Meross is a smart home brand founded in 2016 and based in Chengdu, China, that makes Wi-Fi plugs, switches, bulbs, garage door openers, thermostats, sensors and a hub. Devices are set up and controlled through the Meross app, and many also work with voice assistants and, on selected models, Matter.
Meross products mostly join the home Wi-Fi directly and are controlled through the Meross app and cloud, with no hub needed for plugs and switches. Selected newer models add Matter, which lets the same device be added to Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa or SmartThings. A Matter hub, the MSH450, exists for Meross sensors and similar accessories.
That suits people who want inexpensive plugs, switches and a garage door opener that work with the main voice assistants and may later move to Home Assistant or Homey. It is weaker for anyone who wants every device to run locally with official support: Home Assistant and Homey access is largely through community or partner-built add-ons, and Meross ended its IFTTT service in 2022.

The only app we found. It controls devices from anywhere, sets schedules and scenes, links voice assistants, installs firmware updates and includes setup guides and a forum. The listing names Wi-Fi bulbs, plugs, switches, garage door openers, thermostats, air purifiers, sensors and humidifiers. Published by Chengdu Meross Technology Co., Ltd. We could not confirm the Google Play listing, so no Android link is given.

Meross devices connect over Wi-Fi and are managed through the Meross app. One review article says Meross devices use only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and store data on AWS servers in the US. The MSH450 hub's store page also lists 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi plus an Ethernet port.
None of these are mentioned on the Meross pages we opened. One review article says Meross devices do not use Thread or other mesh networks, but a Homey community thread says Matter devices use Wi-Fi or Thread depending on the model. We could not confirm which, if any, Meross products use Thread.
Meross lists Matter support and publishes instructions for adding Matter devices to Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home and SmartThings. Google needs a Matter-enabled hub and SmartThings needs a SmartThings hub. A Homey community thread lists Matter models including MSS115, MSS315, MSS715, MSS815, MS600 and several thermostats. We could not find an official product list on the pages we opened.
Meross sells the MSH450 as a Matter smart hub. Its store page says it supports Matter, HomeKit, Alexa and Google Home, and names the MS400 water sensor as a device that connects to it. The Homey thread lists a smoke detector, a radiator thermostat and a temperature sensor as Matter devices via the MSH450. The pages we opened do not describe the hub's bridge role in detail.
Meross supports Google Assistant, and for Matter devices its FAQ describes adding the device under New device then Matter-enabled device in the Google Home app. A Matter-enabled hub must already be set up. The Meross app listing we opened does not mention Google.
The Meross app listing describes linking a voice assistant platform and mentions Alexa. Meross's FAQ also gives steps for adding Matter devices in the Alexa app. Meross says it joined Alexa Matter development early.
Meross sells HomeKit versions of its devices and posts a firmware notice for HomeKit stability. Its FAQ says Matter devices can be added in the Apple Home app by scanning the Matter code, after which they appear in the Meross app on iPhone.
Meross's FAQ describes adding Matter devices through a SmartThings hub by scanning the QR code. A 2020 SmartThings community thread describes an older direct Meross link that users said often broke, so the older route is not a reliable guide today.
We found no built-in Meross integration, though we could not open Home Assistant's integrations page to be sure. Two HACS add-ons exist. Meross LAN supports local HTTP, local MQTT and Meross cloud MQTT, and its author lists many switches, lights, sensors and thermostats, some experimental. A separate cloud-based component built on the MerossIot library supports bulbs, switches, garage door openers and valves. Matter models can also be added through Home Assistant's own Matter support, and users report mixed reliability and a preference for Meross LAN for energy data.
A Meross app for Homey was built by a Homey community member who also works at Athom, as a side project in collaboration with the Meross team. The thread also says Homey is developing the official integration, so we could not confirm whether this app is the official one. Matter devices need a Homey Pro or Self-Hosted Server. Non-Matter plugs and switches work on Homey models running firmware 13.0.0 or later, signing in through Meross Cloud, and commands go over the local network where reachable. The thread does not mention Homey Bridge.
We found no published Meross developer API or local API documentation when we searched. The community Home Assistant add-ons above work by reverse engineering the device and cloud protocols.
