Unable to make it work about meross HOT 8 CLOSED

Can you give some detail about your setup?
What MQTT broker? How is MQTT set up? Are you using Home Assistant?

from meross.

mqtt configured using mosquitto as per example provided (Minimal unauthenticated), except port which I use 1883, on Home Assistant Core deployment.

However the issue right now is that not even able to see the device joining Wifi Network. setup command is the following:
./meross setup --gateway 10.10.10.1 --wifi-ssid RoDaniH --wifi-pass ******** --mqtt mqtts://192.168.68.100:1883

Device will reboot...

Nothing on mosquitto:

sh-3.2$ mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.68.100 -p 1883 -t "/appliance/19011804581223251h0434298f1a4b07/publish" --cafile /Users/user/ca-meross.crt

Meross devices can only use port 8883

You are certainly right. I have re run setup and reconfigure mqtt and now mss210 is showing up on mosquitto and home assistant. Couple of questions though:

• Is it expected that MS210 led keeps blinking green instead of solid green when working on cloud?
• Also, HA only works for turning the swith off as when I do so, entity becomes unresponsive on home assistant until manually turned on
  Thanks

Sorry, I don't have any experience with the MSS210. However, I expect it's still flashing as it's unable to connect to something or isn't receiving some kind of configuration complete signal. It would be with seeing what messages it sends to your broker.

What integration are you using to control the device? It's possible they have not implemented the device status in a way that works for this device.

I´m working with Meross LAN on Home Assistant. I guess I´ll have to follow this investigation up with them.

Thanks a lot for your help

from meross.

They are great at Meross LAN, they'll get you set up in no time.

@DanyGijon FYI it could be because the device need to connect to an external NTP server:

pool.ntp.org
0.amazon.pool.ntp.org
time1.aliyun.com
0.europe.pool.ntp.org
0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
0.south-america.pool.ntp.org
