Will I be able to control the meross devices remotely? Meaning, right now my Eisy is at house #1, the meross are at house #2. But if we can get it working, I will be adding a new Eisy to house #2. So in the meantime, it sounds like you are expecting a "local" connection for the plug in to work? So I am not sure I can help with testing in that case for now.

I think I understand most of what you said.. lol... if there is any data I can get for you from my current switches etc, let me know how etc. I have on / off, dimmer, 3ways, plug and bulbs. thanks.

When you say hub, what are you referring to? Meross doesn't have a hub as far as I know. I do not use a hub for meross directly, but they are part of my Smartthings hub. For apple HomeKit, all you need is the app on your phone. No other apple hardware should be needed. thanks.

Interesting on your double adding the devices.. I have not had any problem with plugs, switches, and bulbs.. I seem to remember though if they are Apple HomeKit version, than you need to add it via home kit app.

I would say about half of my devices work with matter. Yes they have quite a few devices..if this is something of interest to you to pursue, I would be happy to send you a few devices: dimmer, plug, bulb, on/off switch. Let me know.

I have a second home where I use Samsung smarthings hub with meross switches and bulbs. For the 2nd or 3d time, my Smartthings has lost all the devices in my 30+ routines, making them unusable until I recreate them. Annoying to say the least.. I would like to switch over to an Eisy at this location, but I need a Meross Plug in. Is there any developers out there that would like to work on this? Feel free to DM me. Thanks!

@walkman9999 Forgot to remind you to run “discover new devices” in Alexa so it would find it immediately Anytime you add something to the portal you need to run it cheers glad you got it working onto plugins next!! 😀

@walkman9999 It's under smart Home.. just look for the device. in my case it's called "TuckerinGarage" In the portal link, did you specify 1 as motion? In Alexa you will be asked "when motion is... Detected or Not detected." which is 1 for motion if you set it as that, and anything else for not.

If you are open to Alexa, it is by far the easiest way to accomplish. Steps: 1) create a variable in ISY ie: Door open 2) using the portal, link this variable as a Motion detector in Alexa where the value can be 0 or 1 3) In Alexa, create a routine that when the variable becomes a 1, have it speak what you would like. ie The rear door has been opened. When a 0, have it say, the rear door has been closed. 4) in Isy, create a program that monitors the door sensor and when it opens, change the above variable to a 1, then have it change back when closed. Here is an example... I have an Insteon motion sensor that monitors a doggy door. Once the system is "armed" to watch for the dog coming in, a separate program that sees the motion senso,r triggers the following program. Dogs Home Alert LD - [ID 004D][Parent 01B1][Not Enabled] Then Repeat Every 3 minutes $TuckerInGarage = 1 $TuckerInGarage Init To $TuckerInGarage Wait 30 seconds $TuckerInGarage = 0 $TuckerInGarage Init To $TuckerInGarage Wait 30 seconds Tucker in Garage variable is linked to Alexa Routine to speak. The variable I used for this is $tuckerinGarage. In the portal it looks like this: Notice that I make the Spoken gibberish so that Alexa never hears it. In Alexa, this is what the routine would like like where you use the "motion Sensor" that you established in the portal as the trigger.

ok.. perfect.. then I can use that number to check to see if hte data is current. that is what I was looking for.. thanks!

Deleted the WEbcontorl 8 beta, Installed 2 instances of Webcontol 832. First one worked as expected. The second one would not take the Json Names, but did recognize the nodes. Had to delete it and reinstall... all working now as expected. Just a FYI.. cheers.

To verify, the problem is simply that I am running 8 vs 832 so it wont see it, even in the beta store. I will have to delete 8 and just start over with 832. No worries..:) . Thanks for a great plugin!

The above doesn't tell me if my station is actually online.. all it says is the Plugin connection to the hub. It's the hub connection to the Weather station that keeps dropping that I am looking to monitor. I get emails like this: Your WeatherFlow Tempest device named ST-00049763 at station Elk lake stopped sending data. Check that it has power and/or try moving your Tempest closer to your WeatherFlow Hub. The plug in will still report connected. Am not sure what the Hub Seconds is actually referring to. But I may be able to use that as currently. mine is reading 165469.

Yes thst is probably the problem I have wc8. Beta will upgrade tomorrow and then switch to production thanks!!

no worries..:)
