Thanks so much, I had loved the robustness and utility of these meross devices. When I started my Home Assistant journey I was dismayed at the complicated steps to integrate them into home assistant. Than I came across your vlog and very quickly linked them in. I have resolved to only use devices that integrate well out of the box, I want to automate my home, not spend extra time getting things to work.So thanks very much!

Glad I could help!

Thank you for a wonderful video. I’d be interested to see the way to connect to a local MQTT local broker as you alluded to in this video. Will you be making a video coving this topic, no pun intended. 😊

When I manage to figure out the MQTT hacks for Meross I'll follow up for sure.

Any preference for the standard Meross smart plugs or the Meross Homekit ones? Some reviews said IOS updates stop the Homekit ones from working. Would also have to install Homekit Device integration for the Homekit ones.

Meross LAN should work regardless of them being Homekit or standalone. I've not tried the smart plugs through Meross LAN yet though.
