Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2023When I first came across this brand, I was a bit hesitant based on a lot of reviews stating that the device constantly loses connection. I've actually had the exact same experience till I dug a bit deeper and found a few things within my router's settings that make these devices a lot more stable. Now, these changes might not work for everyone's router, but I'm currently running an ASUS XT8 mesh router, IN MESH MODE, and have had zero issues connecting these devices to the 2.4ghz network nor do I have connection issues anymore.
Meross technical support told me to remove my mesh setup and separate the bands which initially did help but I was still losing connecting from time to time randomly. What I ended up finding out is that if you make these devices have a Static IP as well as BIND them to a certain node (if you're running a mesh system), they work perfectly fine in Mesh mode. So now, I have 1 SSID, my routers are in the mesh setup I initially purchased them for, and I haven't lost connection to any of the 3 devices from this company in quite some time.
The other reason I purchased these is that it works amazingly with all my automations through SmartThings. Such an easy fit into my smart ecosystem and all my routines have no issues running with these devices. Super impressed once the connection issues were gone.
Finally, this Outdoor plug has no issues with the Canadian winters that I've so far tested it in. I use it for our blowup Christmas decorations and although it's not physically in the open, it still gets snowed on and such.
