Smart Power Strip, 65W GaN Fast Charger, 4 Outlet + 2 USB C + 1 USB A, WiFi Plug with 2 PD Ports, Support Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings, Voice/Remote Control, 2.4GHz Only

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.

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.

I use Meross smart sockets around the house and thought this might be a good idea. I picked the one with a decent USB charger built in, since I already planned to buy one anyway. The charger works well and provides a reasonable amount of power (I saw a bit over 50 watts, though I do not have a device that needs more). It has 2 USB C and one USB 3.0 built in. I managed to connect the strip to Home Assistant. Unfortunately, the extension only worked for a day before disconnecting from WiFi, even though it is just 2 meters from the router. I couldn't reconnect it and had to perform a factory reset. It worked for another day and disconnected again. Very disappointing experience, especially compared to the smart sockets. Although it was purchased as new, the device arrived with scratches straight out of the box.

I have a number of Meross products and can't fault them. They work and are not expensive. This power strip is excellent, particularly with the USB C charging ports. The one niggle is pairing the products in the app. Some I have found work first time, pairing immediately. Others several tries are needed. With this, the power strip, I had ensured only 2.4 GHz was running on my network. First attempt the app saw it as did HomeKit but then nothing else, it saw it and that was it. I tried several times, factory resets as well, before eventually getting it seen and in the app and functioning in HomeKit. I found that leaving mains power off for a time, ensuring the network was 2.4GHz only, switching on and holding the on button down for a reset, eventually got it to be seen by the app. You have to input the model number in the app for it to be found. It never found it of its own volition. Don't rush the pairing process, it takes some minutes, just let it happen and it will do its thing. Once installed it an excellent piece of kit to have.

Pros, very easy to set up. Especially when Integrated into Home Assistant. Looks good, first well in what I have. Cons, not sure if the USBs are working correctly. I can only use one at a time. If I plug two devices it causes them to flicker on and off. I have checked the wattage and it seems to be regardless of what I plug in. Wall mounting is a pain. It fits well vertically but horizonally it will fall off a lot. Should have had a cross for full wall mounting functionality. However easily overcome with some wire clips and/or a shaped bit of wood mounted to secure against it. Dear god the green lights are bright, I've put masking tape over them to dull them. Overall worth it, it might just be my devices draw a little more power than expected but I only use one at a time.

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.

I have a number of Meross devices and when they work, they're brilliant. I have issues with this device that if I have to reboot my wifi router, the power strip never reconnects afterwards. Yes it works as a powerstrip but I could have purchased a 'dumb' strip for a fifth of the price. I'm not ruling out that it's the fault of my TP-Link router, but all my other non-Meross devices work still........

Excellent product. I have several and they work really well. Super handy to fast charge my devices by plugging the cable right into the strip.
