I bought a Wemo smart plug at Costco on sale and has been solid, no issue

[xaviera]

I have the Meross 2 plug and love it. It’s taken the Florida sun and rain for over a year with daily use. It controls my exterior lighting and has never failed. I’ve also used the Aqara wall switch to control it manually when not using the timing automation.

[chuckbradley]

I use a Meross 2 Outlet on my porch and it has been great for my string lights and also a Christmas tree. I have not had any problems, but it’s not too far from my Wi-Fi.

[AdamsTechLife]

I’ve been a huge fan of Meross double outlet. It powers my string lights and works well for me. Great comparison!

[davidschlemmer]

Great comparison video. I currently have a meross two outlet plug. WiFi range is terrible. Drops off constantly even with my phone showing full bars

[lowlifejorge]

I had the Meross and it recently took a dump after a year, think the AZ sun burnt it. I was considering the Lutron but i dont like the need for a bridge. I think im going to try out the Wemo.

My Meross outdoor plug has worked and connected flawlessly and Siri understands commands well. I can turn off the outlets or the “fan” or “deck lights” equally simply. Was on sale for $19.99

Nice review! Am a firm believer of the Lutron ecosystem. I have multiple Lutron smart plugs & switches though-out my house. That being said, I have the IHome outdoor iSP100 plug and it has done the job for me. It was the only game in town a few years ago. I only use it 2 months of the year, so while I love the Lutron, I will keep the my current set up until it dies.

I have a few Meross outdoor plugs, both the Homekit and non-homekit versions. I initially had connectivity issues, but they went away after a firmware update.

I just use them for holiday lighting, so amperage is not an issue.

[danjohnston]

I used the Meross 2 plug last Christmas for outside lights in sub-zero Michigan weather with no issues. Did not have any issues with dropping cold temps. It was for only about month though.

[clovertechdev]

excellent video, test them like an engineer.

Hey Shane, I really enjoyed the latest video and I wanted to say that I really appreciate the spreadsheet showing all of the information for each of these outlets. That is very helpful to me in helping me see the differences between these outlets and which ones I would want to consider for my home.

I currently have the Meross 2-outlet plug and I do like being able to control the two outlets separately. But, do I really need that capability is questionable. I too have also had issues with the WiFi dropping out on my Meross outlet. They do require excellent WiFi coverage in my experience. I already have Lutron Caseta switches throughout my house and I am seriously considering changing the Meross outdoor plug over to the Lutron outdoor plug. I will make that decision around Thanksgiving in time for putting up my Christmas Lights.

I have to say that I definitely prefer the Meross plug over the iDevices Outdoor Switch. The iDevices plug has stood the time of time though.

[ochsfamily]

Just bought a Meross 2 plug option. Hooked up fine easygoing at startup.. we will see.

[whatmeworry]

I use the Lutron for a pool pump. Performs 100% perfectly ( you get what you pay for ).

[rexhua]

Great sensible comparison and recommendation!

[dnoland]

I've had meross stuff installed for a couple of years. So far 2 switches have failed, 1 dimmer and 1 standard single pole. So far all the plugs have been solid but as stuff goes bad or I add stuff I'm going with Kasa. Then again I use echo, not apple so I don't have to worry about compatibility.

[BryceRKoehn]

I purchased some iHome outdoor plugs for Christmas lights and am going to use them for string lights in the summer when my deck is finished. I think it’s rated for 15amps. They are hard to come by though as they seem to be out of stock everywhere. I think I bought it for $40 at Home Depot on sale but in Amazon they are $84. Build quality is good but that’s too expensive in my opinion especially when I got mine for $40.

Do you have a Amazon page? I have seen a couple other smart home YouTubers with a link to a Amazon page with all the gear they have or have used. But most of them are google or Alexa.
