Changed switch name in Meross app, not reflected in the plug in about homebridge-meross HOT 3 CLOSED

thanks, that did the trick, I did try renaming it on the accessories page, but the log still referred to it as the old name.

It's likely that your switch's config is cached by Homebridge. In the top right of Homebridge click the 3 dots and then go to Homebridge Settings. Near the bottom is Remove Single Cached Accessory. Give that a shot, restart Homebridge, and I believe that should bring it back with the new name. Alternatively, you can just update the name in Homebridge yourself on the Accessories page.

Be warned that clearing a cached item can remove it from any automations that you might have setup through the Home or Shortcuts apps so it could force you to need to reset those automations. If you have a lot of them I would recommend just manually updating the name.

I don't have an ability to close your issue but if you're able to that'll help to reduce load on the maintainer from having to triage this issue at some point in the future.
