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.
