Eero, Siri/HomeKit, and Smart Plugs
Hello,
I just bought an Eero Pro 5 router with two beacons. Prior to buying I had your usual 2G/5G setup and utilized six Wemo Smart Plug Minis, HomePods, etc. since installing my Eero, my smart plugs no longer work. I can’t seem to get them to install. They’re 2.4ghz only. I’ve tried my iPad (at the same ghz), stopped the 5ghz band for 15 minutes, installed a different router for them off the main Eero, and just about everything I could think of and have read. They just won’t connect.
I was able to at one point connect it to the Eero, but it failed to connect to the HomeKit or Wemo apps and had an error when installing.
So, I’ve given up on them. Does anyone have any recommendations on Smart Plugs that do work with Eero Pro 5 and HomeKit? I would really like suggestions. I really enjoyed my connectivity with my plugs and HomePods, and it really do love the internet quality with my Eero Mesh system. I’m hopeful that products are out there to help Me get the best of two!

The Amazon plugs always work, but I recently got these Kasa brand made by TP-Link and they work great plus mush cheaper than the Amazon plugs.
