Product Information

Full details

The meross Smart Power Strip is designed for users looking to centralize and automate control over multiple home devices. Its key benefit is providing flexible, remote, and voice-activated power management for up to 6 AC devices and 4 USB-powered gadgets. A potential caveat is its requirement for a 2.4GHz WiFi network for full smart functionality. This power strip features 6 individually controllable AC outlets and 4 USB ports with a total 20W output, integrating seamlessly with major smart home ecosystems like Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, Alexa, and Google Home.

Does it work with 5GHz Wi-Fi networks?

No, the meross Smart Power Strip requires a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network for operation. It is not compatible with 5GHz networks.

Can I use the meross app without a smart home assistant?

Yes, you can use the meross app for remote control, scheduling, and timers even if you do not use Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit.

Is there a physical button to turn the power strip on/off?

Yes, there is a main power button on the strip that can be used to manually turn all connected AC outlets on or off.

What safety features are included?

The power strip includes overload protection to prevent damage from excessive power draw and is constructed from flame-retardant PC material for fire safety.

How do I reset the power strip to factory settings?

To reset, press and hold the main power button on the strip for approximately 5-10 seconds until the indicator light flashes. This will remove it from your Wi-Fi network and app.

Troubleshooting

Power strip not connecting to Wi-Fi

Ensure you are using a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Check that your Wi-Fi password is entered correctly. Move the power strip closer to your router during setup. Restart your router and the power strip.

App cannot detect the power strip

Make sure the power strip is powered on and within Wi-Fi range. Close and reopen the meross app. Try resetting the power strip by holding the power button for 5-10 seconds until the indicator light flashes.

Voice commands not working

Verify that the meross account is correctly linked to your voice assistant (Alexa, Google Assistant, etc.). Ensure the device name in the meross app is clear and easy for the assistant to understand. Check your internet connection.

USB ports not charging devices

Confirm that the total USB output does not exceed 20W. Try using a different USB cable and device. Ensure the power strip is properly powered on.

Overload protection trips

Unplug devices and check their power consumption. Ensure the total load on the AC outlets does not exceed the power strip's rated capacity. Remove any overloaded devices before resetting.
