Meross MSS425F smart plug strip

Heya everyone! I am trying to connect my Meross MSS425F smart plug strip to Homey via HomeKit Controller. I was actually able to connect it just fine and it worked… for about 12 hours. Then Homey lost connection with it. When I have it connected directly to HomeKit, it works just fine - I actually had it hooked up for like 2 months before I even got the Homey - not a single problem.

Now, I do NOT think the problem is with HomeKit controller. I suspect it’s something with the plug strip itself. So, before I try again, I wanted to ask if anyone else has tried to connect this smart plug strip into Homey? If so, how’d it go? Any tips you can give me?

I have heard that Meross has a bit of a bad reputation around the Homey community - but 8 of the 9 other Meross smart plugs (single plugs, not plug strips) are connected to Homey and have never given me a bit of trouble. The one that did is an older one, and unlike the others, the old one is NOT a matter device. The plug strip is also not matter (I have not been able to fine ANY matter enabled plug strips), but it is HomeKit certified - and like I said, I did have it up and running in Homey (via HomeKit controller) for about 12 hours.

I’d the same issues with MSS425F. No way to get it working. Also with HomeKit controller I can’t get all outlets mapped to homey. I switched to MSP844, which uses Matter-over-WiFi. Now I’ve got all outlets mapped to Homey and can switch it on/off.

Unfortunately, the MSP844 doesn’t seem to have a US version :frowning:
