Resetting a Meross smart plug is straightforward. Here are reliable methods that work across most Meross MSS-series plugs (including MSS110, MSS115, MSS120, MSS210, etc.): Direct reset (physical button)
- Ensure the plug is powered on and plugged in.
- Press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds.
- Release once the LED starts blinking rapidly (often amber/green or a rapid blink, depending on model).
- The plug should exit its current configuration and enter pairing/reset mode.
Re-add or reconfigure after reset
- Open the Meross app (or the HomeKit/your preferred ecosystem app if the device is integrated there).
- Follow the on-screen instructions to re-add the device to your Wi‑Fi network and to the desired scene or automation.
- If pairing fails, try moving the plug closer to your router during setup to improve signal, then re-introduce it to the network once connected.
Alternate method (via app)
- In the Meross app, locate the device (or “Remove device” if it’s still present but not functioning).
- Choose the option to remove or reset the device from the app settings, then perform a fresh setup as if it were new.
Tips and troubleshooting
- If the LED behavior is unclear, consult the specific model’s manual for the exact blink pattern that confirms a reset (some models use different color sequences). A full reset typically clears Wi‑Fi settings and removes the device from your account, requiring re-adding it.
- After reset, you may need to re-create automations or scenes in your smart home app, since the device is restored to factory defaults.
- If you cannot reset using the button (faulty button or non-responsive device), the Meross app method (Remove device and re-add) is the alternative route to achieve a similar result.
If you can share your exact Meross model (for example MSS110, MSS120, MSS210, etc.) I can tailor the steps precisely and note any model-specific LED indicators or sequence differences.
