Meross

I invested in a couple of Meross smart plugs and lights and now I keep getting the below email: “ ATTENTION: Service Termination of Your meross Smart Device due to Security Concerns” I’m sure my plugs and lights have not been hacked and I assume I get this message because I’m rate limited to their cloud service, because I bought many of Meross smart devices. Devices keep disconnecting from the cloud and prevents me from controlling them remotely. I have to reset and re-link devices to my account every time this happens. Only would recommend Meross devices if you’re planning to use with HomeKit since you get remote control via an Apple Home Hub and don’t have to rely on Meross. If you’re using this with any other smart home ecosystem the cloud rate limit turns your investment in Meross devices a huge pile of garbage. Rather go with Sonoff/eWeLink since those are much more stable and less likely to disconnect.

Meross is really great affordable HomeKit products. I have automated two home with Meross products and they work great. I recommend Meross products

One feature i like that apple home doesn’t have.

Occasionally doesn’t find devices but does a decent job. Should have a geotag for garage door for security

Totally organized and functionally complete.

It does what I want, when I want can’t ask for more than that.

I only wish it told you each time the garage opens or close as a notification to your phn. You on get a notification if an alert goes off such as being open too long. It also requires and extra kit order for sir or ISO to work properly.

Equipment installation was easy. Software/App installation was reasonably easy but would be a bit challenging for someone with limited understanding of home networks. Neither my elderly mom nor my wife would be able to install software.

Just went to YouTube and watched a few times. It’s very simple installation Why pay $200 when I can do it myself and be proud
