Hi all,
I bought an Meross smart humidifier MSXH0 a few days ago and now try to integrate it with https://github.com/albertogeniola/meross-homeassistant in my setup. I installed it with HACS. Afterwards I wondered a little, why the “configuration using the web UI” did not work at all, but with editing configuration.yaml it worked. I can now control the humidifier what is the main thing and I’m happy .
The question is now: Is there a way to control the light and the light color also? I have only a fan component I can control at the moment. I also did not have much experience with GitHub and don’t know how and if this is a reason for a request…
Great so just Wi-Fi? Or do you mean some kind of meross router? Will it work with zigbee? I think meross is not supported.
Just to confirm: there is an integration in home assistant which doesn’t need meross account login / password data? It connects humidifier directly to home assistant.
BTW I found many opinions this humidifier stop working after 3 weeks etc. My guess is people use “dirty” water instead of distilled water and filter is limescale. What type of water do you use? Will buy the same humidifier today?
I’m not sure if thats the only way it works, but i used it this way:
The humidifier was connected via W-LAN to my router. This was done with the meross app on my smartphone. As far as can remember this is cloud based (i’m not sure if this work without using cloud) i.e. I could control the humidifier with the app from outside of my W-LAN.
When I had this part running, I could use the meross integration of home assistant (with meross app login data). That worked for me a few months well. Then somehow I get some issues related to the state of the humdifier (showed intervall mode but was in continous mode and things like that) and again after a few months some W-LAN connection issues with strange disconnects. This was the point i decided to throw it into the trashcan - especially because this was already the second one. The first one stoped working from one day to the other completely (guarantee was fine and a get a new one afterwards).
BTW: I used only distilled water
My resumee is that the meross humdifier is more a toy then a humidifier. I now use a Philips AC3829/10 - much more expensive, but much better.
Maybe you could specify what you mean by “with edting configuration”? I just bought a simple Meross Humidifier and it was instantly shown in the Meross app but the HACS integration is showing nothing at all.
