Connecting Meross devices which are homekit-enabled

Questions & Help
1

Hello everyone,

I have a few Meross devices which are HomeKit compatible / enabled and work via Wifi.

I see two ways of getting them in Homey Pro:

  • via the Homey Meross app (from the store). As far as I understand, it works using the non-local API. If correct, this would mean non-local, possibly slow, etc.
  • I also managed to connect them directly using the HomeKit Controller Homey app from the store (the app uses HomeKit protocol to talk directly to the devices over tcp/ip locally). This sounds better, but that means that the devices are “generic” inside Homey and might not support all capabilities that Meross exposes through their API

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Have you searched in the App Store ?
