Troubleshooting

Sensor not responding or sending alerts.

Ensure the Meross hub is powered on and connected to the internet. Check that the sensor's battery is properly inserted and has sufficient charge. Verify the sensor is within range of the hub. Try re-pairing the sensor with the hub via the Meross app.

False alerts or intermittent connectivity.

Check the magnetic alignment and distance between the sensor and its magnetic counterpart. Ensure the distance does not exceed 24mm. Minimize interference by placing the hub away from other wireless devices or large metal objects. Ensure the sensor's battery is healthy.

Unable to add sensor to the Meross app.

Confirm you are using the correct Meross app version. Ensure the sensor is in pairing mode (refer to app instructions or manual). Make sure the Meross hub is already added and online in your app. Restart both the hub and your smartphone.

Battery drains faster than expected.

Ensure the sensor is not placed too far from the hub, which can cause it to use more power to maintain a connection. Check for physical damage or environmental factors (extreme temperatures) that might affect battery performance. Use high-quality replacement batteries.
