A fresh ATL on meross's mini smart plugs - just had a new Camel alert trigger this morning! These were a hit on a recent OzBargain deal (matter variant) so for those looking for a cheaper non-matter variety these are a fantastic alternative.

I've been running these for a couple of months now and they've been brilliant. I've integrated them into HA to automate room heaters, car charging, turn on and off some non-smart lamps for when I'm away on holidays. Super solid on wifi so far and haven't had any issues with connectivity or setup.

Amazon description:

  • Compact Yet Powerful Design: The ultra-compact design(4.3×6.2×6.5 cm) optimizes space efficiency without compromising functionality. Two smart plugs can be easily plugged in side by side without obstruction

  • Quick & Easy Setup: Set up your Meross smart plug effortlessly via Bluetooth and a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection. No hub required

  • Real-Time Energy Monitoring: Track power usage in real time and view historical consumption. Meross App lets you calculate electricity costs for reference and make informed decisions to lower your bills

  • Custom Schedules & Timer: Set daily timers, countdowns, or on/off schedules for connected devices

  • Offline Control & Scene Mode: Even without internet, control your alexa smart plug locally via the Meross app. Offline routines keep schedules and timers running. Group devices into scenes and control them all with one tap

Note these are not the Homekit/Matter variant. But they will still work with the meross app, Alexa/Google Home/Smart Things.

There is also a 4-pack available for $52.49 coming to $13.12/unit.

      Yep sub $15 for meross is an amazing price. Especially given they are fully featured. I personally prefer meross for the better app and I've had better experiences with quality.

        Pretty happy with the one I am using. Works perfectly for that job.

    • kungfuman on 18/08/2025 - 09:48

      yeah I would stick with the tapo I have about 8 of them and i only ended up using 6 of them lol. still got 2 spare that I dont' know what t do with yet.

    • orangehead911 on 19/08/2025 - 09:22

      The Tapos are great, and the manual button is on top, not on the side like the Meross. One would be blocked from access if using e.g. Clipsal's double outlets.

  • gadgetguy on 18/08/2025 - 09:37

    Presumably these do not work with the Tuya app?

    • JSONBourne on 18/08/2025 - 09:38

      Yep that's correct, they are meross in-house unless you bridge all devices to Google/Samsung home.

      • gadgetguy on 18/08/2025 - 09:55

        Thanks for confirming.

      • DeToxin on 18/08/2025 - 10:24

        Just because I haven't used any of these before: are you saying that all the features for these are set via an in-house app? - and then there is a way to feed any notifications to google HA? (I don't currently use HA but would like to automate a few things for on/off mainly)

        • Chandler on 18/08/2025 - 12:52
          +2

          Just to cover this portion of the question, as I don't have any Meross gear myself.

          and then there is a way to feed any notifications to google HA? (I don't currently use HA but would like to automate a few things for on/off mainly)

          You can connect Meross devices directly to Google Home, or you can connect them to Home Assistant (HA) and have HA connected with Google Home, and expose the Meross switches to Google that way (i.e. you want to use voice to ask for status or to toggle with the Meross switches).

          Up to you if you use Google or Home Assistant to automate things. Whilst Google has made improvements to it's automations, it pales in comparison to what you can do with Home Assistant.

        • JSONBourne on 18/08/2025 - 09:49

        What! Same here! I never thought about doing this.

      • Chandler on 18/08/2025 - 12:56
        +3

        It's funny what automations we find make the biggest differences.

        Mines probably the porch light. Switches on/off based on presence or door switch, with time delays. Doesn't run if the sun is above 3.5° elevation. Haven't touched the front light switch since (except to power cycle the light because it's decided to drop off the wifi network… going to switch it to a Tradfri bulb when I get around to getting another one).

    • samyall on 18/08/2025 - 09:53
      +1

      I use an RGB light to visually tell me when the washing is done which turns off once I open the washing machine door (using a door sensor). Its nice not having the washing machine yell at you when it is done and it acts as a reminder so you dont forget about the washing if it ends while you are out.

      • JSONBourne on 18/08/2025 - 09:57

        What light have you been using? I've been wanting to do the same for some other automations.

        • samyall on 18/08/2025 - 11:41
          +1

          Currently it is just one of my (many) Philips Hue in a lamp.

          My eventual plan is to get an addressable RGBWW strip and use different portions of it to indicate different things. E.g. left is washing machine, middle is dishwasher, right is microwave and the rest of the time it is providing light.

          EDIT: Something else I saw which this would be perfect for is indicating bin night. You have it show you the colour of the bin to be put out on a given night. I saw someone on the HA community then use machine vision to detect if the bin is out and turn the light off based on that.

      • impoze on 18/08/2025 - 09:58

        thinking to do the same with some WLED strips I have lying around.

        Too many unfinished projects

      • theguyrules on 18/08/2025 - 10:05

        I have a USB LED strip that I wanted to control with one of these but unfortunately it doesnt remember state when it loses power, so doesn't power back on automatically :(

    • mith on 18/08/2025 - 10:17

      How did you set this up? Does the notification trigger once power draw drops off for a certain time period?

      • impoze on 18/08/2025 - 13:38

        yes, triggered by current consumption.

      • JSONBourne on 18/08/2025 - 13:42

        Yes correct, based upon a power drop off after being above a threshold for a certain period of time. I manage it through HomeAssistant which is great for this.

    • SS625 on 18/08/2025 - 10:55

      how do you do that? is there like a setting you can check power usage ?

    • The Hobo on 18/08/2025 - 11:14
      +2

      I tried this before, but the washer goes down to no usage at times during the spin cycle, making it hard to know when it's genuinely finished - unless I add a significant delay/wait (think I needed 15 minutes?).

      • ricadam on 18/08/2025 - 12:22

        You will need a buffer to allow for drops like that. Does your power meter have a way to graph the energy usage? If so, just graph your wach cycle and then you should be able to determine how low the nergy goes it goes and for how long to set the buffer for.

    • Aguynamedlance on 18/08/2025 - 11:15

      I added a door sensor, then I made the notification persistent until I open the door (or the machine turns back on).

    • ilovefullprice on 18/08/2025 - 12:11

      Noob question. Do you mean washer and dryers are still consuming power even when they are not running (ie. washing and drying)?

      • JSONBourne on 18/08/2025 - 13:42
        +1

        They do but it's usually below 20W. My automation will wait for the plug to go above 20W for at least 15 minutes, and when it then drops below 20W that means a load is finished. Works perfectly.

    • bleeder on 18/08/2025 - 12:44

      How are you notifying? Trying to work out a good way to do this, was going to it to talk to me through a Google Home device but that could become annoying. Now I have a lamp I'm planning to change colours until I empty the washing machine, have a door sensor on my machine so I know when I've opened the door to empty, haven't set up the lamp yet.

      I have a notification for when I get home it tells me that the robot vacuum has run, considering something just for when I walk in but it will have to start queuing notifications if I have more than one, might start getting complicated… Find the voice a bit tedious after a while too, maybe a different tone depending on the notification.

    The title on Amazon includes the word WiFi. Not sure now whether these plugs connect via bluetooth or directly via WiFi. I'm running home internet via my phone and can not add more WiFi devices.

    • theguyrules on 18/08/2025 - 10:06
      +4

      They connect via wifi, yes. They just use bluetooth to let the app discover them for easier setup

    • JSONBourne on 18/08/2025 - 10:09

      The bluetooth is just for setup, but they use wifi after that point for connection. They also work in offline only mode, or LAN-only too.

    • End3vour on 18/08/2025 - 10:12

      Thanks for the replies. If after the set-up process they rely on WiFi to function on a permanent basis or even intermittently, then this won't work for me. Still not entirely clear on this, but haven't really looked into it either.

      • JSONBourne on 18/08/2025 - 10:14
        +3

        Yes they do require wifi to really get functionality out of them. You can program schedules into them that run without wifi, but you'll need wifi to communicate to the plugs to set this up initially.

    • oatmatcha on 18/08/2025 - 10:51

      I also use my phone for home internet. I ended up setting up an old broken iPhone with this free long-life data sim, and use it just for lights and plugs. Your main phone doesn’t need to be on the same network to control them.

      Alternatively you could set up HomeKit on your computer, and so you’ll at least have control while you’re home with your computer online.

      • End3vour on 18/08/2025 - 10:58

        Thank you for taking the time to reply and for your interesting idea. I do have an old iphone lying around that I recently started up, however not sure if OS matters and if I can have the relevant apps on this old phone. And I only have a work laptop that in principle stays in my bag during the week. Phone solution sounds like it's worth a try, but it'll have to be a 'set and forget' solution.

        • oatmatcha on 18/08/2025 - 11:06
          +1

          Nw! The old phone doesn’t need any apps. It just needs to work as a hotspot. Although it does need eSIM capability if you want to use the free Roamless offer.

          All the set up is done from your main phone (connect to hotspot of old phone, set up plug on Meross app, disconnect main phone from hotspot), then the plug stays online on your old phone hotspot.

          • End3vour on 18/08/2025 - 11:10

            @oatmatcha: Thank you again. I'll need to check if it has eSim capability, I'm afraid it may not have this.

          It will, you just need to use the merossLAN plugin. Many ways to do the same thing.

        This is just when setting up the MerossLAN integration. You have the option to choose via cloud or LAN. Always pick LAN, it's more responsive and you won't run into API limits this way.

        Any advantage of matter vs non-matter?

        • JSONBourne on 18/08/2025 - 13:44

          Just comes down to compatibility. You aren't locked into any one vendor this way and the plugs are designed to run in LAN-only mode by default. You can also use more decentralised networks this way.

          If you haven't deliberately setup a matter network, HomeKit or the one in this deal is probably sufficient depending whether you're iOS or Android at home.

  • swampson on 18/08/2025 - 10:51

    so "compatible with SmartThings" means it can be entirely / partially controlled alongside other Samsung items .. like SmartTags?
    I see the power monitoring is only via Meross app, which isnt such a big deal

    • JSONBourne on 18/08/2025 - 13:44

      It just means it integrates in with the SmartThings platform. I don't own Samsung myself, so how things can trigger between each device would be based upon what Samsung offers you.

    • blazerunner on 18/08/2025 - 11:51
      +3

      Matter is a newer, more broadly compatible protocol that is more universal between smart home device manufacturers, but it has not been adopted by all ecosystems yet. Whatever you're using as a hub would need to support this.

      These ones connect via the Meross app, or can be added to HomeAssistant with a Meross add-on IF you are running Home Assistant OS. If you are running Home Assistant in a container sadly you cannot use add-ons. There are some workarounds for setting up add-ons in additional docker containers and communicating with your main HA install, but this is quite deeply technical and a pain in the ass (imo).

    • deadpoet on 18/08/2025 - 12:03

      How are these Meross plugs chonky? They're literally one of the smallest plugs on the market, in fact they are slightly smaller than even the Tapo and Kasa smart plugs.

      You're thinking of the old plugs. These are the new style released some months ago, they fit perfectly side by side in standard Australian powerpoints.
