Question: Is it important to sign the messages? about meross HOT 3 CLOSED

Thank you

From what I can tell, very little as the devices don't seem to keep track of what message I'd has been used.

It's more likely to do with the two way communication via mqtt as in some cases the cloud broker will respond with the same message I'd so the other knows what it's a response to

Ok, makes sense. It can be used as an idempotency mechanism to control the messages consumed using mqtt.

I will continue trying because with switches I have no problem at all, but with the light bulbs, sometimes, I get some device a bit crazy and it stops accepting http requests...still don't know if due to wifi connection issues or some mechanism to block the device some time if it receives a lot of request in some specific time (using http I'm doing polling to check the status of the devices every 5 secs)

Thanks bytespider!

If you you feel confident you could reconnect the bulb with the cloud and record the messages for a few hours using https://github.com/bytespider/mqtt-debug. More Info on the process I used here krahabb/meross_lan#126
