Local Control - Separate Networks about homebridge-meross HOT 1 CLOSED

I tried again and this time it worked! My guess is that I haven't specified the GDO model last time I tried this, but that's just a guess.

Anyway, for anyone having a similar issue, here are the settings that worked for me:

1. Set firewall rules that allow the MSG100 to talk to Homebridge and Homebridge to talk to MSG100
2. Plugin settings for local control:

• Enter Meross user name, password and MFA code

Garage Device Settings:

• Name: Garage Door
• Device UUID: The device ID from the Homebridge log
• Device IP: 172.16.10.10 (replace with your IP address)
• Model*: MSG100

All other fields are at their defaults.
Save the plugin setting and restart Homebridge.

[Update 20240313] Using the Meross User Key stopped working (or I used the wrong field!), so I tried again with user name, password and MFA code and it worked (and is still working), so I updated this post to reflect that.

Two additional notes:

1. I guess that the issues the first time I tried with user name and password were related to the MFA key. I'll try removing the MFA from my account if it stops working again.
2. The field to specify the model of the GDO doesn't appear in the Garage Device settings when using user name and password, so I added it manually to the config file. I'm not sure whether this makes any difference, though.

Hope this helps someone.
