I am very interested in automating a lot of things in my home, so I researched many brands of smart devices.
I did not want to have to install several apps for different manufacturers of smart devices, or be involved with different ecosystems, so I was looking for one brand to rule them all.
Meross seems to fit the bill. They make the most smart devices from what I can tell, but more importantly quality devices that are easy to setup. They support all the big automated options: Alexa, Google and IFTTT.
These smart plugs are no exception.
All it takes is a few clicks in the app to connect to the device and add it to your network, once you've given your Wi-Fi credentials to the app. You give it a name, choose an icon for it and you're done.
Once you have multiple devices in the app, you can put them in groups to control them together. Then you can create "scenes" where you can specify the state of any or all of the devices. You can also create schedules for the scenes to automate morning or night routines, or whatever you want.
I can tell Google (nest mini) to turn off the living room lamps, or all the lights, and this works flawlessly. The plugs also work with Alexa and IFTTT, which is a custom interface in which you can create rules that connect to other services or apps for further automation.
I have used these with the Meross app, google integration and IFTTT, all have worked as expected.
They are on the large side, and will block other plugs on a power strip or surge protector if not generously spaced, and depending on how they're oriented. That may just be the industry Norm size though.
One thing I wish it had is a 5ghz wifi antenna.
I was really trying to weed out 2.4ghz devices from my home, and had almost succeeded. But alas, it is a necessary evil. This also may be a design limitation, due to 5ghz requiring at least one extra antenna that would make the plug even bigger.
I have found creative uses for these. My favorite so far is for my reciever. It has a "feature" where it stops responding to it's remote app every once in awhile, with the solution being to disconnect and reconnect the power cable. The manufacturer considers this not an issue. Since the plug is behind a huge entertainment center, it was a real pain to do this every time. Now I can comfortably click it off with a button on my phone, or tell Google to turn the receiver off, and back on again. Which is pretty satisfying.
These plugs are also very cost-effective.
They cost less per plug than one of those timers you plug into an outlet. This easily replaces that device for less money and has infinitely more capability.
Since purchasing these plugs I've had no reliability issues with them, but one time the power went out for a few minutes and came back on. When the power restored, all the plugs continuously turned on and off until I pressed the power button on each to get them to stop, then restored the wifi so they were happy.
This was a bit concerning to me as I watched my receiver power on and off about 10 times. Nothing came of it, but that is one issue I hope can be fixed through the app. If I had not been home I'm not sure how long that would have gone on.
Since purchasing these I've aqcuired an outdoor rated 2 plug power strip, smart dimmer switch and smart garage door opener. I've been happy with all of them. I'm already planning on getting 3-way smart dimmer switches and more wall plugs.
Meross seems like a very future proof choice and so far I'm really happy with my Meross powered home.

Could not add to Homekit nor Alexa (see update below)
Update: After getting the message "Unable to connect to Network", I noticed that the LED was green and no longer blinking. I returned to Home section in the Meross app, clicked on the + icon (top right) and was able to add the plug into Meross. Then I upgraded to the latest firmware. I then reset the plug by pressing the on/off button until hearing a click and restarted the setup thru the Meross app using the Matter Code. This time, I was able to add the plug in HomeKit!!I cannot add it either to HomeKit nor Alexa. In Homekit I get a mesdsage "Unable to connect to Network"??? My WiFi is working properly. As sugggested by Meross, during setup I'm only using one Hub, which is my 2nd generation Homepod connected to my 2.4Ghz Wifi, I rebooted my router, resetted the plug and I unplugged and waited 15 minutes to reconnect the plug. Still cannot add it. I have wasted a lot of time trying to setup this plug....

Style: Non-HomeKit Plug 4 PackVerified Purchase
I had been a wemo user since 2016, and throughout the years of using wemo, I was growing tired of it. My very first wemo works fine, but it was just super bulky. The next 3 wemos I would purchase would be a nightmare though. I would always have connections issues with the latest ones because they started making them to be synced to the home app kit, which was so annoying because I could get them to show up on the home app but never on the actual wemo up! (Which was the app I wanted to use)
So I started looking around for new smart plugs and heard about these affordable, good brand meross (thank you YouTube 🙏🏻)
So far I am very pleased with these smart plugs. The only little constructive critism I have is for them to update the app somehow in the "set routine" section for the lights. If you want to have scheduled times to turn on and turn off, you have to create BOTH on and off times (which is kinda tedeous not gonna lie).
But other than that, so pleased that the set up was super easy and connectivity was super fast.
I included a side by side photo for those wondering how big it is in the wall.
