Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip HS300, Surge Protector with 6 Individually Controlled Smart Outlets and 3 USB Ports, Works with Alexa & Google Home, No Hub Required
The Meross comes with an app that’s very simple to setup and use. You can setup timers as well as manually turn on/off from the app as well as with the module itself (it has a switch on the side). Currently I’m using four of them and have another 4 on order. This is what it looks like on the app.Thank you! @Woodyman @lagatbezan the ones you showed me - do they come with an APP than for controlling? Is it relatively simple?

They're pretty cheap, and give you 70% of the functionality of a controller for MUCH less.
The power monitoring isn't isn't same with the singles.Yes app is available for control. Kasa also makes single plugs that do the same as far as smart function and power monitoring.
Well that's a bummer. I had planned on getting some singles since I had the impression it was the same functionality. Guess I'll just get another stripI use and absolutely love the kasa power strips and individual outlets.

Function is the same as far as I know but monitoring is different. All you get for monitoring is the runtime screen and not the power monitoring screen.Well that's a bummer.

I just added 4 more to my system and it’s super easy. Just use the Meross app and follow the manual add option. It should take less then 1 minute to complete for each device.I got the Meross ones and I am just super frustrated. Every single timer I get is just a piece of crap. You think in this modern day of age where we create particle colliders and cars running on water they can make a simple app and digital timer. It almost seems like its super complicated on purpose just so you give up and throw it away.
2 apps for a single device?? Why do I have to install the "Homekit" and "Meross App".. Do I even have to get both? These instructions are horrible confusing and not working out the way they should. Anyone with this thing want to help me?
I think I got the Homekit ones because it comes with two instructions to set them up: for HomeKit and Meross. I clicked HomeKit compatible and now it seems to be working. Still I got it working last week and for some reason the outlet/smart plug became "unrecognizable"I just added 4 more to my system and it’s super easy.

I don’t think they are HomeKit compatible so chose that when it asks you when setting it up.
Gotcha. Yeah mine states it’s not homelink compatible so I’m using the Meross app with no issues.I think I got the Homekit ones because it comes with two instructions to set them up: for HomeKit and Meross.
