The media could not be loaded. —— Overview/Summary ——This is the new Meross Touch Bedside Table Light that supports Apple HomeKit (not to be confused with the Meross LED Night Light). This is now my 6th Meross device purchase and third light based product from Meross. This is by far my favourite and I shall be buying another to have one on both bedside tables and maybe even some for guest rooms.The Touch bedside table light is very well made, extremely simple to use and inoffensive to look at. On top of the unit is a single touch button that is very easy to use to turn the lamp on, change the brightness, colour and turn it off. The power cable plugs into the back of the lamp (using a small barrel connector) and runs to a wall outlet.I am currently trialling using the Touch light as a bedside light having replaced the Meross night light (which is now being used in the spare room). Having tried both Meross’s light offerings I think that this is my favourite with its simple and sleek design.One thing worth noting:1.) As Meross mention on the listing, you cant currently set the true white colour temperatures right now within HomeKit and have to use the Meross app to do this for the time being (they are trying to get this resolved with Apple shortly).————— Setup —————The setup process for the Meross Touch Light is straight forward (although I did have to rest the device a couple of times by pressing the touch button for 5 seconds to be able to set it up) when setting up in the Meross App (exactly the same as their other products) or if configured directly into HomeKit. Done using the HomeKit code on the bottom of the unit as it connects directly to Wifi like the rest of Meross’s HomeKit products so far. And thus doesn’t require any annoying hubs and has been an almost flawless experience - I will mention however that I run my Wifi network as separate 2.4 and 5Ghz networks which I think helps the simplicity of setup as Meross devices only support 2.4Ghz networks.—— HomeKit Compatibility ——With a few days of use so far it has worked great with HomeKit and voice control with Siri to turn the light on, change colour and the brightness. However I have primarily been using the great touch button as it is beside the bed. I have had no issues with connection dropping out or range issues and the light responded quickly.As I have noted above in the overview you cant currently set the true white colour temperatures right now within HomeKit and have to use the Meross app to do this for the time being (they are trying to get this resolved with Apple shortly). This isn’t a big issue as the white that HomeKit can set is totally usable and if you want a different white you can quickly change it in the Meross App or by pressing the top touch button.NOTE: The Meross Touch Bedside Light is also compatible with Google Home, Amazon Alexa and SmartThings, however I have not tested these features as I have a HomeKit orientated smart-home and wouldn’t be able to provide any good feedback on that use-case.

This thing’s brilliant.I bought it expecting a bit of a gimmick, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The Meross Smart Lamp looks great, works perfectly, and is surprisingly well made. It fits right in on a bedside table or desk without looking cheap or bulky.The touch controls are smooth, but the real magic is in the WiFi connectivity — I’ve got it synced with HomeKit and it just works. Voice control through Siri, automation at night, dimming schedules — all effortless. You can set the brightness and colour just how you want it, whether you’re winding down or getting up early without blasting yourself with daylight.No lag, no disconnections, no messing around. Setup took minutes. The app works well (rare for smart gear), and it plays nicely with everything I’ve thrown at it.If you want a light that’s subtle, modern, and properly smart, this is an absolute gem. Meross have nailed it with this one.

Build qualityI've had this for a couple of months now and the build quality is excellent. It's a one piece unit, enclosed in a hard plastic shell.Ease of useSetting up the meross app was trivial - it took no time at all and linking to alexa took less than 5 minutes. It hasn't decoupled and has been used daily.LightingVery bright at full brightness and the fact that the light is uniform across the lamp means that there is excellent coverage.AppThe app is simple to use, allows you to choose from multiple colours and works as it should.OverallWell worth the money - a good choice for a simple room lamp.

impressed with the lamp. Its bright and the different colours are cool.easy to install although had to do it twice as it failed the first time but works well now.

I've always loved Philips Hue lights to add some ambience to rooms at home, and using HomeKit on iOS has also been quite appealing in order to manage various IoT devices at home too. Since working from home, I have tried to make my desk in the office more exciting than you would get at a workplace, so when I saw this little lamp, I saw the positive reviews and figured that given the price, I would take the plunge.I am really glad I did! The lamp is remarkably well built and doesn't look "cheap" or placticky either. Setting it up was a doddle - I didn't bother with the Meross app at first (more on that later) and just scanned the QR code from within my Home app on my iPhone and within a few seconds, my new lamp was connect and controllable! Fantastic.With more and more IoT based devices coming from China, I am a little sceptical about using their mobile apps to control a device that can otherwise work in native apps. I decided to give Meross a try, and it is surprisingly intuitive! In fact, I would say that controlling the colour and brightness of the lamp is better within Meross than Apple's Home app, plus the scenes are much better! For some reason, Apple's HomeKit has trouble with colours and scenes - often coming on a completely different colour to what I set it, but with Meross this is no problem.I now have a great little lamp on my desk - set to daylight white during the day, which then changes to a dark orange as I approach the end of my working day - a subtle reminder it's almost time to finish up.The touch sensitive control on the top takes a little getting used to, but again, is ideal for a bed-side lamp.Would definitely recommend these lamps - I may get one or two more in the future!Disclaimer: This lamp was purchased by myself and not given as any form of "freebie" incentive by the seller. I opted to buy based on the reviews and I am glad I did.
