It works fine with IFTTT command to swith on/off devices but I want to retrieve the power usage.
The goal is to create a python script to send energy data from Meross to a Domoticz virtual sensor.
Thanks
Cheers
Clement

I found this
https://github.com/albertogeniola/MerossIot and it's what I was looking for !
After implementation, it seems to work, I get the following for energy data :
Connected with result code {'session present': 0}
Subscribing to topics...
Succesfully subscribed!
Succesfully subscribed!
--> {"payload": {}, "header": {"sign": "e23d225a40a10b7acfc7bf60c33205a3", "namespace": "Appliance.Control.Electricity", "payloadVersion": 1, "from": "/app/58143-afb5195e5fd962bb10d0f881ec66a886/subscribe", "method": "GET", "timestamp": 1537895123, "messageId": "77b0308f7568adc7a78caf7d17b0b0ec"}}
/app/58143-afb5195e5fd962bb10d0f881ec66a886/subscribe --> b'{"header":{"messageId":"77b0308f7568adc7a78caf7d17b0b0ec","namespace":"Appliance.Control.Electricity","method":"GETACK","payloadVersion":1,"from":"/appliance/18071932131318251a0534298f1370ab/publish","timestamp":1537895119,"timestampMs":160,"sign":"a2c890dee095d42e8c03da253ee67963"},"payload":{"electricity":{"channel":0,"current":41,"voltage":2331,"power":4042}}}'
{'electricity': {'channel': 0, 'power': 4042, 'current': 41, 'voltage': 2331}}
The current power is 4,042W
Now find a way to retrieve the value from the string in the python script and send it to a virtual sensor ...

Interesting devices. My key concern would be the data being retrieved from someone's cloud rather than being able to access the devices directly. I would not want my data to leave my house...

Well here is the python program to get the power value and set the virtual sensor.
This code is based on the following github:
https://github.com/albertogeniola/MerossIot
Just install and create the following python:
import time
import sys
import requests
from meross_cloud import MerossHttpClient
if __name__=='__main__':
httpHandler = MerossHttpClient(email="your meross email", password="your meross password")
# Retrieves the list of supported devices
devices = httpHandler.list_supported_devices()
# Returns the current power consumption and voltage from the plug
# (Note: this is not really realtime, but close enough)
electricity = devices[0].get_electricity()
current_status = devices[0].get_electricity()
str1 = str(current_status)
start1=str1.find('power')+8
end1=str1.find(",",start1)
output_s=str1[start1:end1-1]
output_n=int(output_s)/100
output_h=round(int(output_n))
# Parsing URL
httpurl = '
http://user:password@domoticz ip address/json.htm?type=command¶m=udevice&idx=Device ID&nvalue=0&svalue='+str(output_h)+';0;0;0;'+str(output_n)+';0'
# Sending data to Domoticz
r = requests.get(httpurl)

Next step it be the ability to access the device directly.

hi , i started to intsall the same material under my domoticz , but the code above doesn't seem to work to create a plugin.py understadable as a plugin domoticz (i couldn't see any device to set as Meross plugin) , i surely miss some code in the plugin to set so !

@CLEMENT99
Any chance you could elaborate on how you got this working, i am just setting up a Domoticz server and i have a few of these around the house.
TIA

I've setted up a script based on Meross IOT Api (
https://github.com/albertogeniola/MerossIot )
a simple python script that can interact with them
Unfortunately I do not receive back the status... just ON and OFF commands
her eis the link

You need to create a dummy device type P1 Smart Meter and set the value with a URL:
# Parsing URL
httpurl = '
http://user:password@domoticz-ip-addres ... idx=Device ID&nvalue=0&svalue='+str(output_h)+';0;0;0;'+str(output_n)+';0'
# Sending data to Domoticz
r = requests.get(httpurl)
This is only to get the value.
To swith on/off with domotics, plese follow emme sample.

Yes, it's also possbile to use IFTTT
Create a dummy device type switch.
Create 2 applets in IFTTT
In domoticz settings specify your IFTTT credentials
Change dummy device to call applets (see below) with the applet name and key
sample call ->

Did you install everything in the folder \Domoticz\scripts\python\Meross ?

Yes

do you know the exact http request sent to Meross web server , if so if will be easier to create a dvEvents script with and store the results in virtual devices (or real one if it's better), if you have the log perhaps you could share what is sent .
thanks

I'll check that with wireshark but I'm waiting for a new plug (my son left with my plug
)

does Domoticz supports python ver >= 3.6 on the plugin framework?

i have installed python 3.5 because it's on my NAS synology and i have no package of 3.6 for the system.

Hi,
I created a bridge in NodeJS based on Apollon77 allowing to control the plugs from Domoticz and to get the power consumption.
The bridge is available here:
https://github.com/mangoose002/Meross2Domoticz
I am using pm2 to run it.
Hope it can help you.
