A bit expensive for four sockets
I emailed tech support with the problem, including all the steps I had done and all the errors. A response came in 24 hours simply restating the steps I had followed. They didn't even bother to read the email.
Homekit Setup
In 2022, no device should refuse to connect to 5Ghz, and yet, this power strip rquires 2.4Ghz. If you use a modern WiFI router both networks likely have the same SSID. If so, you have to disable 5Ghz (or change the name of your 2.4Ghz network, if your router permits it), switch your iPhone to that network, and then try to connect. This failed miserably with my Eero WiFi mesh routers, even after disabling 5Ghz and WPA3, and setting the router in 'legacy mode'.
In order to get this device to connect, I had to dig out an old Airport Express router, configure it with separate SSIDs for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Even then it wasn't simple, as the Homekit configuration failed every time. Eventually, I configured it with the Meross app without Homekit support. That finally worked, and I could then add it to Homekit.
It literally took two hours to do something that should take five minutes, mostly because this unit only supports 2.4Ghz and doesn't like WiFi6 routers.
Note, my Ring equipment does not directly support Homekit, but using Homebridge I was able to integrate it into Homekit in less than 30 minutes start to finish, including downloading specialized software (a Docker container) to my Synology. Meross needs to get their act together.
-2 stars for the lack of 5Ghz and the hoops necessary to connect to Home kit.
-1 star for poor tech support
-1 for sugestion of turning off 5Ghz AND turning off Wifi 6 on my Eero to resolve this problem.
