As JSONBourne described in the Amazon deal:
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.
AU$ based on current Mastercard rate at time of posting and GST inclusive.
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.
For those paying in USD this is how you get the correct exchange rate in PayPal:
Setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion results in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:
- Set the website currency to USD
- Checkout with PayPal
- Select your card with no international fees
- Click "See currency options"
- Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
- Proceed with checkout
Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate.
I got a couple of these for around $30 a few weeks ago.
I was a bit underwhelmed with them arriving with just 2 plugs in the box and I had to google to try and work out how to set them up. When I followed the instructions on the website it took about 10 times trying them before they worked.
Now they are up and going they seem ok but I cant see a way to rename them on google home from "Plug", the default name.
