Setting up with Homebridge-meross with HTTP Catcher about homebridge-meross HOT 27 CLOSED

I moved over to Homebridge, as it works better with a different plugin that wouldn’t work with HOOBs

from homebridge-meross.

its all setup now. Thanks!

@ChopsKingsland first of all, switch to using just Homebridge since the Config UI has it built in to allow for easier setup. second of all you will have to get information from Charles proxy app, either a computer or mobile device. this is where you will get the timestamp, messageId, sign, IP, and channel.

What's the difference between Homebridge and HOOBS? HOOBS has a UI too

from homebridge-meross.

Well homebridge is were it all started. HOOBs is based off homebridge.

also below is an example of the easy config you get with config ui.

Charles Proxy on iOS costs £8.99, is there a free way of doing it?

from homebridge-meross.

isnt there a simpler way, that connects straight to the Meross servers without charles?

unfortunately as of now we don't have a simpler way. Possibly implementing a meross cloud way of setting up meross in the future. Which if you want to submit a pr for that, we would gladly implement it.

from homebridge-meross.

yes

there is a pc trial that you can download.

That’s awesome. Did you get this plugin to work?

from homebridge-meross.

I’m trying to find a free alternative that can always run on my pi/iPad

from homebridge-meross.

@ChopsKingsland are you talking about charles proxy?

from homebridge-meross.

yep

HTTP Catcher, try this one! It is going to be a little different then my instructions, but it works.

• Hit Configure in the top right.
• Enable VPN.
• Hit Start to start collecting.
• In "Search URL", search for your IP of the meross plug.
• You will see a Post to /config with a 200 Response with application/json.
• Click into that and hit Response header.
• From there you will find the sign,timestamp, and messageId.

once its setup, do i need http catcher at all?

from homebridge-meross.

Nope. After it’s setup you shouldn’t need it anymore.
