Merossas you will know if you have read our reviews, is a brand that specializes in the production of smart device with an eye on those who regard lighting.
In these 6 years of activity the company, whose motto identifies it as manufacturer of simple devices to make life easier of the consumer, he offered us a bit of everything from led strips to smart bulbs, passing through thermostats And doorbells various.
Today, in the course of this review, we will discover theMSL450an abbreviation that hides a smart ambient lightsuitable to be chosen as a companion to our bedrooms or our studies, as (as always) device simple and intuitive to use.
Unboxing and content of Meross MSL450
Our MSL450 it is inside a white package, which illustrates the product and its main characteristics; inside, held in place by two blocks of shockproof foam, we find the lampthe USB Type C cable And the power supplyalong with the warranty and a short manual.
The lamp looks like a tube with rounded corners, of small dimensions (18x10cm) in a satin white color that makes it elegant even when switched off; since it is an object that can be adapted to any environment, the design choice is certainly a winner.
Like the other devices Merossthe functions are numerous, many of which can be controlled via thecompanion app producer; however, the lamp has a couple of physical controls usable as needed.
On the top we have a on / off button which, pressed once and briefly, turns on the light while with the operating lamp, if pressed twice turns off the light, pressed briefly changes its color or effect and finally, by long pressing, it allows us to change the brightness up to the desired intensity.
In the lower part of our “tube” we find two other indicators, always touch, which are used to change the lamp usage mode and set the timer.
As for the modes, there are 3 types, which follow the types of light normally available, that is warm, cold light and to effect (iridescent), while pressing the other indicator we can activate the countdownpreviously set via the app.
Despite the presence of a cable USB Type C, combined with the shape of the power supply that resembles that of a smartphone, it could be misleading, the MSL450 works only when connected directly to the electrical outlet. It doesn’t have an internal battery, so it’s not a stand alone device.
Meross app
As already mentioned, and you have probably already seen in other reviews, the heart of the functionality of the devices Meross it’s in the companion app.
The pairing between app and device is very simple, as usual: just connect the smartphone or tablet to the domestic wi-fi and select the type of product to connect to.
The application will do everything automatically and in a few steps the pairing will be complete.
The app itself, as already seen, is not among the best being a bit confusing and including inactive sections (the one that should offer the best sellers from the store) or apparently abandoned like the forum.
In any case, the part that interests us most is the control center of the devices, which we already find in the home: by selecting the device to control we can turn it on and explore its features.
In the case of ours Smart Ambient Lightwe can directly set the White lightor select our favorite color from an available wheel, also deciding the intensity.
Finally we will have, within the menu scenesa wide selection of preset situations, suitable for various times of the day as when let’s watch TVor let’s read a book or we will simply be enjoying a few moments of Relax.
In this case the app chooses for us a color and an effect that help our sight and in some cases act as a real chromotherapy; also considering that we can create new scenes, experimenting is a recommended and ultimately fun activity.
By accessing the smart menu we can also create routinesso as to have certain parameters defined throughout the day; we will be able to set colors, brightness and shutdown automatically, without having to worry about anything anymore.
In addition to the app, the Smart Ambient Light MSL450 it is controllable through the various voice assistants; in fact, after coupling, it is fully compatible with Alexa, Siri through Apple HomeKit And Google Assistant.
It will therefore be sufficient to communicate normally with our favorite assistant to control the lamp without hitches and problems.
You can find this Meross smart lamp on Amazon.
