MSG200 cannot hide garage doors on inactive ports about homebridge-meross HOT 9 OPEN

I have this issue as well. A 3rd "Smart Garage Door Opener" device is added to Homebridge when Meross is connected when I only have 2 garage doors enabled on the MSG200. 3rd device does not appear in Alexa app, only the 2 garage doors that are enabled in the Meross app.

from homebridge-meross.

After installing the MSG200 to operate both my garage doors, I have found that the Meross to Homebridge translation is off more than just acknowledging the 3rd door is disabled.

Here are the issues I see:

The MSG200 has 3 ports, labeled 1, 2, and 3 on the unit. In the Meross app, these match up to Garage Door 1, Garage Door 2, and Garage Door 3, respectively, as default names.

When I installed the MSG200 in the garage and hooked up the port 2 garage door first, which is Garage Door 2 in the Meross app, HomeKit reported that Garage Door 1 was closed. Garage Door 2 in HomeKit did not open/close the door and did not see the sensor state. When I got to hooking up the wiring for port 1, which is Garage Door 1 in the Meross app, HomeKit reported that "Smart Garage Door Opener" was closed. There is no door named "Smart Garage Door Opener" in the Meross app, and I had assumed this name in HomeKit is what it was showing for the disabled Garage Door 3, but apparently not. When I tap "Smart Garage Door Opener" in HomeKit, Garage Door 1 opens/closes and sensor state is seen. And no, I did not change the names in the HomeKit app, just used what Homebridge assigned.

So in summary, the mapping from Meross to HomeKit is out of whack as follows:

Meross app Port 1/Garage Door 1 ----> HomeKit Smart Garage Door Opener
Meross app Port 2/Garage Door 2 ----> HomeKit Garage Door 1
Meross app Port 3/Garage Door 3 ----> HomeKit Garage Door 2

I have disabled the Meross plugin and removed the cached garage doors just to see if anything changed, but it went back to the same wrong mapping.

Yeah I had the same confusion with the inconsistent garage door naming scheme between Homebridge and the Meross app but came to the same conclusion after a little bit of trial and error.

Hi all,

Specific channels of the garage opener can be ignored/removed via the plugin settings

As for the strange naming schema, could be an issue with how the plugin gets the channel names, will get back to you

Thank you! This seemed to fix the problem. I have the connection type set to Hybrid up top. Should I set the same here or just leave as default None?

You can leave that as 'None'.

Could you do me a favour and update to the beta version of the plugin?

https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki/How-to-Install-Alternate-Plugin-Versions

Once installed and restarted, check the homebridge logs, you should see a big red section of text (its not an error, its info about your MSG200).

Would you be happy to copy and paste this here? You can remove any device IDs / IPs etc.

Just want to see the structure to be able to correctly parse the channel names.

This worked for a while but after the recent API update, I am again unable to hide "Garage Door 2" in Homekit (which corresponds to Port 3 in the Meross app).

Disregard... fixed after updating to v10.3.0

Thanks to the devs for quickly addressing these API changes!
