with them randomly dropping offline. What I like most is that they've simplified everyday tasks. With a single tap or voice command I can power up an entire area of equipment, and scheduled automations mean I rarely have to think about turning things on or off myself. After buying ten of these over time, I think that speaks for itself. If you're looking for a smart extension lead that's reliable, versatile and excellent value for money, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. It's one of the standout products in the Meross ecosystem, and I'd happily buy another if I needed one.

I have three of these. They work very well with Apple HomeKit. The Meross App is a backup option too. Plugs and USB ports can be switched individually (all 3 USBs come on and off together, but separate to each plug socket). Reliable ... but sometimes loses connection when there is a power failure, and has to be repaired for the flashing green light to stop. However, this does not affect connectivity via WiFi using the Apple Home App. One of the three developed a failure in the USB ports - quick replacement provided by Meross via their customer support online.

The USB and USA ports have stopped working and I’m trying to get in touch with Meross as it’s been like this for about six months so it stopped working about a month after reported, which I’m hugely disappointed about. Otherwise overall it’s a good smart extension lead but it’s highlighted was how fast the outlets were, which of course are faulty. Anyway, I’ll try again and email them and hopefully have more joy.

Brilliant extension lead for fast usb-c charging and has the ability to switch off individual sockets or use through smart apps Highly recommended

I like some thing about Meross products, the app is great for configuring things, it works well with Alexa, and with Google Home. You can do some pretty neat routines with the app too. This Mains Distrobution strip is great, the USB C port is good enough to charge my laptop. Marked down because: The USB is an all or nothing affair, you cannot control power to individual ports. I have a few of these, and it is replacing one that stopped working after about 2 years.

I’ve found this really useful. So much I’ve brought a couple. For setting up, can be a little tricky, but once configured it works well. The USB ports work great, especially at charging larger devices. This is a well built device and not bad value for money. The scheduling of timing which sockets to come on and HomeKit integration has been really helpful.

Great product but , it loses its connection periodically and has to be set up again which is extremely annoying. Had two and both are same so not faulty just the way they work. The 65w usb -c output is not power full for lap top charging and that is so disappointing

This works great, you can only turn on/off all sockets and USB together using the power switch on the sockets, but with the App you can switch individual sockets. If you get a power cut that takes out your wifi and the sockets it does not reconnect to wifi, you need to power cycle the sockets again to get the connection back.
