Local Control - Separate Networks
Hello,

I'm trying to connect Meross MSG100 using Local Control. In my case the Homebridge is on a separate network from the MSG100 on the same router: Homebridge IP is 192.168.1.10 and MSG100 IP is 172.16.10.10. Both have static IPs and there are firewall rules enabling access from each side.

Unfortunately, I cannot make this work (the MSG100 works fine in "Hybrid" mode). Here are the plugin settings I've tried with for setting up local control:
* Configured Meross user name, password and MFA code
* "Connection Type": "Force Local Control (with configured IPs)"

Garage Device Settings:
* Name: Garage Door
* Device UUID: I copied the device ID from the Homebridge log. It is a 3**3**-char string, ending with "**}**". Specified the first 32 as Device UUID. I'm not sure whether **this is the correct string** to use (it works in Hybrid mode with the same string)?
* Connection Type: "Force Local Control (with configured IPs)"
* Device IP: 172.16.10.10

All other fields are at their defaults.

After saving and rebooting Homebridge, I see the following in the log (edits and emphasis mine):
HomeBridge log:

[05/03/2024, 12:06:23] [Meross] [Garage Door] has been reported [online].

I tried using Meross **User Key** instead of user/password, but it didn't work and I'm not sure whether I got the correct key to begin with - I installed the latest available beta version of the plugin and I tired with the values of both the "sign" and the "userID" fields for the user key, but none of them worked. Checking the "Show Meross User Key" check-box in the plugin settings didn't show the key anywhere either.

Thank you!
