I recently installed the Meross MTS200 Smart Thermostat, and overall, it’s a solid addition to a smart home—but there are a couple of things you really need to know before setup.
⚠️ CRUCIAL SETUP TIP:
If you’re connecting it to Apple HomeKit or the Meross App, make sure your phone or tablet is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Not dual-band. Not 5GHz. Just plain 2.4GHz.
I made the mistake of being on 5GHz—twice—and had to fully reset the thermostat each time to get it to pair. That part was definitely frustrating.
✅ Things I Love:
• The large, clear digits on the display are super easy to see, even in bright daylight.
• The screen isn’t overly bright at night—perfect for bedroom installs where you don’t want a glowing rectangle in your face while trying to sleep.
• Once connected properly, the app and HomeKit control work great.
❌ One Major Con:
After powering on the AC, the thermostat oddly defaulted to HEATING mode instead of OFF or a neutral temperature like 20°C. The room got way too warm before I noticed. So just be aware and ready to double-check the mode right after setup.
🎯 Final Verdict:
If you’re willing to wrestle with the Wi-Fi setup and double-check the temperature mode, the Meross MTS200 is a sleek and affordable smart thermostat that looks great, works with Apple HomeKit, and fits well in any bedroom.
🛒 Tip: Set up your phone on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi before you even open the app. Trust me, it’ll save you a lot of time.
