Hi everyone, I hope this thread finds you all well! I’ve been using Meross devices for quite some time now, and I must say, they’ve been a reliable addition to my smart home setup. However, the recent announcement about Meross dropping IFTTT support from November 30th has left me a bit concerned and seeking alternatives.
For those who might not be aware, IFTTT has been a cornerstone for automating various tasks across different platforms. It’s been incredibly handy for creating seamless integrations between my Meross devices and other smart home ecosystems. The thought of losing this functionality is a bit daunting, to say the least.
I’ve started exploring alternative solutions to replace IFTTT, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. One option I’ve come across is Hubitat, which seems to offer a robust platform for custom automation. However, setting it up for my garage opener has been a bit of a challenge. I’ve tried following some guides online, but the process feels a bit convoluted. Has anyone successfully integrated Meross devices with Hubitat or another platform without relying on IFTTT?
Another avenue I’m considering is leveraging MQTT for more direct communication between my devices and my hub. I’ve heard MQTT can provide a more efficient and flexible way to handle device interactions, but I’m not entirely sure how to implement it for Meross devices. Any insights or recommendations on this front would be greatly appreciated!
I’m also curious if others in the community have faced similar challenges with IFTTT’s sunset and how they’ve navigated around it. Have you found any alternative services or tools that offer similar functionality? I’m all ears for suggestions and would love to hear about your experiences.
In the meantime, I’ll continue experimenting with different setups and configurations. If I stumble upon a reliable solution, I’ll be sure to share it here. Let’s keep the discussion going and help each other adapt to these changes!
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice. Happy automating!
