Are you using any smart home software or hardware now? This forum is about Home Assistant, not general make-my-plug work stuff.
The “Meross LAN” integration, available via HACS, lists the MSS110 as a compatible device.
Confusingly, there’s also an integration called “Meross Integration” (also in HACS), which also seems to support the MSS110.
excuse my ignorance lol im very new to Home Automation i have only just discoved it what is HACS ?
HACS is the Home Assistant Community Store, which offers even more integrations and add-ons for HA (in addition to those that the official integrated store offers).
HACS is itself an add-on that you need to install first. You can also install most HACS integrations manually, but that may require poking around in files whereas HACS provides a UI. In fact, I had the aforementioned Meross LAN integration installed manually at first before I switched to using HACS.
HACS only provide integrations, not addons.
And the installation of HACS is a bit of a paradox, because it is an integration and not an addon.
However the author of HACS made an addon that then installs the integration. Very confusing!
cheers guys thanks for that i will do some investiogations and it will give me something to do

Thanks for the correction. Got my terminology mixed up there.
