I've been using the meross Smart Power Strip for a few months now, and it's completely transformed how I manage my electronics. The ability to control each of the 4 AC outlets individually via voice (Alexa/Google/Siri) is a dream—no more crawling behind my TV stand to unplug devices!
The USB ports are perfect for keeping my phone, tablet, and smartwatch charged overnight. I love that I can schedule the USB ports to turn off during work hours to save energy—no more 'vampire power' drain from idle chargers.
Setup was surprisingly smooth with the meross app (though I did have to temporarily disable my 5GHz WiFi band during configuration). The physical build feels sturdy, and the blue LED indicators make it easy to see which outlets are active in dim lighting.
My favorite use case? Creating an 'Entertainment Mode' routine that powers up my gaming console, speakers, and LED lights with a single voice command. The surge protection gives me peace of mind during storms too.
While the 2.4GHz-only requirement might frustrate some users, the reliability and granular control make this strip worth the minor setup hassle. It's become the unsung hero of my smart home ecosystem.
