Okay yeah nevermind, it just randomly breaks. Nothing triggers it, nothing can stop it from happening, it just breaks on its own. I’ll have to create virtual switches and bind them to the Meross devices using IFTTT. It won’t be clean or as fast, but it won’t randomly break.
Update: This was actually pretty easy to do and works well:
- Make a virtual switch, go to Connected Services, IFTTT, and make sure to include the new virtual switch so that IFTTT can access it.
- Then go to IFTTT and make an applet for when the switch is switched on, turn on Meross device, and when the switch is switched off, turn off Meross device.
- Optionally go to Connected Services and expose the virtual switch to Google so that you can control it with your assistant. Remember, you’ll need to then remove the Meross integration in GH so you don’t have duplicates.
- You’re done. Add automations to your switch, control it with voice, buttons, or just from your phone. And no more random disconnections from Meross.
