It uses asyncio for non-blocking I/O and communicates with devices via HTTP and MQTT, handling authentication, device discovery, and state management. The library wraps the Meross cloud API, so devices must be registered to a Meross account and reachable via the internet.\n\nThe library is actively maintained and has been tested against a range of Meross hardware (MSS310, MSS425E, MSG100, MSH300, and others). Version 0.4.10.4 fixes a critical issue with sub-device handling that broke earlier versions. It requires Python 3.8+ and depends on paho-mqtt, requests, aiohttp, and pycryptodomex for MQTT communication, HTTP requests, async operations, and cryptography respectively.","worth_installing":"Yes. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive MIT license, and supports a broad range of Meross devices. The recent 0.4.10.4 release fixes a critical sub-device API issue. Install it if you own Meross devices and need programmatic control; avoid it only if you lack a Meross account or require support for devices not listed in the tested hardware."},"id":"meross-iot","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/meross-iot","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/meross-iot.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/meross-iot/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"meross-iot","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A simple library to deal with Meross devices.
