If you're able to set it up on the first try, do not use the Meross app to update; it will make it useless unless you restart it multiple timesWorked fineI have a set of HomePod minis set up in stereo as a sound bar for my LG TV. I purchased one of these last night and it was great. I decided I wanted to get another to hook my TV and Apple TV to the outlet behind my LG. I mounted the HomePod mini on the side of the TV with small floating shelves. When I went to plug the two Meross dual smart plugs into the wall outlet, the second one wouldn’t fit. I wish they would reconsider the shape since it is slightly rounded on the top.Luckily I have a mini three prong 6 inch extension. Even though it doesn’t look pretty it’s behind my TV.Otherwise this is a perfect product for me. When I need to reset my HomePod minis or Apple TV, I no longer will have to pull the TV away from the wall and plug and unplug.Plus it will make it easy when I am away to shut everything off in my home theater room.A few years ago, "smart home" sounded like some expensive future luxury. Thank to the fast development of affordable/practical smart home modules & ecosystems (i.e. Homekit, etc) the "smart home" is easily accessible for everyone. Instead of having your home retrofitted with some whole home "smart house" system, it seems to come in small incremental steps (at least for me). It started with a smart thermostat, them smart cameras, then a Meross smart garage door module (awesome product by the way) ... all these have opened my mind to other areas for "Smart Home" automation. Recently I found myself crawling under my desk to unplug a set of studio monitor speakers which didn't have an off off switch - that got old quick so since I liked how my Meross Garage door opener was compatible with my Google home, I decided to buy the Meross MS110HK smart plugs because they were HomeKit compatible so I can use SIRI to control my plugs with a simple voice command. Th plugs were not yet on the market so I contacted Meross support and they were awesome as they kept my name on file and contacted me to let me know when they were ready for purchase (great customer support). I quickly found more uses for the smart plug so decided to buy the Meross Dual Smart Plug - works great and just adds more functionality to my already small smart home setup. I like that you can identify each plug separately. Love that these are Homekit compatible and also work with my Google home voice commands. When I go on vacation, it is simple to setup these plugs to turn on lights on a set schedule for security. So many uses, great integration with other smart home ecosystems and great support - what more could you want. Highly recommend. One note: at first the plugs were a bit hard to insert into the unit but if you worked them a bit, you could loosen the connection so plugs would fit smoothly.I have been a long time user of meross products and have a dozen or more around the house for managing everything from lamps, to our coffee pot, to holiday lights. I also have their garage door opener. They've all been solid performers and comparable to the much more expensive brands (which I also own several versions of). So when I saw their newest dual outlet product, I decided to pick one up to try, thinking that it will simplify a few areas of our decorations. I set up routines via Alexa to turn on lights at different times, ensure the coffee pot is turned off, etc.Like all the meross products I have so far, the setup on this device was super easy. Each individual plug is individually controllable via the app, routines, and Alexa. However, one slight downsize is that the physical button only controls both outlets together and there isn't a way to physically turn on/off only one outlet at a time. That's not a problem for my application, but might be for you depending on your planned use.I added a couple pictures to compare the size to other devices. You can see that the dual outlet is about the same size as a single wemo and not much larger than the single meross that I already have. The single meross devices are designed to fit together in an outlet (one above the other), but the dual is slightly taller and doesn't fit easily over another device. You can see this in my third picture. They both work at the slight angle, but aren't as secure as I like.Overall the meross smart devices have been a solid smart home system for me. And this dual smart plug is another useful addition for certain senarios.Decent product not well made. Assuming electronics are cheap. I have smart plugs for 5 years and still working while this shorted itself out after 1 year and 7 months. Look somewhere else for smart products.This 2 in 1 smart plug is handy. It works like most others, but has 2 (individually functioning) receptacles in one case; so it takes up less space in a wall receptacle than having 2 separate units. It's also less costly. It works with the Company's 'Meross' app and is compatible with Android, iOS, Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. I have an Android phone and a Google Home unit. I could not test it with Apple products or Alexa.The setup was surprisingly easy. I have a number of smart plugs from other manufactures. All work well, but with all the others I've had a lot of frustration getting them to work with the Google Home units. I expected the same with this one, but was very wrong (I'll come back to that).Written instructions came with the unit. I followed them, easily, for getting the unit to work with the Meross Android app. I tested it and it worked fine the first time. Then I proceeded to try to hook it up to my Google Home unit. I expected problems since there was really no instruction showing how to do it. After fumbling around for a while and not finding any way to make the connection, I just tried talking to it "Hey Google, turn on smart plug 1". And, it just worked. There was NO setup required, None! I felt foolish after wasting time trying to find out how to do it. It was all automatic.I'm very impressed with this unit.Se instaló fácilmente en mi red de Home Kit y los primeros días trabajó muy bien, sin embargo, ya empezó a fallar, “desconectándose” de la red, teniendo que sacarlo de la corriente eléctrica para que vuelva a funcionar. Lo barato termina costando caro. La marca que usaba (SYLVANIA) tiene más de un año funcionando sin un solo problema. Quise probar algo más económico y ha sido un errorI downloaded the Apple HomeKit app for iOS. I was going to use it to control the timer on my grow lights. But as the screenshots show, there is no function for the Apple HomeKit timer.So I was about to write a scathing review and send it back to Amazon when I felt like someone would see my comment and think that I was foolhardy to not try harder.So I felt the pressure and downloaded the Meross app in the Apple App Store, and BANG, it worked effortlessly.Now I can keep this smart plug and grow plants on a smart timer. Cheers!This is my 3rd Meross dual outlet. They all work the same. Most of the time they’re ok but once in a while they lose the wifi and become “unreachable” for a while. Nothing can be done; unplugging/re-plugging doesn’t make any difference. The Meross app has a few strange behaviors as well. Sometimes the device icons in the app flash randomly. It doesn’t affect the function, only the appearance in the app. Also, while the individual plugs are highly customizable in the app, the dual outlets are not. I complained to Meross; their answer was not helpful and they have not made any improvements. I use these plugs with HomeKit and they work fine.I have 2 of these dual plugs, and can't recommend them. They keep disconnecting from wifi, and just say "unreachable". Which mean your automatic routines don't work, and you can't use Google commands to turn them on or off. The only way to get them to work is to manually turn them on or off, but then what's the point of having them? If you unplug and re-plug them they immediately connect back to the network, at least for a day or two. I have noted that it is the same side that always disconnects, so you can actually use one side, but then why get this dual outlet? I have owned these for over a year and firmware updates have not corrected the problem. I have numerous single Meross outlets which work fine - don't buy the duals!
