Product Information

Full details

The Meross Smart Power Strip is designed for users looking to centralize and automate power management for multiple devices in their home or office. Its key benefit is the ability to control 6 individual AC outlets and a group of 4 USB ports remotely via Wi-Fi, voice commands, or scheduled timers, simplifying daily routines and potentially saving energy. A key consideration is its reliance on a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network for connectivity.

FAQs

Can I control each AC outlet independently?

Yes, each of the 6 AC outlets can be controlled individually through the Meross app or voice commands.

How are the USB ports controlled?

The 4 USB A ports are controlled as a single group. You can turn them all on or off simultaneously.

What type of Wi-Fi network is required?

The Meross Smart Power Strip requires a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network for connectivity. It does not support 5GHz networks.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Basic on/off functionality might work locally, but remote control, voice commands, and scheduling require an active internet connection for both the power strip and your control device.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The power strip supports AC devices up to 13A and USB ports support up to 4.0A. The total USB output is 20W MAX.

Is it safe to use with sensitive electronics?

Yes, it is designed with safety in mind, featuring a flame-retardant PC material and overload protection to safeguard connected appliances.

Can I set custom schedules for devices?

Yes, you can create custom schedules and timers in the Meross app to automate when your devices turn on or off, including sunrise and sunset settings.

Troubleshooting

Device not connecting to Wi-Fi

Ensure you are connecting to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Check if your Wi-Fi password is correct and that the power strip is within router range. Try resetting the power strip and restarting the setup process.

Voice control not responding

Verify that the Meross skill/action is enabled in your Alexa or Google Home app and that your Meross account is linked. Ensure the device names in the Meross app are clear and easy for voice commands.

App shows device as offline

Check your home's internet connection. Restart your router and the Meross power strip. Ensure the power strip is still within Wi-Fi range.

USB ports not charging devices

Confirm that the USB ports are enabled in the Meross app. Check if the total USB output is within the 20W MAX limit. Try plugging the device directly into a wall charger to rule out device-specific issues.

Overload protection triggered

Unplug the power strip and remove any connected devices. Reduce the number of devices or replace high-draw appliances with lower-wattage ones to stay within the 13A limit. Then, plug the power strip back in.
