" ...  Bought a 4-pack of these as my first foray into smart plugs with my Amazon Echo, and I have to say I'm very satisfied. ... I installed the Meross app on my iPhone, and you then run the app and plug one of these in. ... You name the plug anything you want (though I'd suggest unambiguous names if you're using Alexa) and then the Alexa app sees the plug and you can control it using the Meross app, the Alexa app (which offers more combinations with other devices) or with your voice using your Echo. ... And you can change their names later in the Meross app and Alexa just picks that change up. ... I've currently got two of these as well as three smart bulbs all in one "All the lights" group in Alexa so I can turn everything off with one command, and I can either turn things on one at a time or with other groups I've set up. ... It's pretty cool to tell Alexa to turn off all the lights and then have everything go off at the same time, no matter what happened to be switched on. ... And where this is all connected through Alexa, I can turn my lights (or anything else) on and off from wherever I might be.  ...  "

" ...  The MEROSS app is quite usable and allows you to assign photos as your controllers to easily identify them. ... If you have google home or alexa, take another step by opening HOME app on your phone and choosing MEROSS as the manufacturer, then you can group the items or assign new nicknames and use your voice to controll them.  ...  "
